Abstract: Abstract Forest change occurs worldwide, especially on islands where space is a limiting factor for human activities. The replacement of diverse native forests by tree monocultures and subsequent changes in litter input characteristics can have… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2018.02.019
Abstract: Abstract Epixylic (log-dwelling) flora contribute much to forest biodiversity, but have been shown to decline with intensive management, perhaps through the reduced supply of coarse woody debris, their preferred substrate, and the altered mesoclimate of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2021.119073
Abstract: Abstract Retention forestry is thought to contribute to the balance between biological conservation and timber production. However, its efficacy has mainly been investigated in natural or naturally regenerated forests, and there have been few studies… read more here.
