Demographic Responses by Birds to Forest Fragmentation

Article Abstract:

Fecundity, survival, nesting success, and dispersal data were gathered on bird populations separated into subgroups based on nest site, region, migration strategy, and biogeographical history, to determine the effects of forest fragmentation. The negative effects of forest fragmentation on bird populations are not generally associated with diminished food resources; more study on bird population dynamics is recommended.

Long-term effects of forestry on birds of the Eastern Canadian Boreal forests: Acomparison with Fennoscandia

Article Abstract:

A comparison between Fennoscandia and eastern Canada shows the resemblances between forest-age structure, natural-disturbance regime and structure of bird assemblages. The striking resemblances between the two regions, the northern expansion of commercial forestry is likely to result in the significant decline of resident species as it happened in Fennoscandia.

Cost-Efficiency of Decaying Wood as a Surrogate for Overall Species Richness in Boreal Forests

Article Abstract:

Populations of vascular plants, wood-inhabiting fungi, beetles, and birds were studied to determine the impact of the quality and amount of decaying wood on species representation in Finland's boreal forests. Findings show that decaying wood is a cost-efficient indicator in the conservation site selection process.
