BiodiversityBiodiversityThe variety and abundance of all life forms in
a place … and
the processes,
functions and
structures that
sustain variety
and allow it to
adapt to change

Sustainable ForestrySustainable Forestry
The suite of forest policies, plans and practices that seek to
sustain a specified
array of forest
benefits in a
particular place, i.e.,
conditions, values,
functions, uses,
products, &
services.

““First Rule of Sustainable Forestry”First Rule of Sustainable Forestry”
Keep forestlands in forest uses for forest
values
1865-1920: forests converted at rate of
13,000 ac/day
2000: “open spaces” being converted at rate
of 4,000 ac/day

Forest biodiversity occurs at multiple scalesmultiple scales
– from microsites to regional
landscapes
Disturbance dynamicsDisturbance dynamics shape forest diversity
– in the past and in the future

biodiversity practicable

Future Range of Variation (FRV)Future Range of Variation (FRV)
Legacy effects are lasting
Climate change is continual
More people with changing resource
demands, values, risk tolerance
Invasive species create new challenges
New technologies, “toys,” knowledge
