Multifunctional forest ecosystem management and its importance for biodiversity (essay)
2010
Schütz, J.-Ph., Pro Silva Europe, Zuerich (Switzerland) | deTurckheim, B.
The basic principle of Pro Silva silviculture is to be multifunctional and to seek to combine into a harmonious whole all the benefits provided by the forest. It is thus a management system constantly adapted to follow the evolution of different needs and requirements. On the occasion of the International Year of Biodiversity, it is here explained why this form of management meets in an optimal manner the interests of biodiversity without however pushing into the background the other functions, in particular carbon management. Intrinsically it corresponds to the principles of sustainable management, maintaining the balance between economic, social and ecological interests.
