Abstract
The analysis of biodiversity in forest systems, and in particular of its interactions with management, must consider processes that cross multiple time and spatial scales. Natural disturbance factors in forest systems occur across a wide variety of micro-meso scales that determine the spatial and temporal context of the different processes. Silviculture and management affect biodiversity in many different and interrelated ways that are often difficult to quantify.
