Biodiversity response to intensive biomass production from forest thinning in North American forests – A meta-analysis (2011, background): “As forest succession continued, precommercial thinning sustained high levels of plant diversity (Weidenfalk and Weslien, 2009).”
High plant species richness indicates management-related disturbances rather than the conservation status of forests (2013, background): “Furthermore, ycott et al. (2006), for coniferous plantations in England, nd Widenfalk and Weslien (2009), for boreal forests in Sween, also reported higher species richness for younger than or mature forests.”
