A typical approach uses chrono-sequences or snapshots of comparisons between different silvicultural methods or logging histories and makes the assumption that the matching of treatments is equal and evenly distributed across the same environmental niche and landscape context. Riparian corridors are important areas of bat foraging activity (Hayes and Adam 1996; Zimmerman and Glanz 2000; Brigham 2007), with male and female bats segregating themselves along corridor reaches in upland landscapes, with males more abundant at higher elevations (Grindal et al.

For this purpose, the NPV (€ ha−1) was calculated by discounting all harvesting and final felling incomes and management costs. Humans are also heavily reliant on the resources produced by forests, in particular timber. The use of silvicultural techniques to manipulate tree stands for timber production or biodiversity conservation goals presents several challenges. areas of mature forest >200 ha set 2–4 km apart within areas available for logging) have been retained for species, including bats, that rely on blocks of forest supporting mature forest attributes or characteristics (Webala et al.

The use of improved regeneration materials alone, with 10 and 20 per cent higher growth rates (BG10% and BG20%), increased the timber yield by up to 9 per cent and 18 per cent, during the rotation, compared to baseline management. Over the 60- and 70-year rotations, the highest timber yields were obtained with 2F_BG20% both under the current climate (7.4 and 7.6 m3 ha−1 a−1) and under climate change (7.1 and 7.3 m3 ha−1 a−1).

Clearcuts aim to mimic broadly the massive stand replacement events created by wildfires, which are an irregular feature of tall eucalypt forests in Australia. Natterer’s bat, Myotis nattereri, showed the opposite trend. Natural regeneration is also possible but was not considered in this study. Long-term studies are largely missing from assessments of the response of bats to silvicultural methods. At broader scales, maternal bat colonies selected roosts in landscapes with the highest availability of hollow-bearing trees. In the baseline management regime, the NPV2 per cent was €3207, €3449 and €3627 ha−1 for rotation lengths of 50, 60 and 70 years, respectively, under the current climate. Under climate change, the annual mean temperature and precipitation increased by 2°C and 6 per cent, respectively, by 2100 under the RCP2.6 forcing scenario (Ruosteenoja et al., 2016). U.S. Forest Service, Portland, Oregon. Silviculture's goal is to establish forests while controlling stand structure. Previously, a reasonable agreement was found in the growth responses of Norway spruce and Scots pine stands to N fertilization between the SIMA model simulations (range of 39–63 per cent) and field measurements (range of 30–53 per cent), compared to the unfertilized cases (Mäkipää et al., 1998). There is a general pattern of forest clutter increasing over time after group selection harvest so that old regrowth (>30 years) has significant higher clutter levels than young or older forest, which constrains use by bats to closed-space species with a low wing aspect ratio (Law and Chidel 2002; Webala et al. 2013), and research to address this gap would be valuable. Tree quality and stand density are the key parameters for natural regeneration. Males selected edges with open unplanted areas within their home ranges, which females avoided, instead selecting older stands for foraging. 363–379, Adams MD, Law BS, French KO (2009) Vegetation structure influences the vertical stratification of open- and edge-space aerial-foraging bats in harvested forests. For example, Russo et al. There remains little guidance on how much undisturbed forest should be retained at a landscape scale. We did not consider in this study either the increasing abiotic and biotic damage risks to forests, which could at least partially cancel out any climate-change-induced productivity increases (Reyer et al., 2017). Cumulative effects can result in reduced hollow tree density unless there is a specific retention of old trees, A group of forest trees sufficiently uniform in species composition or age to be considered a management unit, Felling to decrease tree stem density within young regrowth forests to reduce competition for resources among trees and promote the growth of the stand (Florence 1996), Creation of multi-aged stands in clearcut zones by retaining clumps, patches, or aggregates of old trees within the clearcut.

The foraging efficiency of echolocating bats is constrained by variations in vegetation because the echoes returning from prey need to be distinguished from background echoes returning from vegetation. 107 million m3 yr−1 in 2018; Statistics, 2019), forest biomass production per unit land area should be increased to better meet the diverse and increasing targets set for the future forest-based bioeconomy. Therefore, management that encourages habitat heterogeneity to fulfil the requirements of different species is needed.

