| Summary: | The following forest biodiversity management practices are discussed from a silvicultural and economic perspective: green tree retention, dead wood retention, prescribed burning, key-habitat preservation, forest preservation in protected areas, and landscape-scale planning. The strong need to establish a sound scientific basis for these practices is stressed. Further recommendations include a greater research focus on the practical aspects of implementing the management practices and on their economic effects on wood production. Also important is a greater reliance on empirical data in addition to mathematic modeling, close collaboration between researchers and managers, multi-disciplinary research, and effective dissemination of results. |
