Population declines of many avian species are often attributed to increased rates of nest
predation in fragmented landscapes, yet mechanisms underlying these effects have rarely …

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

Forest harvest operations often produce large amounts of harvest residue which typically
becomes fine (foliage, small limbs and trees) and coarse woody debris (snags and downed …

Dead wood such as stumps and logs found on the forest floor is a key structural element that
is used by a broad spectrum of organisms and contributes to soil nutrient cycling. The …

Many studies have compared songbird nesting success between forest edge and interior,
but few have addressed potential factors underlying variation in nest predation pressure in …

Although dead wood and decaying trees have historically had little commercial value, their
ecological value is immense. This report reviews the scientific literature to provide the …

The only previous national examination of firewood use, completed in 1988 (FTSUT 1989),
provided extensive new information on household use of firewood for cities in southeastern …

Sampling of populations of small mammals has traditionally focused on use of live traps,
which are often costly and labor intensive. We tested track tubes as an alternative technique …

Because riparian forest strips are perceived to buffer aquatic ecosystems from logging-
related disturbance, they are usually not harvested. However, their value as refuges for …

Recientemente algunos estudios de la fragmentación de bosques han probado hipótesis
mecanísticas sobre el efecto del borde en procesos ecológicos tales como las interacciones …
