Playing possum

Article Abstract:

The study on possums, glider ecology and their behavior in the Mountain Ash forests shows important differences in the habitat requirements of each species of possum and glider. In order to retain suitable habitat for most species of possums and gliders and to log forest, new and more ecologically appropriate harvesting methods need to be developed.

A case for messy forests: while a cleansed and homogenised forest might appeal to some humans, it can be an ecological disaster for many forest species

Article Abstract:

The use of the waste wood left after logging to fuel biomass energy or to make charcoal is destroying the forest habit for several species who live in or on the decaying wood.
