Retention Forestry to Maintain Multifunctional Forests: A World Perspective (2012, background): “…the most negative impacts on biodiversity and the environment (e.g., McDermott et al. 2010), traditional selection systems also drastically reduce diversity in forests, such as by decreasing the amounts of old and dead trees (Angers et al. 2005, Mitchell RJ et al. 2006, Kenefic and Nyland 2007).”
Silviculture for old-growth attributes (2009, background): “For example, management based on tree size, e.g. diameter-limit cuts or target diameter harvesting, leads to increasing small-scale spatial variability (Angers et al., 2005).”
Regeneration responses to gap size and coarse woody debris within natural disturbance-based silvicultural systems in northeastern Minnesota, USA (2011, background): “In contrast, management of northern hardwood forests in the upper Great Lakes region has emphasized single-tree selection (Arbogast, 1957; Crow et al., 2002; Angers et al., 2005).”
