Using silviculture treatments as a tool to create habitat for wildlife is common practice in conservation and natural resource management. Although diverse forest age structures composition benefit many species, relatively little known about bat response young habitat. Understanding how the activity of bats changes forests age, influence landscape level, stand biologically relevant variables on...

A significant expansion of prescribed fire activity will be necessary to mitigate growing wildfire hazard in California forests. Forest managers can facilitate this by promoting forest structures that allow for more effective implementation fire, both initial-entry and repeat burns. We analyzed changes surface fuel during a series three burns replicated mixed-conifer stands following period ove...

Abstract Forest harvesting causes habitat loss and alteration can change predator–prey dynamics. In Canada, forest has shifted the distribution abundance of ungulates (deer, elk moose) that prefer early seral forest, resulting in unsustainable caribou predation by shared predators (bears, cougars wolves). Long‐term solutions for recovery require management to reduce ungulate prey species within...
