The ghosts of ecosystem engineers: Legacy effects of biogenic modifications
Ecosystem engineers strongly influence the communities in which they live by modifying
habitats and altering resource availability. These biogenic changes can persist beyond the …

Decaying trees improve nesting opportunities for cavity‐nesting birds in temperate and boreal forests: A meta‐analysis and implications for retention forestry
Many studies have dealt with the habitat requirements of cavity‐nesting birds, but there is no
meta‐analysis on the subject and individual study results remain vague or contradictory. We …

[HTML][HTML] Long-term trends in forest bird populations reflect management changes in Central European forests
J Reif, AJ Skálová, Z Vermouzek, P Voříšek - Ecological Indicators, 2022 - Elsevier
In areas where forest is under long-term human influence, we can expect that forest bird
populations will be affected by changes in forest management. Consequences of such forest …

[HTML][HTML] Tree-related microhabitats and deadwood dynamics form a diverse and constantly changing mosaic of habitats in boreal old-growth forests
Tree-related microhabitats (TreM) and deadwood are two forest attributes providing
essential resources for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem services. Old-growth forests …

Success of a deadwood enrichment strategy in production forests depends on stand type and management intensity
The increasing demand for wood products increases the anthropogenic pressure on
biodiversity in forests. Thereby integrative nature conservation strategies, allowing for both …

Harvesting interacts with climate change to affect future habitat quality of a focal species in eastern Canada's boreal forest
Many studies project future bird ranges by relying on correlative species distribution models.
Such models do not usually represent important processes explicitly related to climate …
