DOI: 10.1007/s11056-019-09740-x
Abstract: Salvage logging after forest disturbances is a controversial but common practice, yet it remains relatively poorly studied, particularly after windstorms within deciduous forests. Here, we present results from the first growing season following salvage logging… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2017.09.027
Abstract: Abstract Outbreaks of pest insects occasionally cause mortality of entire forest stands. Salvage logging of affected stands is the most common management response to such events. Logging may aid stand recovery by increasing the production… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2021.119354
Abstract: Abstract Forests host most terrestrial biodiversity and provide important ecosystem services, including the provision of drinking water. Increasing frequency and intensity of natural disturbances and subsequent salvage logging may impact both biodiversity and drinking-water quality.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2745.13581
Abstract: Intense controversy surrounds the compounded disturbance of salvage logging, which superimposes an anthropogenic disturbance on already disturbed ecosystems and thereby provides a litmus test of forest regeneration and resilience. We conducted meta‐analysis to assess whether… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/f8090306
Abstract: Strong wind disturbances can affect large forested areas and often occur irregularly within a forest. Due to this, identifying damaged sites and estimating the extent of these losses are crucial for the harvesting management of… read more here.

DOI: 10.5751/ace-01206-130116
Abstract: The Black-backed Woodpecker (Picoides arcticus) is a snag-associated species that colonizes and utilizes patches of burned forests typically within 10 years of fire. Previous research has indicated that salvage logging, the removal of dead and… read more here.
