is.evaluation.quotesLandscapes should include not only reserves but also sustainably managed commercial forestswhere old-growth features are maintained, enhanced and restoredthrough silvicultural practices (Hansen et al., 1991; Lindenmayerand Franklin, 2002).
is.evaluation.quotesIn the framework of certification, mature commercial stands canbe managed in a way to provide many functional characteristicsof old growth. The main problem in the FSC-certified, mostlynaturally regenerated, commercial stands in Estonia is the lackof very large trees, particularly of late-successional deciduousspecies. That problem should be addressed both by improvingsilvicultural techniques (retention cutting, salvage logging) andindicators set by the national FSC-standard.
