TL;DR: In this paper, changes in the environment and in forest management over the past 45 years have had a significant, positive effect on the abundance of non-migratory forest bird species in Central Europe.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effects of forest management on animal and plant biodiversity by comparing protected areas with intensively and extensively managed forests in Germany and in Romania and identified a "cut and leave" type of management in Romania, in which clear-felling of forest are followed by long periods of no human intervention.

TL;DR: Although monoculture biomass was a significant predictor for species performance in mixtures except for grasses, a combination of monocculture biomass, plant growth rates and resource-use traits associated with nutrient and light acquisition explained non-legume species performance best.

TL;DR: Positive impacts of colonizing species on residents which accelerated through time decreased with an increasing number of sown species, suggesting that colonization can destabilize the species composition of residents in terms of abundance while leaving them unchanged in Terms of functional characteristics.
