Impacts of salvage logging on biodiversity: A meta‐analysis

TL;DR: The results suggest that salvage logging is not consistent with the management objectives of protected areas, and substantial changes, such as the retention of dead wood in naturally disturbed forests, are needed to support biodiversity.
Journal ArticleDOI

The PREDICTS database: a global database of how local terrestrial biodiversity responds to human impacts

Lawrence N. Hudson, +273 more
TL;DR: A new database of more than 1.6 million samples from 78 countries representing over 28,000 species, collated from existing spatial comparisons of local-scale biodiversity exposed to different intensities and types of anthropogenic pressures, from terrestrial sites around the world is described and assessed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The database of the PREDICTS (Projecting Responses of Ecological Diversity In Changing Terrestrial Systems) project

Lawrence N. Hudson, +573 more
TL;DR: The PREDICTS project as discussed by the authors provides a large, reasonably representative database of comparable samples of biodiversity from multiple sites that differ in the nature or intensity of human impacts relating to land use.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of Coleoptera assemblages from a recently burned and unburned black spruce forests of northeastern North America

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used flight-interception traps in burned stands of contrasting age and structure in a 5097-ha wildfire and in neighbouring unburned mature stands, and found that the Scolytid Polygraphus rufipennis Kirby was the only common species to clearly favor older stands.
Journal ArticleDOI

Xylophagous insect species composition and patterns of substratum use on fire-killed black spruce in central Quebec

TL;DR: Several xylophagous insect species have adapted to recurrent fires in boreal forests and use high-quality habitats created by these disturbances, and these habitats are important for their continued survival.
