Abstract

The use of variable retention (VR) in Canada, the USA and Tasmania, the island state off southern Australia, varies widely. Variable retention, a harvesting technique that retains biological legacies at the site-level, is increasingly being used worldwide in place of clearcutting. Usually the aims are greater social acceptability for timber harvesting and improved biodiversity outcomes
