Abstract

Resilience in production forests can be achieved through natural ecological processes or repeated intensive interventions. We caution that ‘coerced’ resilience derived from intense and repeated human inputs may exacerbate biodiversity loss, narrow the range of ecosystem services provided and limit general resilience (that is, the capacity of production forests to recover from unforeseen disturbances).
