Evidence from a landscape population model of the importance of early successional habitat to the American redstart
Article Abstract:
The American Redstart populations in northeastern North America are declining. To research whether these declines are as a result of forest maturation and loss of early habitats that are preferred by Redstarts, data on historical forest changes were used. Three regions indicated the abundance of redstarts as positively correlated with the amount of early successional habitat. Two others positively correlated with total forest area, which indicate that Redstart population declines are as a result of losses in early successional habitats. .

Landscape assessment of the degree of protection of Alaska's terrestrial biodiversity
Article Abstract:
In many areas of Alaska, less than 12% of the area has been set aside for the protection of rare plant species. Most of the state has not been affected by human activity, but efforts must be made to protect the state's biodiversity.
