In intensively managed forests dominated by clear-cutting, the effect appears beyond the management area. The effects can be seen up to 120m from the clear-cut area. A variety in the size of clear-cuts creates different conditions for birds and biodiversity and might be useful management tool to create a diverse environment on the landscape level. Thinning is a common silvicultural practice in most forests, we found negative short-term effect, however, we do not consider long-term negative impact on biodiversity. Tree retention and deadwood conservation during the final felling is an essential tool for the creation of long-term close-to-natural conditions in forests.Hokkaido University Forests, EFRCDepartmental Bulletin Paperapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/2115/84958info:doi/10.14943/EJFR.22.69https://eprints.lib.hokudai.ac.jp/dspace/bitstream/2115/84958/1/15%29%20EJFR-Brazaitis%20final.pdf1345-8221AA11490494Eurasian Journal of Forest Research2269722022engpublisher
