Biodiversity and habitat face increasing pressures due to human and natural influences that
alter vegetation structure. Because of the inherent difficulty of measuring forested vegetation …

Abstract In the United States, intensively managed forests (IMFs) comprise approximately
9%(27.9 million ha) of total forest area. These forests are primarily in highly productive areas …

Demand for alternative energy sources has led to increased interest in intensive biomass
production. When applied across a broad spatial extent, intensive biomass production in …

Automated recorders and occupancy models can be used together to monitor population
trends of multiple avian species across a large geographic region. Automated recorders are …

Management efforts to promote forest resiliency as climate changes have often used
historical forest structure and composition to provide general guidance for fuels reduction …

Most data on the effects of partial‐harvest silviculture (where live trees are purposely
retained at the time of harvest) on birds come from one or a few discrete harvesting …

Mixed conifer forests of western North America are challenging for fire management, as
historical fire regimes were highly variable in severity, timing, and spatial extent. Complex …

Understanding the causes underlying changes in species diversity is a fundamental pursuit
of ecology. Animal species richness and composition often change with decreased forest …

Advancement in timing of important life history events for birds due to climate change
presents conservation and monitoring challenges. Song and other vocal activity are strong …

Habitat loss is a potential long-term effect of projected climate change for Mediterranean
forest ecosystems. Here, we investigated the effectiveness of a close-to-nature silvicultural …
