ON THE OPTIMAL DEPLETION OF OLD-GROWTH FORESTS AND THE PRESERVATION OF WILDERNESS [PDF]

The problem of optimal depletion of old-growth forests and establishment of plantations is explored. The old-growth has value for the timber products it contains and the wilderness services it provides if left unharvested.

Biosphere–Atmosphere Exchange of Old-Growth Forests: Processes and Pattern

, 2009
Old growth forests are a substantial part of the global forested area, but differ in age, structure and composition from younger or managed forests.

Crown plasticity and neighborhood interactions of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) in an old-growth forest [PDF]

, 2012
Competition for canopy space is a process of major importance in forest dynamics. Although virgin and old-growth European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) forests in Europe have been studied for many years, there are to date no studies of individual-tree crown

Mature and old-growth forests contribute to large-scale conservation targets in the conterminous United States

, 2022
Mature and old-growth forests (MOG) of the conterminous United States collectively support exceptional levels of biodiversity but have declined substantially from logging and development.

Variability and dynamics of old-growth forests in the circumboreal zone: implications for conservation, restoration and management

Silva Fennica, 2011
Due to the unprecedented loss of old-growth forests to harvesting throughout circumboreal regions an understanding of similarities and differences in old-growth dynamics is needed to design effective restoration, management and conservation efforts ...

Are old-growth forests still able to accumulate carbon?

Forest@, 2006
A recent paper published in Science (Zhou et al. 2006) reports an unexpectedly high accumulation of carbon in the top 20-cm soil layer in a preserved old-growth forest in southern China during 24 years.

Living among Frequent-fire Forests: Human History and Cultural Perspectives

Ecology and Society, 2007
Ecological and social factors shaped old-growth forests of the western United States before Euro-American settlement, and will, in large part, determine their future.

Trophic position determines the persistence of neotropical understory birds after forest disturbance

Ecology and Evolution
Habitat loss and degradation are key drivers of the current biodiversity crisis. Most research focuses on the question of which traits allow species to persist in degraded habitats.
