Variable Retention
Variable Retention : An approach to forest planning and forest harvesting in which structural elements of the existing forest are retained throughout a harvested area until at least the next rotation to achieve specific management objectives. Varying amounts, types, and spatial patterns of living and dead trees are retained. Variable retention uses all silvicultural systems, from single tree selection to clearcutting, including the retention silvicultural system, to achieve variable retention over a landscape
