Arthropods as bioindicators of sustainable forest management, with a focus on plantation forests (2009, background): “In forested landscapes, oldgrowth forests support higher biodiversity than plantation forests (Lindenmayer and Hobbs, 2004; Ohsawa, 2005) due to the presence of diverse tree species, variable age classes, large logs, snags, and vertical structural heterogeneity, which provide diverse habitat resourc”
The value of primary, secondary and plantation forests for fruit-feeding butterflies in the Brazilian Amazon (2007, background): “Conservation biologists are divided over the extent to which extensive areas of regenerating and planted forests will be able to offset the loss of biodiversity from tropical deforestation (Daily 2001; Lindenmayer & Hobbs 2004; Brook et al . 2006; Wright & Muller-Landau 2006; Gardner et al . 2007)”
The challenge of maintaining Atlantic forest biodiversity: A multi-taxa conservation assessment of specialist and generalist species in an agro-forestry mosaic in southern Bahia (2009, background): “In fact, several studies have shown that the distance to remnant forest strongly influences biodiversity found in tree plantations (reviewed in Lindenmayer and Hobbs, 2004 ).”
Conversion of the Atlantic Forest into native and exotic tree plantations: Effects on bird communities from the local and regional perspectives (2006, positive): “…used for wood and pulp production, and it has been shown for Eucalyptus plantations in the Atlantic Forest (Mardsen et al., 2001) and Australia (Lindenmayer and Hobbs, 2004); for Pine plantations in the Atlantic Forest (this study), United States (Caine and Marion, 1991; Barber et al., 2001),…”
Non-native plantation forests as alternative habitat for native forest beetles in a heavily modified landscape (2008, background): “However, external influences at larger spatial scales, such as landscape composition and connectivity, are now recognised as critical determinants of biodiversity within plantations, and the influence of stand level management should be considered within a landscape context (Humphrey et al. 2004; L”
Paradox, presumption and pitfalls in conservation biology: The importance of habitat change for amphibians and reptiles. (2007, background): “Consequently, more focussed research is needed to understand the consequences for biodiversity of alternative land-use options, especially in the tropics (e.g. agricultural systems, Daily, 2001; Vandermeer and Perfecto, 2007; and plantation forestry, Lindenmayer and Hobbs, 2004).”
Seed predation as a barrier to alien conifer invasions (2008, background): “(2002) is that plantations and areas influenced by plantations offer less suitable habitat for native animals and contain fewer seed predators, as has been found in other areas (see Estades 1994; Lindenmayer and Hobbs 2004; Muñoz and Murúa 1989, 1990; Sykes et al. 1989).”
Small mammals in a mosaic of forest remnants and anthropogenic habitats—evaluating matrix quality in an Atlantic forest landscape (2007, background): “As suggested by Lindenmayer and Hobbs (2004), the maintenance of native understory seems to be an important management technique to increase permeability of homogeneous tree plantations.”
