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

Stand structure attributes in potential Old-Growth Forests in the Apennines, Italy [PDF]
, 2011 The aim of this paper is to provide early feedback on stand structure attributes in Italian Apennines forests that could be considered Old Growth Forests in the Mediterranean Eco-Region. Few data are nowadays available relating to this Region.

The roles of plant pathogens in old-growth forests
Bucovina Forestieră, 2022 Old-growth forests are considered a benchmark for naturalness and models to which one compares managed forests, comparison leading to debates around biodiversity and its conservation, structure and dynamics, polarizing conservationists and forest ...

Living and Dead Aboveground Biomass in Mediterranean Forests: Evidence of Old-Growth Traits in a Quercus pubescens Willd. s.l. Stand [PDF]
, 2017 For a long time, human impact has deeply simplified most of the forest ecosystems of the Mediterranean Basin. Here, forests have seldom had the chance to naturally develop a complex and multilayered structure, to host large and old trees and rich ...

In Site Soil Seed-Banks: Size, Composition and Persistence across Tropical Successional Stages
Plants, 2023 I investigated the size, composition and persistence of the seed-bank in primary forests, secondary forests and old-fields in southern Mexico. I also assessed the contribution of the seed-bank to regeneration relative to other propagule sources.

Land snail diversity can reflect degrees of anthropogenic disturbance [PDF]
, 2013 Faunal indicators of old-growth forests in heavily-disturbed regions are virtually non-existent. However, land snails, in particular micro-snails, could reflect the impact of land-use on ecosystem integrity.

Old growth Afrotropical forests critical for maintaining forest carbon [PDF]
Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2020 AbstractAimLarge trees [≥ 70 cm diameter at breast height (DBH)] contribute disproportionately to aboveground carbon stock (AGC) across the tropics but may be vulnerable to changing climate and human activities. Here we determine the distribution, drivers and threats to large trees and high carbon forest.LocationCentral Africa.Time periodCurrent.Major ...

The role of old-growth forests in frequent-fire landscapes [PDF]
, 2007 Classic ecological concepts and forestry language regarding old growth are not well suited to frequent-fire landscapes. In frequent-fire, old-growth landscapes, there is a symbiotic relationship between the trees, the understory graminoids, and fire that
