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 …

As a result of changes in natural and anthropogenic disturbance regimes, the extent of early-

Several species-specific habitat management guidelines have been created over the past
decade to help recover declining populations of forest birds in eastern North America …

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 …

Abstract Changes in forest structure that result from silviculture, including timber harvest, can
positively or negatively affect bird species that use forests. Because many bird species …

Postfledging habitat use and fledgling survival remain unstudied for most songbirds, but this

We compared forest structure and breeding bird communities between shelterwood harvests
(SW; n= 15) and mature upland hardwood forests (M; n= 16) over 17 years (Y). Both were …

In 2016, mixed-severity wildfires in the southern Appalachians created a gradient of forest
