“…Timber harvesting and forest management techniques can combat this decline by increasing and diversifying habitats available to birds (Augenfeld et al, 2008;Cahall et al, 2013;Goodale et al, 2009;Keller et al, 2003;King and DeGraaf, 2000;Perry and Thill, 2013). In particular, shelterwood regeneration harvests in temperate-oak forests can increase bird populations by offering more diverse horizontal and vertical habitat compared to mature second-growth forests (Goodale et al, 2009;King and DeGraaf, 2000;Smith et al, 1997).…”

“…Thus, at the landscape-scale, the increase in habitat heterogeneity caused by the fires could increase overall bird community diversity (Roberts et al, 2012;Barton et al, 2014;Sitters et al, 2014). We expect bird community composition will be dynamic in the Lost Pines ecoregion over the next few decades as the burned habitat continues to change through natural successional processes and post-fire management actions (Barber et al, 2001;Perry and Thill, 2013). Of particular interest are the broad-scale post-fire clearcutting operations and loblolly pine planting initiatives that were initiated after the wildfires (Brown et al, 2014b).…”

“…Forest management influences the composition and structure of animal assemblages, mainly by changing their habitats (Fuller & Warren 1991, Baker & Lacki 1997, Ecke et al 2002, Perry & Thill 2013. Depending on the type of the silviculture system applied, changes of the habitat vary from mild structural changes in trees (age, density, plant species composition and diversity) through stand fragmentation to a complete deforestation (clearcuts).…”

Lešo P., Lešová A., Kropil R., Kanuch P., 2016. Response of the dominant rodent species to close-to-nature logging practices in a temperate mixed forest. Ann. For. Res. 59(1): 259-268.Abstract. The paper aims to answer the question whether differences exist in microhabitat preferences of the yellow-necked mouse and the bank vole between the natural forest and close-to-nature managed forest in the phase of stand regeneration. The two species were live-trapped during two periods in 2006 and 2007 on a square trapping grid established in a managed forest and a natural one. Ten microhabitat variables of each trapping point were measured to analyse their influence on the spatial distribution of the two species. At trapping points, the number of capture records for each species as a dependent variable was modelled using Generalised Linear Models. The herbal cover and a distance to the nearest woody debris were the most important measured microhabitat variables which affect the spatial distribution of both species. In the natural forest, the number of captures in both species increased significantly (p < 0.05) with a decreasing number of trees, increasing undergrowth coverage and decreasing distance to the nearest woody debris. In the managed forest, an increasing distance to the nearest tree and increasing herbal cover had a negative effect on the yellow-necked mouse occurrence (p < 0.001), while in contrast, the increase in values of the same variables increased frequency of occurrence of the bank vole (p < 0.001). Moreover, the bank vole was more frequent in the presence of woody debris (p < 0.002). The study demonstrated clearly that these species modify their spatial activity depending on the management of the woodland.
