Managing for Old-Growth Structure in Northern Hardwood Forests
Authors: William Keeton
Recent research in the northeastern U.S. has focused on "structure" or "disturbance-based" silviculture. The as yet untested hypothesis is that these approaches can sustain a broader array of biodiversity and ecosystem functions than conventional systems. This hypothesis is being tested using a system that promotes old-growth structural characteristics, termed "Structural Complexity Enhancement (SCE)."
