Abstract

Public land management across North America now incorporates multiple ecological and social values and has led to use of increasingly complex silvicultural systems, such as those designed to emulate natural disturbance regimes, in an effort to manage for this wider variety of objectives. In the eastern United States and Canada, canopy gap-based silvicultural systems are often used to promote and sustain intra-stand variability in temporal and spatial patterns. These are difficult to model in many of the region's growth and yield models, with the inherent intra-stand variability tenuously assumed to have negligible effects on stand responses despite increasing evidence to the contrary.
