The document discusses trends in early-seral forest landscapes in coastal Oregon and central Oregon Cascades regions. It finds that while there is more early-seral forest area than historical levels, the character has changed due to different disturbance patterns and forest management practices across ownerships. Specifically, early-seral forests now have fewer legacy trees of lesser quality, shorter residence times, and changes in patch sizes and shapes. If current policies continue, diverse young forest habitat will continue to decline. Effective conservation requires considering all ownerships beyond just reserves, as much early-seral forest exists on non-federal lands. Small shifts in policies could make a difference, and new tools may help inform management decisions across landscapes.
