  • Beschreibung: The global increase in demand for wood products, calls for a more sustainablemanagement of forests to optimize both the production of wood and the conservationof forest biodiversity. In this paper, we evaluate the status and future trends of forestbirds in Central European forests, assuming different forest management scenariosthat to a varying degree respond to the demand for wood production. To this end,we use niche models (Boosted Regression Trees and Generalized Linear Models) tomodel the responses of 15 forest bird species to predictors related to forest stand (e.g.,stand volume of specific tree species) and landscape structure (e.g., percentage cover),and to climate (bioclimatic variables). We then define five distinct forest managementscenarios, ranging from set-aside to productivity-driven scenarios, project them 100years into the future, and apply our niche models into these scenarios to assess thebirds’ responses to different forest management alternatives. Our models show thatthe species’ responses to management vary reflecting differences in their ecologicalniches, and consequently, no single management practice can benefit all species ifapplied across the whole landscape. Thus, we conclude that in order to promote theoverall forest bird species richness in the study region, it is necessary to manage theforests in a multi-functional way, e.g., by spatially optimizing the management practicesin the landscape.
