“…Although retained trees all had diameters < 23 cm, appearance of residual trees in models for secondary cavity nesters of Carolina wrens and Carolina chickadees was not surprising. Previous research has found that cavity nesters may extend their home range to include young plantations when snags and nest sites were available (Dickson et al 1983, Caine & Marion 1991. Lohr et al (2002) reported that snag removal reduced abundance of Carolina wren but not Carolina chickadee in loblolly forests of South Carolina.…”

“…Additionally, snag removal may reduce substrate for some insects, possibly reducing prey sources for insectivorous birds. Snags in regenerating pine plantations may increase total abundance and species richness of avian species (Johnson & Landers 1982, Dickson et al 1983, Caine & Marion 1991. Dickson et al (1983) noted increased presence of yellow-breasted chats and brownheaded cowbirds in plots with snags versus snag-less plots in an east Texas, USA clearcut.…”

In contrast to our models, Dickson et al (1983) found that blue grosbeak, field sparrows, and prairie warblers were more abundant on plots devoid of standing snags, whereas indigo buntings and common yellowthroats did not differ in abundance between snag and snag-less plots.…”

Pine plantation establishment methods can alter vegetation composition and structure, thus affecting habitat important characteristics for declining early successional bird species. We evaluated eight vegetation characteristics, which varied due to a range of pine plantation establishment methods, to identify vegetation most closely associated with spring bird abundance in the Lower Coastal Plain of southern Mississippi, USA. Presence of residual trees and snags was positively related to relative abundance of 10 of 14 common species present in regenerating stands. Cover of woody vegetation was positively related to relative abundance of 4 species and negatively related to relative abundance of 2 species. For 5 species, increasing pine tree cover had a negative relationship with relative abundance. Residual trees and snags contributed to avian abundance and richness in regenerating pine plantations. Integration of habitat elements, such as residual trees that influence abundance of birds and other wildlife, with intensive pine plantation establishment can aid managers to attain wildlife conservation in intensively managed stands

“…Partial retention either in the form of dead or live isolated or clustered trees is an important measure for the maintenance of birds in forests (Dickson et al, 1983;Merrill et al, 1998;Lance and Phinney, 2001). Retention is a central procedure in conservation of forest diversity (e.g., Hunter, 1990;Franklin et al, 1997;Lindenmayer and Franklin, 1997).…”

ABSTRACT. We analyzed the effects of landscape measures within thefox squirrel (Sciurus niger) and gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis).Habitat suitability of the landscape in general increased with the implementation of SFI measures and habitat conditions were more diverse and even. Fragmentation and establishment of narrow and elongated habitat areas in a network configuration were the main consequences of the implementation of SFI measures in terms of habitat spatial structure. These changes were usually not limiting for the species analyzed. Mature pine and hardwood stands were absent from the simulated landscapes limiting the habitat for species like downy woodpecker or barred owl. Most of the species considered in this work benefited particularly from the implementation of streamside management zones (SMZs).

“…The remaining species cannot excavate holes (secondary cavity users) but must rely on holes created and abandoned by primary cavity users or use cavities resulting from natural decay processes (Tubbs et al 1987). There is mounting evidence that the supply of cavities may limit the abundance of some cavity-using wildlife (Scott 1979;Dickson et al 1983;Land et al 1989; but see Waters et al 1990). …”
