The 'Ecosystem Components' Journey
Challenges &
Opportunities to EBM
Ecosystem Components
In commercial forest tenures, areas protected for alternative values or without merchantable timber are usually excluded from long-term forest management planning. Finding ways to include whole landscapes for EBM has become a challenge. Indeed, we have a habit of managing ecosystem components as independent entities. Natural pattern approaches can involve one, several, or all ecosystem pieces and the EBM ideal involves integrated management of all ecosystem components.
