The sustainable management of forests required a clear understanding of the cumulative effects of anthropocentric and natural disturbance over large spatial scales and long time hoizons. In the Northern Forest, timber harvesting is the primary disturbance agent, but insect outbreaks can also be an additional, critical agent of disturbance that influences and can also interact with forest management.
