摘要: Abstract Forestry practices affect various habitat characteristics that influence wildlife populations. Understanding the relative importance of broad effects forestry versus specific variables for may help managers balance multiple forest management objectives and potentially adjust to better conserve biodiversity. We compared experimental timber harvest treatments (clearcutting, thinning remove undesirable tree species) (coarse down wood, herbaceous vegetation, leaf litter) captures reptiles in central Missouri, USA two years post-harvest. also used drift fences along edges between uncut control clearcut detect changes movements after harvest, which is one potential mechanism differences among treatments. found best predicted small snakes, while both treatment lizard captures. Two taxa (Plestiodon spp., Sceloporus undulatus) had higher clearcuts than no control, consistent with studies across southeastern United States. Plestiodon spp. showed significantly more into from opposite direction, demonstrating were at least part due immigration adjacent forested areas. Small snakes undulatus areas coarse wood vegetation cover, associated plots. These results are another study but contrast South Carolina, indicating there be regional response practices. Further work on should examine seek understand underlying mechanisms.
