2 Area harvested vs. area burned between Regenerating landscapes (wildfire): ha Regenerating landscapes (harvesting): ha Drapeau, Leduc and Bergeron Setting Conservation targets in managed forest landscapes. Villard and Gunnar Jonsson (editors), Cambridge University Press.
3 Riparian buffers (20 m) Remnant patches (4-10 ha) Cutblock separators ( m)
4 Remnant forests.. Do they offer adequate conditions (composition and structure of deadwood) for occupancy by old forest species (deadwood associates)?
5 Study site Remnant forests Managed landscapes Amos-Matagami Study Area km 2 85% harvested
6 Four Habitat types Remnant patches Riparian buffers (20m) Cutblock separators (60-100m) Unharvested large forest tracks (controls)
7 7 species known to use old forests (cavity nesters, dead wood associates, residents, closed canopy users). Tree-toed Woodpecker Black-backed Woodpecker Boreal Chickadee Brown Creeper Winter Wren Red-breasted Nuthatch Golden-crowned Kinglet

13 Research Objective Evaluate if linear remnants in landscapes dominated by clear cut agglomerations provide nesting habitat for woodpeckers.. Pierre Drapeau
14 Are linear remnant forests quality nesting habitats? Even-aged forest management with short rotations Reduction in nesting and foraging substrates for woodpeckers Decrease in habitat quality (predation risk food resources) Effects on Occupancy and Breeding Activity
15 Predictions: 1) Nest density : 2) Nest success: 3) Nest productivity:
