Can plantations develop understory biological and physical attributes of naturally regenerated forests (2008, background): “Thinning generally promotes the development of the shrub and herb strata, and thus, has generally been perceived as a positive step for understory development (Parker et al., 2001; Thysell and Carey, 2001; Hartley, 2002).”
Plantations of exotic tree species in Britain: irrelevant for biodiversity or novel habitat for native species? (2010, result): “This lends support to the growing evidence of the biodiversity value of these emerging ecosystems ( Hartley 2002; Brockerhoff et al. 2008; Pawson et al. 2008).”
Mixed-species plantations: Prospects and challenges (2006, unknown): “…both against monocultures 129 (e.g., Baltodano 2000; but see Cannell 1999 and Bowyer 2001) and in favour of 130 polycultures (e.g., Ball et al 1995, Hartley 2002, Kerr 1999), but usually offer 131 environmental arguments, and the economic case, critical for commercial uptake of 132 polyculture…”
Drivers of forest harvesting intensity patterns in Europe (2014, background): “…species cover clearly reveals that intensive monoculture plantations constitute an important anthropogenic modification of forest ecosystems (Hartley, 2002) and that such intensively managed forests are concentrated in a few regions in Europe (e.g., in the Mediterranean countries, western…”
Biodiversity conservation in the era of biofuels: risks and opportunities (2011, unknown): “Hartley MJ. 2002.”
Increased forest biomass production in the Nordic and Baltic countries – a review on current and future opportunities (2016, background): “The influence can be both positive and negative depending on the factors studied and the prior conditions (e.g. Hartley 2002).”
Mechanisms underlying the interaction between Pinus halepensis and the native late‐successional shrub Pistacia lentiscus in a semi‐arid plantation (2004, background): “are often based on monocultures, a fact that has been widely debated (Hartley 2002).”
Avoiding bio‐perversity from carbon sequestration solutions (2012, background): “Risk assessment might indicate, for example, the value of using native rather than exotic tree species in plantation programs if native trees provide superior habitats for biodiversity (Hartley 2002; Gries et al. 2011), and managers could receive payments for providing such habitat.”
Can oil palm plantations become bird friendly? (2010, background): “The opportunity for setting aside new or enlarging existing protected areas—particularly in the tropics— is increasingly limited; beside the challenge to support current parks and reserves, a new quest is to achieve biodiversity conservation in productive landscapes (Hartley 2002).”
Understory succession in post-agricultural oak forests: Habitat fragmentation affects forest specialists and generalists differently (2011, background): “increased rotation length, dead wood and green tree retention) would be needed to improve the biodiversity value of plantation forests (Hartley, 2002; Brunet et al., 2010; Felton et al., 2010).”
Designing forest vegetation management strategies based on the mechanisms and dynamics of crop tree competition by neighbouring vegetation (2006, background): “Competition control treatments can enhance crop trees while maintaining a diverse fl ora when the most severe competitors are specifi cally targeted and non-competitive components are permitted to remain as cohorts ( Hartley, 2002 ).”
Aboveground interactions and productivity in mixed-species plantations of Acacia mearnsii and Eucalyptus globulus (2004, background): “Many problems currently attributed to plantations are associated with large-scale, industrial plantations established to supply a uniform resource such as fibre for pulp or sawlogs for milling (Hartley 2002).”
Susceptibility to Fungal Pathogens of Forests Differing in Tree Diversity (2005, background): “Homogeneous monospecific or monoclonal plantations are particularly susceptible to epidemics (Gibson and Jones 1977; Hood et al. 1991; Hartley 2002) because they lack tree diversity, but not all cases follow this relationship.”
Conflicts over industrial tree plantations in the South: Who, how and why? (2011, background): “Where they are established at the expense of native habitats, forests or otherwise, the net effect on biodiversity will generally be negative as ITPs provide less suitable habitat for flora and fauna than the ecosystems they replace (Hartley, 2002; see also Carnus et al., 2006, for some exceptions).”
