Abstract In the United States, intensively managed forests (IMFs) comprise approximately
9%(27.9 million ha) of total forest area. These forests are primarily in highly productive areas …

Forest management affects conditions for both early‐and late‐seral organisms, and
managers and conservationists require information for balancing the ostensibly opposing …

As a result of changes in natural and anthropogenic disturbance regimes, the extent of early-
successional forest across much of eastern North American is near historic lows, and …

This revision of the 1987 silvicultural guide includes updated and expanded silvicultural
information on northern hardwoods as well as additional information on wildlife habitat and …

Background The global decrease in wildlife populations, especially birds, is mainly due to
land use change and increasing intensity of land use (Parmesan and Yohe 2003). However …

Abstract Context Forests throughout eastern North America continue to recover from broad-
scale intensive land use that peaked in the nineteenth century. These forests provide …

The emergence of continental to global scale biodiversity data has led to growing
understanding of patterns in species distributions, and the determinants of these …

For most bird species, little is known about their ecology and survival between fledging and
independence despite the potential for post-fledging survival to be a factor limiting …

A campaign is underway to clear established forests and expand early-successional
habitats—also called young forest, pre-forest, early seral, or open habitats—with the …

Despite the growing popularity of using single species as surrogates for biodiversity,
conservation interventions for a single taxon do not always benefit other species within the …
