“…Cerambycid larvae often depend on wood under various conditions, while adults are plant feeders and occasional pollinators in diverse forest ecosystems, and thus have become a target insect group for forest biodiversity research programs (Maeto and Makihara, 1999;Maeto et al, 2002;Makino et al, 2007). Cerambycid beetles have associations with flowering plants, coarse woody materials, and old oak trees (i.e., remnants of former old-growth forests within a matrix of conifer plantations) in temperate forest ecosystems (Ohsawa, 2004(Ohsawa, , 2007(Ohsawa, , 2008Müller et al, 2008).…”

Here we review the bioindicator potentials of several arthropod groups in forest management. First, we describe the indicator potentials of frequently used arthropod groups in general forest management, and then evaluate ecosystem function and plural taxonomic groups to infer forest biodiversity. We then review indicator potentials of arthropod groups to explore the ecological consequences of forest management practices. Different arthropod groups respond differently to forest management. Ants, carabid beetles, and spiders often respond to local-scale, disturbance-induced vegetation development caused by thinning and can be used to infer the ecological suitability of forest management treatments. Dung beetles and moths respond to habitat alterations caused by forest fragmentation and can indicate the suitability of landscape-level forest management techniques. Butterflies and cerambycid beetles respond highly positively to the presence of herbaceous plants and understory trees and can be used to infer the integrity of thinning treatments in forest management. Syrphid flies, which are strong flyers associated with vegetation complexity, can be used as bioindicators of landscape-level forest management practices. Monitoring regulatory service providers may also help when designing forest management practices. We propose using arthropod bioindicator groups to effectively design and assess ecologically sustainable management plans for both natural and plantation forests.

“…While many researchers have found low levels of biodiversity in plantations (Matthews et al 2002;Barlow et al 2007a;Makino et al 2007), other studies suggest that plantations can play an important role in biodiversity conservation and restoration of forest species (Hartley 2002;Cusack and Montagnini 2004;Carnus et al 2006;Brockerhoff et al 2008), particularly when management aims to balance environmental and economic goals (Brockerhoff et al 2001;Hartley 2002;Brockerhoff et al 2008). Enhanced biodiversity outcomes are expected with plantations that utilize indigenous tree species (Pejchar et al 2005;Carnus et al 2006;Stephens and Wagner 2007;Brockerhoff et al 2008), mixed species (Michelsen et al 1996;Hartley 2002), broadleaf rather than conifers (Aubin et al 2008) and longer rotation lengths (Ogden et al 1997;Brockerhoff et al 2003), and where they replace pastures with little remnant native vegetation (Felton et al 2010).…”

Does plantation forestry restore biodiversity or create green deserts? A synthesis of the effects of land-use transitions on plant species richness

2010

Plantations are established for a variety of reasons including wood production, soil and water conservation, and more recently, carbon sequestration. The effect of this growing land-use change on biodiversity, however, is poorly understood and considerable debate exists as to whether plantations are 'green deserts' or valuable habitat for indigenous flora and fauna. This paper synthesizes peer-reviewed articles that provide quantitative data on plant species richness in plantations and paired land uses, most often representative of preplantation land cover. The results of this synthesis suggest that the value of plantations for biodiversity varies considerably depending on whether the original land cover is grassland, shrubland, primary forest, secondary forest, or degraded or exotic pasture, and whether native or exotic tree species are planted. The results of this study suggest that plantations are most likely to contribute to biodiversity when established on degraded lands rather than replacing natural ecosystems, such as forests, grasslands, and shrublands, and when indigenous tree species are used rather than exotic species. These findings can help guide afforestation and reforestation programs, including those aimed at increasing terrestrial carbon sequestration.

“…One of the methods to enhance the understory biodiversity of Picea and Suga's pure reforestation was planting a combination of softwood and hardwood species (Deal 1997) this result Compared with our results and showed the equal conditions. Some investigations showed low levels of biodiversity in reforestations (Matthews et al 2002;Barlow et al 2007;Makino et al 2007), other studies showed that reforestations could play an important role in biodiversity, conservation and restoration of forest species, particularly when management aims to balance environmental and economical goals (Hartley 2002;Carnus et al 2006;Brockerhoff et al 2008).…”

Abstract. Vatani L, Hosseini SM, Akbarinia M, Shamsi S. 2017. Natural woody species biodiversity after Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens var. horizontalis) reforestation in Hyrcanian Forest,. The present study was conducted to investigate the impact of Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens var. horizontalis) reforestation (15 years old ) on woody species diversity comparison natural Hyrcanian forests. 9 sample plots with 20 × 20m area were taken in each stand by a random systemic statistical method and also control area, then natural regeneration number of woody species were measured. Shannon-Wiener for diversity index, Mechanic for richness index and Simpson for evenness index were calculated to evaluate species biodiversity, using Ecological Methodology and SPSS software. The results showed that sixteen tree and shrub species were appeared in Cypress understory naturally, that some of the species were rare. There was no significant difference between the diversity and richness index obtained for Cypress reforestation and natural forest. Regarding the rate of evenness, only in one area was found a significant difference was observed between Cypress reforestation and natural forest that in reforestation was more than natural forest (p<0.05). Regarding the results obtained on the study, Cypress reforestation did not reduce the woody plant biodiversity until the age of fifteen years old and findings of this investigation suggested that the conditions under the Cypress canopy might be suitable for the presence of some woody species, 15 years after reforestation.
