A Nutrition-Based Approach for Elk Habitat Management on Intensively Managed Forestlands

Management of Roosevelt Elk Habitat and Harvest

On-farm habitat restoration counters biotic homogenization in intensively managed agriculture.

To slow the rate of global species loss, it is imperative to understand how to restore and maintain native biodiversity in agricultural landscapes. Currently, agriculture is associated with lower spatial heterogeneity and turnover in community composition (β-diversity). While some techniques are known to enhance α-diversity, it is unclear whether habitat restoration can re-establish β-diversity...

Role of Managed Forestlands and Models for Sustainable Forest Management: Perspectives from North America

realistically and justifiably allocated to protected areas? And perhaps even more importantly, on the remaining actively managed landscape, what forest management practices should be employed and how can these be encouraged? Answers to these questions must be adaptive to evolving models of sustainable ecosystem management as well as geopolitical context and local community involvement. In this ...

Habitat restoration promotes pollinator persistence and colonization in intensively managed agriculture.

Widespread evidence of pollinator declines has led to policies supporting habitat restoration including in agricultural landscapes. Yet, little is yet known about the effectiveness of these restoration techniques for promoting stable populations and communities of pollinators, especially in intensively managed agricultural landscapes. Introducing floral resources, such as flowering hedgerows, t...
