“…Forest stands in the Bavarian Forest National Park have been affected by two severe outbreaks of I. typographus during the last 20 years (M€ uller et al, 2008). Due to a benignneglect strategy, these outbreaks led to increased structural heterogeneity and a mosaic of stands killed by I. typographus and vital stands nearby (Beudert et al, 2015;Thorn et al, 2016). Within this mosaic of killed and vital stands, we established 119 sampling points for acoustic surveys and seven locations for mist netting (Fig.…”

“…Conversely, many studies aimed to assess ‘Human influence on biodiversity & landscapes' ( n = 71; 17.6%), depicting an overall negative effect of human activities on biodiversity, both inside and outside PAs (Figure c). The intensification of land use, the fragmentation of natural landscapes through the expansion of infrastructure, as well as logging and deforestation activities were found to be particularly detrimental to biodiversity (e.g., Armenteras, Rodríguez, & Retana, ; Botha, Witkowski, & Shackleton, ; Dallimer & King, ; Thorn, Bässler, Svoboda, & Müller, ). In contrast, the influence of agropastoral activities on biodiversity was found to be more variable according to the context and systems considered (e.g., Leigh, Smart, & Gill, ; Mworia, Kinyamario, & Githaiga, ; Petracca et al, ).…”

“…In particular, disturbed forests are characterised by the types, abundances, and spatial distribution of biological legacies (Franklin et al, ). Elements such as downed and standing deadwood that play key ecological roles (Hutto, ; Lindenmayer & Possingham, ; Marañón‐Jiménez & Castro, ; Thorn, Bässler, Svoboda, & Müller, ; Wagenbrenner, MacDonald, Coats, Robichaud, & Brown, ), soft disturbance edges that constitute appropriate habitat for many species (Hanson & Stuart, ), and the temporal dynamics that affect these elements, define such ecosystems and set the scene for post‐disturbance regeneration. Salvage logging changes the amount, characteristics and spatial arrangement of most biological legacies (Lindenmayer & Ough, ), and it eliminates much of the spatial heterogeneity produced by a given natural disturbance (Noss, Franklin, Baker, Schoennagel, & Moyle, ).…”

“…Windthrow events leave a landscape characterised by weakened trees that may constitute the breeding ground for pest insects that can also invade neighbouring forest (Schroeder, ; Stadelmann, Bugmann, Meier, Wermelinger, & Bigler, ). Such interaction chains between natural disturbances are widely recognised and feared, and their avoidance constitutes a major motivation for salvage logging (Fraver et al, ; Thorn et al, ; Müller et al, ). For example, Swedish legislation obliges salvage logging after storms to leave a maximum of 5m 3 ha −1 of deadwood to prevent bark beetle outbreaks (Swedish Forest Agency, ).…”
