• The effect of light conditions on herbs, bryophytes and seedlings of temperate mixed forests in Őrség, Western Hungary (2009, unknown): “The indicator values are very useful for the description of ecological changes in monitoring studies (Grandin 2004, Samonil and Vrska 2008), for ecological comparison of floristically different areas (Roo-Zielinska 2003) or different management regimes (Dzwonko 2001, Decocq et al. 2004).”
• Does a minimal intervention approach threaten the biodiversity of protected areas? A multi-taxa short-term response to intervention in temperate oak-dominated forests (2015, background): “The groups that responded positively to the intervention were generally thermophilous, and thus prefer more open, sunny habi- tats (Benes et al., 2006; Decocq et al., 2004; Fartmann et al., 2013; Hédl et al., 2010; Horak et al., 2014; Kopecký et al., 2013; RamírezHernández et al., 2014; Vodka and…”
• Herb layer species as indicators of biodiversity of managed and unmanaged beech forests (2005, background): “Finally, species diversity will be higher in intermediate disturbance ecosystems than in undisturbed forests (CONNELL 1978, DECOCQ et al. 2004).”
• Disentangling relationships between habitat conditions, disturbance history, plant diversity, and American black cherry (Prunus serotina Ehrh.) invasion in a European temperate forest (2007, background): “Such ‘chronic’ disturbances are part of the history of managed ecosystems and as such, should be better regarded as a permanent constraint on plant communities rather than an external disturbance (Briske et al., 2003; Decocq et al., 2004).”
• Does closure of traditionally managed open woodlands threaten epigeic invertebrates? Effects of coppicing and high deer densities (2008, background): “Decocq et al. (2004) reached a similar conclusion for forest ground herbs.”
• The impact of even‐aged and uneven‐aged forest management on regional biodiversity of multiple taxa in European beech forests (2018, background): “At the landscape scale, however, such pattern is rather uniform (Hobi et al., 2015) and results in a homogenisation of stand structures and a decrease in regional biodiversity (Beese & Bryant, 1999; Decocq et al., 2004; Werner & Raffa, 2000).”
• Intensive game keeping, coppicing and butterflies: The story of Milovicky Wood, Czech Republic (2006, background): “For instance, butterfly richness increased with richness of ground vegetation, which increases in coppiced stands (Decocq et al., 2004), but decreases under too high density of game (Chytry and Danihelka, 1993; Cooke and Farrell, 2001).”
• Assessing the Ecological Impacts of Bioenergy Projects (2008, background): “Willow and poplar coppice for bioenergy can be beneficial for these species, but only if the new rotations are in phase with the dispersal, life cycle and dormancy patterns of the species involved [10].”
