Cavity characteristics, but not habitat, influence nest survival of cavity-nesting birds along a gradient of human impact in the subtropical Atlantic Forest (2015, background): “Large old trees support not only cavity-nesters but also a great diversity of other organisms, yet they are disproportionately threatened in human-altered landscapes and are declining globally (Lindenmayer et al., 2012, 2014).”
Declining old‐forest species as a legacy of large trees lost (2018, background): “Here, we offer insight into this elusive question by applying the concept of extinction debt and provide an unprecedented case study about the potential ecological legacies of large tree loss on increasingly rare global old- forest species and ecosystems (Lindenmayer et al., 2012, 2014).”
Global importance of large‐diameter trees (2018, background): “Policies to conserve the tree species whose individuals can develop into large, old trees (Lindenmayer et al., 2014) could promote retention of aboveground biomass globally as well as maintenance of other ecosystem functions.”
Deadwood enrichment in European forests – Which tree species should be used to promote saproxylic beetle diversity? (2016, neutral): “This holds particularly true if management has been very intensive (Bauhus et al., 2009; Lindenmayer et al., 2012).”
Hydraulic failure and repair are not routine in trees (2013, background): “…in a context of global warming (Ciais et al. 2005); (2) improving the forecasting of global droughtinduced forest dieback (Allen et al. 2010; Lindenmayer et al. 2012) and species distribution shifts under climate change (Thuiller et al. 2005), by improving the representation of drought…”
