Specialist carabids in mixed montane forests are positively associated with biodiversity-oriented forestry and abundance of roe deer

Global Ecology and Conservation
The ongoing transition within forest management towards more biodiversity-oriented practices, such as close-to-nature forestry and retention forestry, may benefit forest fauna such as forest-specialized ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae). However, it

Forest Fires: Silvicultural Prevention and Mathematical Models for Predicting Fire Propagation in Southern Italy

Fire
In the Mediterranean basin, coniferous reforestation mainly comprises forest stands highly susceptible to fires. When silvicultural treatments have not been performed for decades after plantation, these stands often exhibit high vertical and horizontal ...

Forest structural heterogeneity positively affects bird richness and acoustic diversity in a temperate, central European forest

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
IntroductionForests managed for timber production can also be managed for biodiversity conservation by retaining structures typical of old-growth forests, which provide heterogenous structures for forest-dwelling species, including birds.
