Modeling persistence of coarse woody debris residuals in boreal forests as an ecological property
There is a trade‐off between leaving coarse woody debris (CWD) in the stand, providing desirable ecosystem services, and harvesting it. To consider this trade‐off, forest management needs to model describing the decomposition of CWD.
