Despite considerable progress over the past two decades towards a more holistic approach to sustainable forest management (SFM) Canadian land managers require better tools to effectively manage boreal landscapes for a range of values - from timber productivity, to ecosystem function and biodiversity. New silvicultural approaches, such as variable retention harvesting, are increasingly being accepted as an approach to achieve the objectives of ecologically-based SFM. Still, we have much to learn about the impacts of such practices and, more importantly, how we can optimally deploy them on the landscape in order to support natural biodiversity while maximizing potential forest-site productivity.

尽管在过去二十年中，加拿大在采取更全面的可持续森林管理方法方面取得了相当大的进展，但加拿大土地管理者需要更好的工具来有效地管理北方景观，以实现从木材生产力到生态系统功能和生物多样性等一系列价值。新的造林方法，例如可变保留采伐，正日益被接受为实现以生态为基础的可持续森林管理目标的一种方法。尽管如此，关于这些做法的影响，我们还有很多需要了解的，更重要的是，我们如何在景观上最佳地部署它们，以支持自然生物多样性，同时最大限度地提高潜在的森林生产力。
