Biodiversity response to forest management intensity, carbon stocks and net primary production in temperate montane forests

Abstract Managed forests are a key component of strategies aimed at tackling the climate and biodiversity crises. Tapping this potential requires a better understanding of the complex, simultaneous effects of forest management on biodiversity, carbon stocks and productivity. Here, we used data of 13...
