Biodiversité

Du 22 au 24 novembre 2023, l’Association des Amis de la la Massane et l’équipe de la Réserve Naturelle, en partenariat avec l’Observatoire Océanologique de Banyuls-sur-Mer (Sorbonne Université, CNRS), vous proposent d’assister au colloque scientifique dédié aux 50 ans de la Réserve Naturelle Nationale de la Forêt de la Massane.

Growing evidence suggests that forest management practices are threatening the long-term conservation of a number of animal, fungi, and plant species worldwide. Although unmanaged forests are considered important for biodiversity, forest management continues to affect these vital habitats. We systematically reviewed the scientific literature to gain insight into the effects of forest management abandonment on biodiversity. We calculated log response ratio effect sizes to perform a meta-analysis on species richness between still managed (MAN) and no longer managed (NLM) forests, throughout the world's boreal and temperate forest ecosystems.
