Suggested silvicultural treatments to emulate natural stand dynamics and structure (refer to Fig. 5). Partial cuts are proposed to emulate succession of first to second cohorts and second to third cohorts, whereas selection cuts are proposed to maintain third cohort structures. Second and third cohort stands can be transformed, and first cohort stands maintained, into first cohort stands by clearcutting (with or without site preparation and planting). Modified from Bergeron et al. (2007) and Fenton et al. (2009)
