Green-tree retention cutting (GTR) is a modification of traditional clear-cutting, aimed at
better consideration of biodiversity. We reviewed 214 North American and European studies …

Forest management determines to a large degree the three‐dimensional arrangement of the
vegetation in production forest systems and hence has an essential influence on habitat …

Demand for alternative energy sources has led to increased interest in intensive biomass
production. When applied across a broad spatial extent, intensive biomass production in …

Forest edges often have increased species richness and abundance (edge effect) and affect
spatial behaviors of species and dynamics of species interactions. Landscapes of …

While studies have found that bat abundance is positively related to the amount of forest
cover in a landscape, the effects of forest fragmentation (breaking apart of forest …

We actively sampled the bat community at 63 sites using detection and non-detection
metrics on the Fernow Experimental Forest (FEF) in the central Appalachians of West …

Summary 1 The impact of habitat disturbance on biodiversity conservation and animal
health is poorly understood. Selective logging results in a suite of alterations that may …

In habitats where prey is either rare or difficult to predict spatiotemporally, such as open
habitats, predators must be adapted to react effectively to variations in prey abundance …

Detailed information about three-dimensional vegetation structure proves increasingly
useful for studying species-habitat relationships in forest ecosystems. This particularly …
