Fig 6. Distributions of management regimes.

The distributions of management regimes that maximize the two objectives (‘Income’ and ‘Deadwood’) or provide the optimal outcomes at harvest income requirements of 90% and 50% when management regime allocation is optimized at different spatial scales (‘Small hold.’ for the ‘small holding’ scale and ‘Large hold.’ for the ‘large holding’ scale). For visual clarity, the 16 modified versions of ‘business-as-usual’ management (see Methods) have been grouped into 4 categories based on their defining features (extended rotation time, green tree retention, thinnings before final felling, or no thinnings). The abbreviations in the legend refer to: BAU—business-as-usual; BAU ext—business-as-usual with extended rotation time; BAU w GTR—business-as-usual with green tree retention; BAU w thin—business-as-usual with thinning before final felling; BAU wo thin—business-as-usual without thinnings; CCF—continuous cover forestry; and SA—set-aside.
