The European biodiversity and forest strategies rely on forest sustainable management
(SFM) to conserve forest biodiversity. However, current sustainability assessments hardly …

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 …

Key message Authors have analyzed the possible correlation between measurements/
indicators of forest structure and species richness of many taxonomic or functional groups …

Forest canopies maintain a high proportion of arthropod diversity. The drivers that structure
these communities, however, are poorly understood. Therefore, integrative research …

Managing forests to sustain their diversity and functioning is a major challenge in a
changing world. Despite the key role of understory vegetation in driving forest biodiversity …

Forest management has a major impact on the understorey vegetation, with the intensity and
type of the applied silvicultural treatments driving variable vegetation responses. We …

Urban biodiversity faces threats from habitat loss, landscape fragmentation, and human
disturbances. Ecological networks (ENs) can enhance habitat connectivity and bolster …

The global decline of biodiversity has affected European forests, involving many tree
species and forest-dwelling threatened animals. An integrated approach linking forest …

Most European forests are used for timber production. Given the limited extent of
unmanaged (and especially primary) forests, it is essential to include commercial forests in …

Forest biodiversity studies conducted across Europe use a multitude of forestry terms, often
inconsistently. This hinders the comparability across studies and makes the assessment of …
