Contemporary forest restoration: A review emphasizing function (2014, background): “…Geldenhuys (2010) Degraded forest (lacking desired structure) Rehabilitation Transformation Partial overstory removals Buongiorno (2001), Mason (2002) and Humphrey (2005) Deforested, mined land, polluted land Reclamation Replacement Stabilize site; plant seedlings of natives or non-natives;…”
Plantations of exotic tree species in Britain: irrelevant for biodiversity or novel habitat for native species? (2010, background): “For example, spruce stands are susceptible to colonisation by shade-tolerant exotic conifer species which may offer less benefit to native species adapted to more open woodland conditions (Humphrey 2005).”
Non-native plantation forests as alternative habitat for native forest beetles in a heavily modified landscape (2008, background): “Contrary to such perceptions, research has shown that managed plantation forests can support a diverse array of native understorey plants (Allen et al. 1995; Geldenhuys 1997; Ogden et al. 1997; Brockerhoff et al. 2003), birds (Ryder 1948; Weeks 1949; Clout 1984; Clout and Gaze 1984), and invertebrat”
Arthropods as bioindicators of sustainable forest management, with a focus on plantation forests (2009, background): “The importance of biodiversity conservation has been recognized worldwide (Kerr, 1999; Bonn and Gaston, 2005; Humphrey, 2005), and the extinction of biodiversity elements can cause impoverished ecosystem functioning (Kremen, 2005; Larsen et al., 2005; Mertz et al., 2007).”
Identifying practical indicators of biodiversity for stand-level management of plantation forests (2008, background): “…forests has found that managed forests often lack old-growth features, such as large trees, vertical heterogeneity, diverse tree species assemblages and large-diameter dead wood, that may be important for promoting biodiversity (Halpern and Spies 1995; Hodge and Peterken 1998; Humphrey 2005).”
