The choice of path to resilience is crucial to the future of production forests
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Resilience in production forests can be
achieved through natural ecological processes
or repeated intensive interventions. We
caution that ‘coerced’ resilience derived
from intense and repeated human inputs
may exacerbate biodiversity loss, narrow the
range of ecosystem services provided and
limit general resilience (that is, the capacity of
production forests to recover from unforeseen
disturbances).
