Logging slash on the floor of a harvested forest is burned in a high-intensity regeneration fire. The island retained within the logging coupe (top center) is unfortunately burned and all retained trees killed so they cannot grow to become large old trees as is the intention of such retention. Notably, the third image (top right) in this sequence shows the regeneration fire burning under the retained trees at the top of the logging coupe; the fire subsequently escaped the boundaries of the logging coupe and burned into the adjacent water catchment forest (after Lindenmayer et al. 2015a)
