A Dynamic Forest Restoration Blocks (DFRB) is a biologically meaningful landscape-scale forest management unit ranging in size between 2,500-27,000 acres wherein management is guided by 15-year Forest Management Plans designed to balance age classes, address threats, and improve forest structure. In general, the long-term goal of any given DFRB is to achieve and perpetuate a stand age class distribution of 15% early succession forest (<20yrs); 35-50% mixed age forests (21-125), and 35-50% late successional forest (>125 yrs). Effects of dynamic forest management on vegetation and wildlife communities is measured through a robust monitoring design. All DFRB are located in Pennsylvania.<\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/DIV>", "summary": "Dynamic Forest Restoration Blocks in Pennsylvania", "title": "Dynamic Forest Restoration Blocks", "tags": [ "Dynamic Forest Restoration Blocks" ], "type": "", "typeKeywords": [], "thumbnail": "", "url": "", "minScale": 150000000, "maxScale": 5000, "spatialReference": "", "accessInformation": "Indiana University of Pennsylvania\nAmerican Bird Conservancy\nRuffed Grouse Society\nSustainable Forest Initiative", "licenseInfo": "", "portalUrl": "" }
