DOI: 10.1007/s10841-018-0066-8
Abstract: Harvestmen have a general distribution pattern with more species and higher abundance in forests than in open habitats, as previously verified in mountain Cantabrian areas of northern Spain, of the Orocantabrian Province. The study of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolecon.2019.05.010
Abstract: Abstract This study adapts the Faustmann model (1849) to include the effects of carbon-based payments for environmental services on the optimal rotation length of forest plantations. We assume payments occur at the end of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2017.09.026
Abstract: Abstract Native forest in central Chile has been increasingly replaced by exotic forest plantations. In particular, saproxylic beetles could be highly sensitive to exotic forest plantations due to the clear-cutting management decreases deadwood accumulation while… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2020.118252
Abstract: Abstract Characterized by young age and a large area been newly planted, China’s forests were projected to have high carbon (C) uptake potential in the future. While such a potential assumes continuous human management, the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ecog.03329
Abstract: Large carnivores can be a key factor in shaping their ungulate prey's behavior, which may affect lower trophic levels. While most studies on trade-offs between food acquisition and risk avoidance by ungulate prey species have… read more here.

Forest Plantations in Manabí (Ecuador): Assessment of Fragmentation and Connectivity to Support Dry Tropical Forests Conservation
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Applied Sciences"
DOI: 10.3390/app13116418
Abstract: In many tropical regions, national forests plantation programs have been promoted. Those plantations frequently contribute to habitat changes. However, the associated effects of forest plantations on habitat fragmentation and landscape connectivity are unclear. From 2008… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/f8060205
Abstract: As disease outbreaks in forest plantations are causing concern worldwide, a clear understanding of the influence of silvicultural practices on the development of epidemics is still lacking. Importantly, silvicultural practices are likely to simultaneously affect… read more here.
