This publication is a compendium of summaries of presentations from a symposium that discussed the concepts, challenges, and potential consequences of implementing emulation of natural forest landscape disturbances at the landscape level in forest management. The first set of presentations covers such topics as predicting natural forest disturbances, predicting fire regimes and forest insect disturbance regimes, silvicultural concepts, the ecological basis for emulation, boreal forest management, and the economics of emulation forestry. The second set presents case studies from across northern & central North America to illustrate some practical applications of the concepts behind emulation of natural forest landscape disturbances.
