63. Best management tool for early successional habitat: CONSERVE IT WHEN AND WHERE NATURE CREATES IT
64.
65.
66. Naturally-regenerated ESFCs are likely to be more resilient under climate change due to - greater species diversity - tree genotypes selected by nature (i.e., environmental stresses)
77. Where management goals are primarily oriented toward characteristic biodiversity and ecological processes,“hurrying” ecosystem development through the pre-canopy closure stage is not appropriate
78.
79. Salvage logging never contributes directly to ecological recovery Salvage logging is always a tax on ecological recovery; the tax may be large or small
85. Principle 3: Conservation of biological legacies is critical for postfire reestablishment of characteristic levels of ecosystem processes & biodiversity
86.
87. Principle 5: Whatever activities are undertaken – seek to avoid causing additional harm and to enhance natural recovery processes!

92. Timber salvage rarely, if ever, contributes directly to ecological recovery, including native biodiversity
93. Salvage is always a tax on ecological recovery! The tax may be large or small depending upon the salvage operation.
94.
95. The early post-disturbance period of forest ecosystem development - pre-tree-canopy closure – is profoundly important!
100. Where management goals are directed to sustaining ecosystem services and biodiversity, most postdisturbance “restoration” activities are inappropriate
101. MAJOR EXCEPTION: Human intercession may contribute ecologically where the disturbances are unique (uncharacteristic) in either intensity or frequency or invasive species are involved