Studies in oak–pine forests in Arkansas have demonstrated the use of dead and live trees along gap edges for roosting by several bat species (Perry and Thill 2007b; Perry et al. 2005). The projected climate change may increase forest growth and timber production on upland boreal forests in general, due to longer and warmer growing seasons, an increase in the supply of available N for growth, and higher atmospheric CO2 concentrations (e.g. Most importantly, a one-year snapshot may not be representative of temporal variation and dynamism over a longer period (Recher et al. In intensified silviculture, improved regeneration materials were used, with 10–20 per cent higher growth compared to unimproved regeneration materials (seedlings), and/or N fertilization of 150 kg ha−1, once or twice during a rotation of 50 to 70 years. At the same time, the atmospheric CO2 concentration increased from the current value of 350 ppm (1981–2010) up to 430 ppm by 2100 under the RCP2.6 forcing scenario. To our knowledge, no research has examined the implications for roost availability of this practice, although removal of standing dead wood will inevitably reduce the abundance and diversity of roosts and would have a considerable impact when carried-out over large scales (Lindenmayer and Noss 2006). Law and M. Chidel, unpubl. (2010) found evidence of roost selection flexibility in barbastelle bats, Barbastella barbastellus; dead and dying trees, a favoured roost site for this species, were six times more common in unmanaged than managed European beech, Fagus sylvatica, forests in central Italy. 2009).

Forests with reduced tree density and vegetative clutter permit higher levels of light penetration, with this increased exposure hypothesised to enhance the suitability of live and dead trees for roosting by bark- and cavity-roosting bats in temperate climates (Boyles and Aubrey 2006). Restrictions are further constrained to a start date of 15 November within 16 km of known hibernacula of the species (USFWS 2009). Canadian Research Branch, BC Ministry of Forests, Victoria, BC. In 1986, the Journal of Forestry published a series of papers that reflected on changes in silviculture in the United States from the 1950s to 1980s and predicted how silviculture might develop in … Seedlings are planted at high densities to maximise growth and form of trees, and this has the consequence of producing high levels of clutter as the trees grow. The study of forests and woods is termed silvology. 2013) and the density of other hollow-dependent fauna. A range of factors will influence the pattern of roosting close to creek-lines, but a large pool of older and mature trees in a variety of decay classes is likely to be important.

Forest management encompasses all measures implemented in the forest during a rotation, such as regeneration, young stand tending, thinning, fertilization and final harvesting. 2007). Missing in all of the dialogue, however, is any direct link of impact, or mortality of bats, during logging operations and studies of these potential impacts are needed (but see Borkin et al. This retention should be spread across the landscape to facilitate dispersal. Agro-forestry systems take advantage of trees for many uses: to … In selectively harvested forests, nominal ‘rotations’ are about 60–80 years though these develop from repeated logging visits to the same coupes every 10–30 years to produce a dynamic of multi-aged mosaics of even-aged regeneration cohorts (Curtin et al. Linder, 1987; Saarsalmi and Mälkönen, 2001; Hyvönen et al., 2008; Bergh et al., 2014). In Spain, R. euryale and Mehely’s horseshoe bat, R. mehelyi, both closed-space foragers, were radio-tracked foraging in eucalypt plantations and dehesa (managed oak savanna) in proportion to, or greater than, their availability (Russo et al. 2008b; O’Keefe et al. However, the growth response may vary, largely depending on the N dose, site fertility, climatic conditions and stand structure (Ingerslev et al., 2001; Nilsen, 2001; Nilsson and Fahlvik, 2006; Bergh et al., 2014). English Nature Research Reports no 658, Grindal SD (1996) Habitat use by bats in fragmented forests. Also referred to as uniform selection and heavy group selection, it removes all trees from a large management area and allows natural regeneration to take place, resulting in even-aged regrowth with high stem density. For small patches, this corresponded to landscapes with <22 % mature forest in the surrounding 1 km. One Australian study found that the 4-g eastern forest bat, Vespadelus pumilus, which ranges over relatively small areas, maintains similar sizes of maternity colonies in the scarce roosts remaining within regrowth forest compared to maternity colonies in old-growth forest (Law and Anderson 2000). Most importantly, foraging activity is typically much higher on forest trails than within the forest remote from trails or along narrow riparian zones (Law and Chidel 2002; Lloyd et al. Our findings, that the use of better-growing seedlings and N fertilization were profitable investments for forest owners, with a 2 per cent interest rate, are in line with the findings of previous studies, which suggested that tree improvement (Ahtikoski et al., 2012, 2013) and N fertilization (Jacobson and Pettersson, 2010; Simonsen et al., 2010) are financially justifiable. by 71, 42 and 29 per cent and by 75, 31 and 32 per cent for rotation lengths of 50, 60 and 70 years, respectively.

