Understanding the effects of forest management on avian species
Marzluff JM, Raphael MG, Sallabanks R. 2000. Understanding the effects of forest management on avian species. Wildlife Society Bulletin. 28(4):1132-1143
From the Abstract: "We reiterate the general problems of small scale and lack of rigorous experimental design that reduce the ability of wildlife studies to offer concrete recommendations for forest management. We emphasize the need to increase our understanding of mechanisms during the tranlsation of forest structure, composition, and function into avian population abundandance, distribution, and viability. Mechanistic understanding increases the manager's likelihood of correctly predicting prescription outcomes and give him increased flexibility to balance competing demands of resource production and wildlife conservation."
