Logging to "salvage" economic returns from forests affected by natural disturbances has become increasingly prevalent globally. Despite potential negative effects on biodiversity, salvage logging is often conducted, even in areas otherwise excluded and reserved for nature conservation, inter alia because strategic priorities post-disturbance management are widely lacking.A review of the existing literature revealed that most studies investigating biodiversity have been conducted less than 5...
Abstract Forests are increasingly affected by natural disturbances. Subsequent salvage logging, a widespread management practice conducted predominantly to recover economic capital, produces further disturbance and impacts biodiversity worldwide. Hence, naturally disturbed forests among the most threatened habitats in world, with consequences for their associated biodiversity. However, there no evidence-based benchmarks proportion of area be excluded from logging conserve We apply mixed...
Abstract Salvage logging following natural disturbances may alter the successional trajectories of biological communities by affecting occurrences species, functional groups and evolutionary lineages. However, few studies have examined whether dissimilarities between bird salvaged unsalvaged forests are more pronounced for rare lineages than their common counterparts. We compiled data on breeding assemblages from nine study areas in North America, Europe Asia, covering a 17‐year period...
Summary 1. Postfire salvage logging is the most commonly applied forestry practice in burned forests world‐wide, mainly for economic reasons. However, it strongly affects bird communities and generally considered to be detrimental conservation. In Europe, many open‐habitat species are currently declining owing land use changes. Wildfires, which common disturbances Mediterranean Basin, can create suitable habitat these but effect of postfire on unknown. 2. We surveyed breeding birds two...

Plant dispersal and colonisation are important processes in vegetation recovery after fire and, for several species, depend on the presence of frugivorous avian seed dispersers. In burned salvage-logged Mediterranean pine forests, occurrence disperser birds is enhanced by wood debris piles built as erosion barriers, which become foci. We hypothesised that distribution bird-dispersed plants could be determined piles. analysed differences species richness overall cover plants, well most common...

An average of 213,000 ha European forest is affected by fire every year, with 90% this area corresponding to Mediterranean countries. The timber the burned forests usually harvested clearcutting over large areas be used mainly as bioenergy. Recent scientific evidence has shown strong impact that these "salvage logging" practices have on ecosystem. However, owners and companies largely ignore academic debate, salvage logging decisions are taken for economic, practical emotional reasons. We...
The extension of montane cloud forests in western Mexico is threatened by several disturbances that limit their extension. In this study we aim to assess the contribution birds and bats dispersal colonization cloud–forest plants contiguous surface–burned pine forests. We sampled seed rain sapling establishment over one year two sites, which differed size closest forest patch. A total 17 plant species were found, most late–successional trees, shrubs climbers. Distance influenced only...

for best forestry practices to protect biodiversity and services provided by the regenerating ecosystem. Based on bibliographic review feedback with practitioners, authorities forest sector, in 2016 we published a “Handbook of good management burnt Mediterranean forests” (pdf available at http://anifog.wixsite.com/anifog/blank). The handbook contains fundamentals (based measured effects salvage logging), decision-making tool help decisions, recommendations sustainable (depending managers’...
