The effects of forest management on species richness and diversity have become important
research interests. The need to maintain biodiversity for forest ecosystem functioning has led …

Temperate forests have been fundamentally altered by land use and other stressors
globally; these have reduced the abundance of primary and old-growth forests in particular …

Aim We investigated the consistency between richness and trait-based diversity metrics in
capturing the effects of management-related habitat factors on biodiversity. The choice of …

Background The importance of structurally diverse forests for the conservation of biodiversity
and provision of a wide range of ecosystem services has been widely recognised. However …

The use of 3D point cloud-based technology for quantifying standing wood and stand
parameters can play a key role in forestry ecological benefit assessment and standing tree …

The relationships between structural complexity, deadwood abundance, microhabitat type
and species-diversity indicators are excellent tools to monitor biodiversity in forest …

Integrative management strategies that simultaneously aim for wood production and
biodiversity conservation are considered crucial to protect biodiversity of forest species …

The most commonly used old‐growth forest indicators are structural attributes; nevertheless,
they do not necessarily represent the biodiversity value of old‐growth forests. The aim of this …

The frequent occurrence of very large trees (diameter at breast height DBH≥ 80 cm) is a
typical element of both primary and secondary old-growth forests. We analyzed the …

Deadwood is a fundamental forest habitat component and highly important for biodiversity
conservation. Its availability, composition, size, categories and distribution depend on …
