The occurrence of fauna in commercial plantations is often associated with structural complexity. Through ameta-analysis, we tested whether the structural complexity of plantations could enhance bird species assemblages ...

As matrices form the major component of landscapes mosaics, assessing regeneration suitability for native species within matrices is relevant for conservation and mandatory if native remnant patches are scarce, small and ...

Plantation forests have been expanding in many tropical and subtropical environments. Howerver, even when they replace less wildlife friendly land uses such as pastures and annual crops, the biodiversity levels of pristine ...

The replacement of native forests by tree plantations affects the diversity of biological communities, particularly in highly diverse tropical and subtropical ecosystems such as the semi-deciduous Atlantic forest. Previous ...

Native forest replacement by exotic forestry plantations and fragmentation may have different consequences for biodiversity. In the transition zone between the Mediterranean and Temperate Regions of Chile, native forests ...

The growing replacement of native vegetation by forest plantations is considered a global threat to biodiversity. Significant variation in biotic communities among stands with similar management suggests that previous land ...
