About Unit

The Uneven-aged Silviculture Research Group is an interdisciplinary organization of researchers from boreal, temperate and tropical forest regions working on all aspects of uneven-aged silviculture including economic, ecological, forest health, and many others.

State of Knowledge

Uneven-aged silviculture is the intentional management of forest stands to include multiple age classes of trees. The Uneven-aged Silviculture Research Group  facilitates interaction among researchers studying the dynamics and management of uneven-aged forests and researchers working on related natural resource problems. A resurgent interest in uneven-aged silviculture is occurring all over the world as it is increasingly seen as a viable alternative to even-aged systems where concerns over aesthetics, wildlife management, or maintenance of continuous cover predominate. Because uneven-aged silviculture is of interest for so many objectives and being studied by researchers from so many different disciplines, the Uneven-aged Silviculture Research Group also seeks to create and promote a cooperative network of researchers from disciplines beyond only silviculture.

Research being shared among the Research Group is as diverse as its participants. However, a few themes have emerged: 1) study sites for the Research Group are inclusive of stands with multiple age classes or cohorts, single- or mixed-species, and collectively these stand structures are referred to as “complex stand structures
