▪ Abstract Natural ecological disturbance creates habitats that are used by diverse groups of
birds. In North America, these habitats or ecosystems include grasslands or prairies …

Le modèle LANDIS simule des dynamiques écologiques telles que les successions
forestières, la dispersion et l'établissement des semences, les perturbations causées par le …

This paper provides contextual documentation of the LANDIS model development to provide
a framework for the other papers in this special issue. The LANDIS model of forest …

Methods for habitat modeling based on landscape simulations and population viability
modeling based on habitat quality are well developed, but no published study of which we …

The lack of management experience at the landscape scale and the limited feasibility of
experiments at this scale have increased the use of scenario modeling to analyze the effects …

Our motivation for assembling this book came from the escalating debate in both scientific
forums and the public media about the need to emulate natural disturbance in forest …

There is significant concern about the status of some early successional wildlife because of
recent declines in populations and amount of habitat in the eastern USA. We review types of …

We examined tree species responses under forest harvesting and an increased fire
disturbance scenario due to climate warming in northern Wisconsin where northern …

The low timber returns of Mediterranean forests, together with their high fire risk, has led to
negligent forest management. Absence of management has in turn been blamed for …
