Continue to use existing and proven management techniques. These keep our trees and native plant communities vigorous, productive and resilient to adverse changes. Build in “response diversity”. Manage for high tree species diversity at the stand and landscape level so that another species can fill the vacated niche of species that disappears. D’Amato • Build structural complexity: Promote age class diversity; at least 2 age classes. Increase reliance on uneven-aged management. • Build compositional complexity: Use new species mixes. Increase species redundancy by introducing species over a wide range of environments.
• Trees and their forest communities have survived large-scale tree migration events in the past and changes in the location of the prairie/ forest border. • I believe that new forest communities will emerge along with new disturbance regimes that will maintain them.
