“…Affleck (2008) merged PDS with PI sampling to create line intercept distance sampling to improve fuel sampling and got similar performances to PDS. Ståhl et al (2010) merged critical length methods with PDS which appears to have improved CWD sampling. However, few studies have yet examined the performance of various sampling techniques for measuring across multiple fuelbed components, such as combinations of FWD and CWD, live and dead shrubs, and herbs on the forest.…”

“…During the last 15 years, numerous more efficient field-based sampling methods for assessing the quantity and quality of CWD have been applied and developed (Ståhl et al 2001(Ståhl et al , 2010Ducey et al 2013;Gove et al 2013). Strip sampling was a common inventory method for collecting information about living trees in the past, but nowadays it is mainly used for rare forest characteristics (Stehman and Salzer 2000), while fixed-sized sample plots, which are widely used in forest inventories, are also common in CWD inventories (Ståhl et al 2001;Gove and van Deusen 2011).…”

Aims & Scope:Well-managed forests and woodlands are a renewable resource, producing essential raw material with minimum waste and energy use. Rich in habitat and species diversity, forests may contribute to increased ecosystem stability. They can absorb the effects of unwanted deposition and other disturbances and protect neighbouring ecosystems by maintaining stable nutrient and energy cycles and by preventing soil degradation and erosion. They provide much-needed recreation and their continued existence contributes to stabilizing rural communities.Forests are managed for timber production and species, habitat and process conservation. A subtle shift from multiple-use management to ecosystems management is being observed and the new ecological perspective of multi-functional forest management is based on the principles of ecosystem diversity, stability and elasticity, and the dynamic equilibrium of primary and secondary production.Making full use of new technology is one of the challenges facing forest management today. Resource information must be obtained with a limited budget. This requires better timing of resource assessment activities and improved use of multiple data sources. Sound ecosystems management, like any other management activity, relies on effective forecasting and operational control.The aim of the book series Managing Forest Ecosystems is to present state-of-the-art research results relating to the practice of forest management. Contributions are solicited from prominent authors. Each reference book, monograph or proceedings volume will be focused to deal with a specific context. Typical issues of the series are: resource assessment techniques, evaluating sustainability for even-aged and uneven-aged forests, multi-objective management, predicting forest development, optimizing forest management, biodiversity management and monitoring, risk assessment and economic analysis.

“…1. In past simulation studies, grid cell resolutions on the order of one quarter to one half meter have proven quite reasonable (Williams and Gove, 2003;Gove et al, 2005;Ståhl et al, 2010;Gove and Van Deusen, 2011), therefore we employ half-meter resolution here. The log population for the simulations was constructed from a simple taper equation (Van Deusen, 1990) given in Table 2.…”
