“…Sex, age, and social status have been suggested as potential intrinsic drivers of inter-individual differences in habitat selection (Lesmerises and St-Laurent, 2017;Nilsen et al, 2009;Ofstad et al, 2019). In parallel, climatic conditions, ecological interactions (e.g., predation, competition), anthropogenic impacts, and local availability of different habitats may play an important role as extrinsic factors (Herfindal et al, 2009;Mysterud and Ims, 1998;Raynor et al, 2017;Treinys et al, 2016;van Beest et al, 2016). Moreover, animals often exhibit context-dependent habitat selection, occurring when selection varies across individuals as a function of variation in local environmental conditions.…”

“…Moreover, using open GIS data sets provide more information needed to quantify other forest ecosystem services and conduct the monitoring of them in Lithuanian private forest estates, e.g. the carbon balance, regulatory forest services, including reduced mortality risks due to wind, insects or diseases or providing habitats for forest dwelling species (Bāders et al, 2018a;Bāders et al, 2018b;Treinys et al, 2016). Available datasets seem to cover large diversity of needs for sustainable management of private forests in Lithuania.…”

In Lithuania, forests are managed by Lithuanian State Forest Enterprise, municipalities, ministries, etc. and private forest owners. About 50% of all forest land is State importance, privately owned forests cover 40% of forest land, and about 10% of forest land belongs to forests reserved for restitution. Forest management of private ownership force many challenges, because private forest owners are people, who have purchased or received the property after restitution, and often lacks knowledge about forest resources, its dynamics and sustainable forest management. As remote sensing is a valuable source for forest monitoring, because it provides periodic data on forest resource and condition status, these methods are gaining increased attention worldwide. In this context, more scientific efforts are made at developing remote sensing derived geo-spatial data services for sustainable forest management through a web service platform, which would integrate geo-information into daily decision making processes and operation for private forest owners. This article presents a review of privately owned forests’ statistics, questionnaire-based survey about GIS usage and demand for forest owners in Lithuania and links available sources of open geo-spatial data useful for sustainable forest management.

“…According to research, the decline in black stork abundance is associated with the intensity of silvicultural treatments [19,22]. Nevertheless, it should be noted that forestry is not the only underlying cause of the loss of black stork breeding habitats [25,62,63]. Black storks avoid open and fragmented stands, e.g., resulting from group cutting, as well as sites hydrologically disturbed by drainage.…”

This study analyzed the effects of various forest management scenarios on habitats of the black stork, which has very specific requirements: it needs extensive forest complexes with a significant proportion of old trees for nesting, and bodies of water for foraging. The relationship between different forest management scenarios and the presence of black storks was examined in a large forest complex (9641 ha of managed stands) surrounded by wetland areas. A simulation of forest development under three management regimes was performed for eighteen 10-year periods. Management scenarios differed in terms of the species composition of stands, rotation age, retention tree areas, and silvicultural treatments. The basic scenario was characterized by a species composition consistent with natural-type stands, but with higher proportions of Scots pine and oak, with rotation ages of 100 and 140 years, respectively, managed by the shelterwood system. The productive scenario featured monospecific stands with a dominance of Scots pine with a rotation age of 90 years, harvested by clearcutting. Finally, the long rotation scenario introduced mixed tree stands with a long rotation age (110 and 180 years for Scots pine and oak, respectively). As compared to the basic scenario, the total harvest volume was greater by 14.6% in the productive scenario and smaller by 16.2% in the long rotation scenario. The availability of habitats for black stork changed as a result of different species compositions and age structures of tree stands. A considerable decrease in rotation age (below 100 years) and the elimination of oak trees from stands in the productive scenario adversely affected potential habitats for black stork. On the other hand, the factors favorable to black stork habitats were a long rotation age, the presence of oak in stands, the application of shelterwood cutting, and the use of retention trees in the long rotation scenario. This scenario would probably also benefit other bird species legally protected under the European Union’s Birds Directive.
