Due to traditional forest management, the primary goal of which is the production of raw
wood material, commercial forest stands are characterized by low biodiversity. At the same …

We re-examined the knowledge on the relationships between fauna and forest management
in Italy. We focused our attention on Vertebrates, including small mammals (Rodents and …

With the aim at developing a landscape dynamics framework for environmental planning
and management and testing the effectiveness of protected areas in achieving the 2030 …

Tree species diversity is important to maintain saproxylic beetle diversity in managed forests.
Yet, knowledge about the conservational importance of single tree species and implications …

Most European temperate woodlands are managed as high forests by clear-cutting or
selective cutting. Such forests are shady environments, providing limited opportunities for …

The species‐energy hypothesis predicts increasing biodiversity with increasing energy in
ecosystems. Proxies for energy availability are often grouped into ambient energy (ie, solar …

Microclimatic conditions in forests depend on canopy cover and thus differ between closed
and open forests and similarly change along the vertical axis from the forest floor to the …

Saproxylic beetles are common in all types of forests, but they are more abundant in natural
forests. They are mostly recognized as beneficial insects, as they are involved in …

The rapid expansion of planted forests harms native biodiversity. Few studies report the
effects of replacing wetlands with planted forests on ground beetles. We analyze how the …

Saproxylic beetles have gained increasing attention due to their role in the decomposition of
rotting wood in forests. Studying the response of saproxylic beetles to tree harvesting is …
