Biodiversity response to intensive biomass production from forest thinning in North American forests – A meta-analysis (2011, background): “Thinning that changes the ommunity composition and structure of understory vegetation an increase diversity and abundance of some insect groups in the hort term (Taki et al., 2010).”
Growing Plantation Forests (2010, background): “Thinning may also be used to provide other benefits, such as enhancing biodiversity through opening the canopy to allow a wider variety of plants and animals to occupy the site (Taki et al. 2010).”
Conserving Pollinators in North American Forests: A Review (2016, background): “In Japan, Taki et al. (2010) found thinning to result in higher numbers of both bees and butterflies in Cryptomeria plantations.”
Have changing forests conditions contributed to pollinator decline in the southeastern United States (2015, background): “What effect this gradual shift from deforested or lower density forests to dense, closed canopy forests has had on pollinators is unknown but recent studies indicate that forest openings, and forests with open canopies and reduced shrub cover favor pollinators (e.g., Fye, 1972; Rudolph and Ely, 2000”
Forest biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and the provision of ecosystem services (2017, background): “For example, thinning trees may enhance the diversity and abundance of pollinators in planted forests (Taki et al. 2010).”
