Overview

Randomized trial examines bird community changes under different forest management strategies, suggesting a need for biodiversity-focused practices.

Key Points

  • This study aims to understand how bird communities respond to different forest management strategies in Scots pine forests.
  • Examined 207 plots to assess bird community responses to even-aged (EA) and uneven-aged (UEA) management.
  • Measured species richness and abundance among forest specialists, generalists, and ecological guilds.
  • Compared explanatory power of management strategy, management stage, and forest structural attributes.
  • UEA management generally favoured forest specialists and generalists, particularly cavity and understory nesters.
  • EA young stands had the lowest species richness and abundance for forest specialists and certain foraging guilds.
  • Management stage models explained more variation in bird community composition than management strategy or structural attributes.
