Briefly examines some of the potential landscape-scale effects of dispersed clearcutting patterns; suggests that alternatives such as aggregated cutting patterns may reduce negative impacts to sensitive components of forest ecosystems; point to the need to keep management options open until comprehensive landscape management guidelines can be developed. A planning study carried out in 1989 indicates aggregated cutting can be implemented under current standards and guidelines, retaining large blocks of interior habitat for several decades without reducing harvest levels. Includes a question-and-answer session to address commonly-held concerns.
