Contemporary forest restoration: A review emphasizing function (2014, background): “In fact, retention of live trees at harvest has evolved as a key approach for restoring more age-complex forest stands (Elmqvist et al., 2002; Gustafsson et al., 2012; Lindenmayer et al., 2012).”
The impact of even‐aged and uneven‐aged forest management on regional biodiversity of multiple taxa in European beech forests (2018, background): “In countries of the temperate zone, two approaches for reducing biodiversity loss in managed forests are currently being discussed: (1) to reject complete biomass removals by leaving retention trees (Lindenmayer et al., 2012) and (2) to manage at a rather fine spatial grain by single tree or group s”
