Residual tree retention ameliorates short-term effects of clear-cutting on some boreal songbirds
Download2001
Hannon, S. J., Norton, M. R., Tittler, R.
Abstract: Retention of residual trees in \"cutblocks,\" logged blocks of forest, has been proposed as a method to conserve songbirds in landscapes fragmented by clear-cut logging. We examined songbird communities in the boreal mixed-wood forest of Alberta, Canada, to investigate the effect on...
