Abstract:
... Spatial structure dynamics play a major role in understanding the mechanisms of forest structure and biodiversity formation. Recently, researches on the spatial structure dynamics utilizing multi-period data have been published. However, these studies only focused on comparative analyses of the spatial structure of multi-period living trees, without an in-depth analysis of the change processes. In ...

Abstract:
... The reduction of deadwood due to forest management threatens saproxylic diversity. Therefore, deadwood needs to be preserved and enriched. While the importance of deadwood tree identity is well investigated, the value of different object types and microclimate for diversity is insufficiently understood. Conservation-oriented forest management, therefore, requires guidelines on how deadwood types u ...

... In the context of the global climate and biodiversity crises, forecasting the effectiveness of Protected Areas (PAs) and forest management to conserve biodiversity in the long-term is a high priority, especially in threatened environments. By combining distribution models and conservation planning protocols, we analyzed the effect of global climate and agriculture-linked activities in the long-ter ...

Abstract:
... Logged-over forests are widespread in SE Asia, and these forests vary greatly in tree-community composition ranging from a near pristine to a greatly modified forest due to repeated high-impact logging. It is a critical concern in terms of forest management and conservation whether modified forests can recover to their original states. However, greatly modified forests may lose the resilience due ...

Abstract:
... In the natural forests of the Amazon, it is common to find dead trees due to natural causes during forest management operations. Despite being in good condition and in large numbers, these trees are not harvested. In this study, the woody volume of dead trees (DBH ≥ 50 cm) in logging areas was quantified. Five Annual Production Units (APUs) were inventoried, four logged in different years (2002; 2 ...