Long-term studies are ideal for tracking changes to vegetation structure as forests regenerate after harvesting and how different ensembles of bats respond to these dynamics. (2015), intensive management could be interpreted as a clear economic incentive to make long-term investments in forest management and forestry. This mirrors findings by Müller et al. These two examples help our understanding – our knowledge of silviculture - and we can say the same for many, many other attributes: tolerance of exposure, of low temperatures (frost), of shading, of seasonally water-logged soils, of pests and diseases, or issues like the start and frequency of flowering and seeding, … Conserv Biol 20:949–958, Lindenmayer DB, Franklin JF, Lõhmus A et al (2012) A major shift to the retention approach for forestry can help resolve some global forestry sustainability issues. Jarrah forest in Western Australia offers one example of providing pools of mature trees using zoning. In general, intensive management (thinning, fertilization and breeding gain) resulted in increased growth rate and may thus decrease thinning interval and rotation length (in years). Silviculture in old-growth forests available for timber production. The use of clonal material with high breeding gain in conifers is also still limited in practical forestry due to the high cost and low availability of such seedlings (Högberg, 2003). Timber production per hectare can be increased on upland forest sites by use of appropriate site-specific regeneration methods and materials, tending of seedling stands, commercial thinnings, and nitrogen (N) fertilization over a rotation (e.g. Pac Cons Biol 4:326–347, Kerth G, König B (1999) Fission, fusion and nonrandom associations in female Bechstein’s bats (, Klug BJ, Goldsmith DA, Barclay RMR (2012) Roost selection by the solitary, foliage-roosting hoary bat (, Kroll AJ, Lacki MJ, Arnett EB (2012) Research needs to support management and conservation of cavity-dependent birds and bats on forested landscapes in the Pacific Northwest. 2014).

As mnagement objectives become more clearly defined nd desired stnd conditions are identified, silviculture will play a major role in developing practices to attain them. J Wildl Manage 52:619–626, Tibbels AE, Kurta A (2003) Bat activity is low in thinned and unthinned stands of red pine. Vegetation structure revealed by LiDAR in Germany indicated that while high levels of understory cover were preferred by edge-space and gleaning species, open-space foragers were more associated with relatively open forest stands (Jung et al. These ‘clutter’ echoes can mask the echoes of prey making foraging inefficient in situations where vegetation is dense (Schnitzler et al. Monitoring the effectiveness of these strategies is an essential part of adaptive management and a fundamental part of ecological sustainable forestry and the ‘social license to operate’ that is increasingly required by forest certification schemes (Lindenmayer and Franklin 2002). 2012). Population studies are likely to provide the ultimate test of the effectiveness of a silvicultural regime, especially when such studies take a long-term perspective. Are forest disturbances amplifying or cancelling out climate change-induced productivity changes in European forests? Ensemble ecomorphology was a consistent predictor of how bats respond to vegetative clutter and its dynamic changes as forests regenerate and develop a dense structure following harvesting. Use of best management practices along streamside management zones for sustaining healthy, riparian ecosystems is a well-established forest management practice in many regions of North America (Stringer and Perkins 2001; Lee et al. Such results highlight the benefits of buffers, with riparian areas effectively providing habitat for foraging and commuting bats in selectively logged forests where clutter levels are likely to be high. The quality and density of old trees in exclusion areas must not be overlooked. 1988; Taylor and Savva 1988). In the short term, forest biomass production can be increased the most in Norway spruce and Scots pine stands by using N fertilization on upland forest sites, where the limited availability of N currently clearly restricts growth more than the supply of water (e.g. 2015). 2009) are already in place in Pacific coast forests of North America and Australian eucalypt forests and are being encouraged for use in management of forests globally (Gustafsson et al. Longleaf Pine Cone Prospects for 2017 and 2018 2017 Report (PDF; 539 KB) Ecol Indic 34:221–230, Regnery B, Paillet Y, Couvet D et al (2013b) Which factors influence the occurrence and density of tree microhabitats in Meditteranean Oak forests? Second, the response to clearcut harvests between Myotis species varies both within and among species (Patriquin and Barclay 2003), with some increase in activity associated with linear edge habitats at the periphery of cuts but reduced activity in the centre of harvested stands, except where residual patches are left behind (Hogberg et al. Such an approach is already in use in some regions, though there is a limited guidance on what constitutes a reasonable landscape threshold for retention. M. sodalis prefers roosts in edge habitats with low vegetative clutter and higher solar exposure of roost trees and M. septentrionalis selects roosts in shaded environments within intact forests (Carter and Feldhamer 2005). 2012; Lintott et al. In Scots pine, the increase in timber yield did not compensate for the cost of fertilization in all cases (e.g. Even with an interest rate of 3 per cent, N fertilization would have been profitable when improved seedlings were used in all simulation cases, as opposed to using unimproved seedlings (these results not shown in detail). The tree diameter is also used to calculate the height of the tree, and in this sense, the genotype affects both diameter and height growth of a tree. In this sense, such modelling can provide valuable support for defining optimal forest management strategies for practical forestry under changing climatic conditions. Silvicultural principles For producing high-quality timber valuable broadleaved trees need to have certain genetic characteristics. Corresponding values under climate change were €3920, €4288 and €4515 ha−1, respectively. While this is still common practice in some areas, the key role played by dead and decaying wood in the functioning and productivity of forest ecosystems, and its importance for biodiversity, has gained increasing recognition over the past 20 years (Humphrey 2005). 2011). 2003).
