Woody species diversity in forest plantations in a mountainous region of Beijing, China: effects of sampling scale and species selection. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
The role of forest plantations in biodiversity conservation has gained more attention in recent years. However, most work on evaluating the diversity of forest plantations focuses only on one spatial scale; thus, we examined the effects of sampling scale

Criminal liability for illegal destruction of forest plantations [PDF]

open access: yesBIO Web of Conferences
Russia’s forests, occupying one-fifth of the world’s forest area and being one of the renewable natural resources, meet multiple needs of the economy and society for forest resources, performing the most important environmental, protective and other ...

Plantation forests and biodiversity conservation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
There are five key reasons why biodiversity conservation should be considered a part of plantation management. (1) The plantation estate is large, and balancing various land management values with wood and pulp production is important when extensive ...

Effects of eucalyptus plantations on avian and herb species richness and composition in North-West Spain

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation, 2019
Eucalyptus plantations have been established in many areas of the world due to their fast growth and profitability. In NW Spain, Eucalyptus plantations now cover a larger area than native forests. Although Eucalyptus plantations have been shown to affect

Disruptant Effects of 4-Allylanisole and Verbenone on \u3ci\u3eTomicus Piniperda\u3c/i\u3e (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) Response to Baited Traps and Logs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We assessed the inhibitory effects of the host compound 4-allylanisole (release rates = 1 and 2 mg/d in 1994, and 1 and 10 mg/d in 2001) on the response of the pine shoot beetle, Tomicus piniperda (L.), adults to funnel traps baited with the attractant ...

Associations between canopy openness, butterfly resources, butterfly richness and abundance along forest trails in planted and natural forests

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2017
Increasing the biodiversity in plantations of trees is an important issue because plantations have replaced many natural and semi-natural ecosystems worldwide.

Variations in habitat metrics along plantation chronosequences: contrasting tree plantations in subtropical forest and grassland

open access: yesMetsanduslikud Uurimused, 2022
The increasing demand for raw materials favours habitat conversion into tree plantations in different biomes over the world. In Argentina, fast-growing plantations occur in physiognomically contrasting biomes, such as the subtropical forest and grassland.

The critical role of natural forest as refugium for generalist species in oil palm-dominated landscapes.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
In Borneo, oil palm plantations have replaced much of natural resources, where generalist species tend to be the principal beneficiaries, due to the abundant food provided by oil palm plantations.

Effect of Land Use History on Biodiversity of Pine Plantations

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
The growing replacement of native vegetation by forest plantations is considered a global threat to biodiversity. Significant variation in biotic communities among stands with similar management suggests that previous land use might have an effect on the

Forest remnants enhance wild pollinator visits to cashew flowers and mitigate pollination deficit in NE Brazil

open access: yesJournal of Pollination Ecology, 2014
Pollination deficit could cause low yields in cashew (Anacardium occidentale) and it is possible that deforestation surrounding cashew plantations may prevent effective pollinators from visiting cashew flowers and contribute to this deficit.
