Management diversification increases habitat availability for multiple biodiversity indicator species in production forests

Biodiversity Conservation in Production Forests

Effect of conserving habitat for biodiversity on optimal management of non-industrial private forests in Florida

Healthy forests and enhanced habitat for wildlife is a growing concern among public and policy makers. These concerns have led to substantial interest in promoting various regulatory and voluntary compliance policies to further biodiversity on private forests. These policies, however, might result in additional cost to forestland owners. In this paper, we estimate the opportunity cost of adopti...

BIODIVERSITY OF WOODY SPECIES IN Acer platanoides SITES IN THE SHAFAROUD FORESTS, GILAN (IRAN)

In this research, biodiversity was investigated in the species diversity level. The objective of this research was to study of Norway Maple (Acer platanoides L.) dispersion and biodiversity of associated woody species in the Shafaroud forests, Gilan (IRAN). In this regard, a 0.5 ha lozenge sample plot was selected with considering presence of Norway Maple in each site. In each plot, geographic ...

Island species richness increases with habitat diversity.

Species richness is commonly thought to increase with habitat diversity. However, a recent theoretical model aiming to unify niche and island biogeography theories predicted a hump-shaped relationship between richness and habitat diversity. Given the contradiction between model results and previous knowledge, we examine whether the relationship between species richness and habitat diversity is ...
