A review of the long-term effects of post-harvest silviculture on vertebrate wildlife, and predictive models, with an emphasis on boreal forests in Ontario, Canada (2003, background): “The importance of maintaining old forests for certain bird species has also been well documented in many other North American studies (e.g. Ruggiero et al., 1991; Brawn et al., 2001).”
Recent advances in understanding migration systems of New World land birds (2010, background): “…good, particularly when it is recognized that most habitats are dynamic because of the effects of disturbance (e.g., fire, wind, flooding, logging) and succession, and because many species are dependent on some form of disturbance to create habitat (Brawn et al. 2001, Thompson and DeGraaf 2001).”
Colonization of dynamic Mediterranean landscapes: where do birds come from after fire? (2005, background): “Natural disturbances play a fundamental role in maintaining the heterogeneity of environmental conditions that organisms experience through space, time or both (Pickett et al., 1989; Brawn et al., 2001).”
Short-term response of reptiles and amphibians to prescribed fire and mechanical fuel reduction in a southern Appalachian upland hardwood forest (2008, background): “, 2003), and for ecosystem restoration, oak regeneration, understory control, and wildlife conservation (Brawn et al., 2001).”
Synthesis of the conservation value of the early-successional stage in forests of eastern North America (2014, background): “…to future disturbance by fire through the process of ‘‘mesophycation’’, whereby fire suppression encourages the dominance of fire-intolerant species that in turn reduce the flammability of the system and thus its susceptibility to future disturbance (Brose et al. 2001; Nowacki and Abrams, 2008).”
