Ecosphere, 2021 Old‐growth forests are optimal habitats for many woodpeckers, which are often themselves excellent indicators of deadwood‐associated biodiversity. Old‐growth forests are, however, heterogeneous ecosystems in terms of structure, composition, and deadwood ...

Effects of forest management on native bee biodiversity under the tallest trees in the world
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 It is not clear if mature secondary growth coniferous forests can support similar pollinator communities as old growth coniferous forests, or how active management (e.g., retention forestry) in mature secondary growth forests may affect pollinator ...

An index for tracking old-growth value in disturbance-prone forest landscapes
Ecological Indicators, 2021 Forests in their later stages of development attain attributes that support biodiversity and provide a variety of ecological benefits (e.g. clean water and carbon storage).

Diversity, 2022 In the old pine stands of national parks, it is possible to observe genetic processes in a state free from disturbance by humans. Studies of this type make it possible to evaluate the effectiveness of the conservation of genetic variation and its ...

Habitat selection of an old‐growth forest specialist in managed forests [PDF]
Animal Conservation, 2020 AbstractOld‐growth forest specialists are among the species most affected by commercial forestry. However, it is often unclear whether such species can persist and what their habitat needs are in managed forests. We investigated habitat selection of one such old‐growth forest specialist, the white‐backed woodpeckerDendrocopos leucotos, a species highly

Remote Sensing, 2023 Old-growth forests provide many ecosystem services and benefits. However, they are becoming increasingly rare and thus are an urgent priority for conservation. Accurately mapping old-growth forests is a critical step in this process. Here, we used LiDAR,

Defining Old Growth for Fire-adapted Forests of the Western United States
Ecology and Society, 2007 There are varying definitions of old-growth forests because of differences in environment and differing fire influence across the Intermountain West. Two general types of forests reflect the role of fire: 1) forests shaped by natural changes in structure

Forest@, 2023 Old-growth forests have a primary environmental and ecological value, as they closely recall primeval forests and the natural forest landscape that was spread throughout Italy and Europe before man intervention heavily altered the functioning of most ...

Old-growth forest carbon sinks overestimated
Nature, 2021 Luyssaert et al.1 reported that unmanaged, old-growth forests continue to sequester atmospheric carbon (C) at a rate of 2.4 ± 0.8 Mg C ha–1 yr–1 for stand ages exceeding 200 years. This claim was based on an analysis of net ecosystem productivity (NEP) and other C flux data from temperate or boreal forest plots compiled from published studies and ...
