Agroforestry systems as habitat for herpetofauna: Is there supporting evidence?
(2013)
The need to carry out biological conservation outside protected areas requires avoiding, minimizing or mitigating impacts brought about by habitat transformation upon the biota. Usually, forest plantations hold fewer species ...
Native forest replacement by exotic plantations triggers changes in prey selection of mesocarnivores
(Elsevier, 2015)
Replacement of native forests by forest plantations may change the composition and abundance of small
mammals, thus influencing the foraging behavior of mesocarnivores in these human-created habitats. We
assessed how ...
Insectivory in Pinus radiata plantations with different degree of structural complexity
(2013)
Increasing evidence suggests that, depending on the structural complexity of a plantation, it can act as complementary habitat for insectivore birds and mammals. The magnitude of interactions such as insectivory, in turn, ...
Effect of plantation clearcutting on carnivore presence in industrial forest landscapes in south-central Chile
(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2018)
© 2018 Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Berlin/Boston 2018. Information on how wildlife is affected by pine plantation clearcutting is relevant for designing management strategies to promote biodiversity conservation in productive ...
Seed rain, seed predation and germination of native species in Pinus radiata plantations in south-central Chile: Effects of distance to native forest and presence of understory Lluvia de semillas, depredación de semillas y germinación de especies nativas
(Universidad Austral de Chile, 2016)
© 2016, Universidad Austral de Chile. All rights reserved. Native vegetation development in forestry plantations may depend on seed dispersal, seed predation and seed germination. These processes may depend on distance to ...
Foraging activity by bats in a fragmented landscape dominated by exotic pine plantations in central chile
(2013)
We assessed foraging activity of insectivorous bats in a fragmented landscape of central Chile including native temperate forest, forest fragments, commercial pine plantations and local human settlements. Overall bat ...
How does the replacement of native forest by exotic forest plantations affect the diversity, abundance and trophic structure of saproxylic beetle assemblages?
(Elsevier, 2017)
Native forest in central Chile has been increasingly replaced by exotic forest plantations. In particular, saproxylic
beetles could be highly sensitive to exotic forest plantations due to the clear-cutting management ...
Plantaciones forestales en Costa Rica y Nicaragua: comportamiento de las especies y preferencias de los productores
(CATIE, Turrialba (Costa Rica), 2001)
Muchas de las especies utilizadas en esta investigación representan actualmente la mayoría de las especies más usadas en los programas de reforestación en pequeñas y medianas fincas del trópico húmedo de Costa Rica y trópico ...
Forested habitat preferences by Chilean citizens: Implications for biodiversity conservation in Pinus radiata plantations
(2012)
The need for conservation outside protected areas has prompted the modifi cation of productive practices to allow the maintenance of wild biota in productive landscapes such as those associated to timber production. Forest ...
