Variable-retention harvests in the Pacific Northwest: A review of short-term findings from the DEMO study (2009, neutral): “In a meta-analysis of 34 studies, Rosenvald and Lõhmus (2008) were unable to identify consistent relationships between level or pattern of retention and relative changes in species richness or abundance.”
A major shift to the retention approach for forestry can help resolve some global forest sustainability issues (2012, background): “…of preharvest forests targeted for long-term retention include individual structures (such as large living or dead trees, cavity trees, and logs) (Rosenvald & Lõhmus 2008), organisms (e.g., particular plant species), and small (typically 0.1–1 hectare) intact forest areas incorporating…”
Silviculture for old-growth attributes (2009, background): “Recent reviews (e.g. Lindenmayer and Franklin, 2002; Rosenvald and Lõhmus, 2008) concluded that these two assumptions are met in most situations.”
Diversity patterns of wild bees and wasps in managed boreal forests: Effects of spatial structure, local habitat and surrounding landscape (2015, background): “The effects of forest management and tree retention on diversity have been evaluated for a number of taxa, including birds, rodents and certain insect groups – mainly beetles that are dead wood dependent or ground living (Rosenvald and Lõhmus, 2008; Gustafsson et al. 2010).”
Lichens on dead wood: species‐substrate relationships in the epiphytic lichen floras of the Pacific Northwest and Fennoscandia (2008, background): “More recently, there has been increased investment in developing forestry methods that take habitat structure of these organisms into consideration (Rosenvald and Lõhmus 2008), especially for snag-dependent birds (Walter and Maguire 2005, Hutto 2006) and invertebrates (Hyvärinen et al.”
Biodiversity in European beech forests - a review with recommendations for sustainable forest management (2010, background): “82 ECOLOGICAL BULLETINS 53, 2010 are usually retained after the regeneration fellings (Rosenvald and Lohmus 2008).”
Suitability of close-to-nature silviculture for adapting temperate European forests to climate change (2014, background): “MLUV, 2004), although with limited long-term effects (Rosenvald and Löhmus, 2008).”
Retention Forestry to Maintain Multifunctional Forests: A World Perspective (2012, background): “For species and populations, the retention approach facilitates the maintenance of habitat for epiphytic plants, wood-inhabiting insects and fungi, and many other organisms (for reviews, see Rosenvald and Lõhmus 2008, Gustafsson et al. 2010).”
How to make more out of community data? A conceptual framework and its implementation as models and software. (2017, background): “GTR is a modification of traditional clear-cutting, aimed at mitigating effects on biodiversity (Rosenvald & L~ohmus 2008).”
