Chapter synopsis: Multiaged forests are thought to have the redundant structure to withstand changing disturbance regimes that are expected with the future climatic scenarios. This chapter describes the methods for deciding how to control stand density in multiaged silviculture at both the stand level and the individual tree level. The chapter examines stand regeneration and the resilience and recovery of multiaged forests. Finally, the chapter looks ahead to future research trends and suggests further reading in this area.
