Deadwood enrichment in European forests – Which tree species should be used to promote saproxylic beetle diversity? (2016, neutral): “As a consequence, animal communities in managed forests may differ from those of unmanaged forests (Bengtsson et al., 2000; Lassauce et al., 2012).”
Drivers of forest harvesting intensity patterns in Europe (2014, background): “Pine and spruce can be interpreted as plantation species as well since they replaced broadleaved forests as Europe’s natural forest type due to afforestation practices in the past (Bengtsson et al., 2000).”
Genetic effects of forest management practices: Global synthesis and perspectives (2014, background): “Thus, forest functions are rarely segregated in Europe and most forests are managed to meet both production and conservation goals (Bengtsson et al., 2000).”
The effects of edge-interior and understorey-canopy gradients on the distribution of saproxylic beetles in a temperate lowland forest (2013, background): “Restoration of natural disturbance regime or active management increasing habitat diversity is thus needed to prevent further decline in biodiversity of European forests (Bengtsson et al., 2000).”
Susceptibility to Fungal Pathogens of Forests Differing in Tree Diversity (2005, background): “biotic and abiotic environmental conditions change over time (Yachi and Loreau 1999; Bengtsson et al. 2000; McCann 2002; Mitchell et al. 2002).”
Trajectory-based change detection for automated characterization of forest disturbance dynamics (2007, background): “Land management in forests can also affect biodiversity, hydrology, and economics (Bengtsson et al., 2000; Brown et al., 2005; Drever et al., 2006; Gottschalk et al., 2005; Jules et al., 1999; Kline et al., 2004; Miller et al., 2003; Moore & Wondzell, 2005; Sallabanks et al., 2000; Stephens et al.,…”
Landscape context affects the success of habitat restoration: large‐scale colonization patterns of saproxylic and fire‐associated species in boreal forests (2012, background): “Natural forest disturbances can be used to guide the development of biodiversity-oriented silvicultural practices in managed forests (Attiwill, 1994; Kouki, 1994; Bengtsson et al., 2000), but in protected areas more intensive restoration actions may be necessary to achieve conservation goals.”
Which factors influence the occurrence and density of tree microhabitats in Mediterranean oak forests (2013, background): “Yet, better understanding of the factors that allow the development of microhabitats in managed forests is of strong interest for managers and decision-makers, especially in Europe, where most forests are subject to silvicultural treatments (Bengtsson et al., 2000; Vanbergen et al., 2005).”
Asymmetrical responses of forest and “beyond edge” arthropod communities across a forest–grassland ecotone (2014, neutral): “These species were gradually replaced with their domesticated descendants (Bengtsson et al. 2000; Vera 2000; Sutherland 2002).”
Short-term response of ground beetles (Coleoptera:Carabidae) to fire and logging in a spruce-dominated boreal landscape (2005, background): “, 2001), but is now being supplemented by logging over most of the biome’s extant (Bengtsson et al., 2000; Bergeron et al., 2002).”
Effects of land management on the abundance and richness of spiders (Araneae): A meta-analysis (2011, background): “First, deforestation, forest management, logging and fire implies a substantial loss of biodiversity (Bawa and Seidler, 1998; Bengtsson et al., 2000; Brook et al., 2003; Donald, 2004; Moretti et al., 2004; Niemelä, 1999; Sodhi et al., 2009).”
