Within-stand characteristics Adjacent land- uses Alternative land- use Cumulative landscape- scale and regional -scale land- use patterns Plantation Establishment Past and Alternative Land-Use. Plantation forests in this agricultural landscape represent restored habitats characterized by homogenous stands of wind-pollinated tree species under intensive management Cao 2008.

B to compare gross vegeta-tion structure of forest and cacao habitats.
Plantation forest habitat. Forest patches riparian zone and plantation area. Installation of bird and bat boxes can also increase biodiversity. Fischer and Lindenmayer 2006 more so than alternative land uses such as intensive agriculture.
By 2050 the total area of plantations is expected to exceed 200 million hectares and owing to their generally higher productivity than natural forest for. Forests also provide habitat for a vast array of plants and animals many of which are still undiscovered. In addition to such services plantation forests provide direct and indirect benefits to biodiversity via the provision of forest habitat for a wide range of species and by reducing negative impacts on natural forests by offsetting the need to extract resources.
Habitat quality of any given plantation any forest stand is defined by. C to examine the influence of seasonal phenological differences among canopy trees on bird commu-. Pine plantation-forest is now a key Nightjar nesting habitat particularly in northwestern Europe and increased understanding of foraging habitat selection is required.
Small-scale plantings on farms and around villages helps satisfy domestic demand for building and fencing materials fuel and local constructional uses. Some evidence has demonstrated that increasing habitat diversity in plantation forest landscapes may prevent the development of defoliator outbreaks Géri. Floater Zalucki 2000.
In total we captured 1108 bats representing 21 species and 5 families and the majority of these in terms of species and abundance were found in forest fragments. Forest plantations are an increasingly important forest resource worldwide. Habitat diversity at the landscape level generally offers better opportunities to meet wildlife needs rather than striving to protect all diversity components within each stand or management unit.
They provide the timber for products we use every day. They protect our watersheds. Kanowski 1997 argued that complex plantation forestry is an imponant way forward in many situations because society will demand outputs.
Forest ecology is the scientific study of the interrelated patterns processes flora fauna and ecosystems in forestsThe management of forests is known as forestry silviculture and forest managementA forest ecosystem is a natural woodland unit consisting of all plants animals and micro-organisms Biotic components in that area functioning together with all of the non-living physical. Plantation forestry while still having a relatively intensive management regime attempts to include other land uses and values within plantation boundaries and aims 10 produce goods and services in addition 10 wood products. Forests are so much more than a collection of trees.
The Landes de Gascogne Forest south-west France is the largest monospecific area of forest in Europe with more than 1 million ha of maritime pine Pinus pinaster Ait. However we find that plantation forests provide poor habitat for native forest specialists and examine potential management strategies. In some countries Australia New Zealand Chile they already provide the bulk of wood products.
There is compelling evidence. Such services plantation forests provide direct and indirect benefits to biodiversity via the provision of forest habitat for a wide range of species and by reducing negative impacts on natural forests by offsetting the need to extract resources. As a type of forest habitat plantation forests can greatly contribute to improve the quality of the matrix where native forest remnants are embedded Lindenmayer and Franklin 2002.
We radiotracked 31 Nightjars in an extensive 185-km2 complex conifer plan- tation landscape in 2009 and 2010. Xu 2011 that have been planted to limit environment degradation like soil and water erosion. A general assessment of the forest habitat quality found in cacao plantations using avian community structure comparisons that include both migratory and resident species.
To very mature forests. They inspire wonder and provide places for recreation. Globally forest plantations cover 140 million ha of land about half of which is located in the tropics and subtropics.
Edge effects of native forest fragmentation have been well studied but there are few studies of open-ground habitats fragmented by plantation forests. The wildlife interest of coniferous plantation can be enhanced by creating plenty of edge habitat ensuring there is a mosaic of clearfell young plantation and old stands and provision of buffers along water courses. During the decade spanning 1993-2003 the global forest plantation.
In comparison natural shrubland is a natural habitat characterized by diverse assemblages of insect-pollinated plant. They supply the oxygen we need to survive. Oil palm plantation was found to be a poor.
We find that plantation forests provide a suit-able surrogate habitat primarily for generalist species as well as providing habitat for certain species of conservation concern. We measure forestry edge effects on open-ground breeding birds following one of Europes biggest.
