A significant amount of global forests is affected by natural disturbances and subsequent post-disturbance logging to ‘salvage’ some of economic returns. Such salvage logging occurs in all types of forests, including protected areas. The present talk reviews extents and motivations for salvage logging in protected and unprotected forests globally. Motivations for salvage logging are mainly economical, followed by interests of pest control. To reduce biodiversity loss caused by salvage logging five key policy reforms are necessary: (1) salvage logging must be banned from protected areas; (2) forest planning should address altered disturbance regimes for all intact forests to ensure that significant areas remain undisturbed by logging; (3) new kinds of integrated analyses are needed to assess the potential economic benefits of salvage logging against its ecological, economic, and social costs; (4) global and regional maps of natural disturbance regimes should be created to guide better spatio-temporal planning of protected areas and undisturbed forests outside reserves; and (5) improved education and communication programs are needed to correct widely-held misconceptions about natural disturbance regimes. Also, we argue that prominent forest certification organizations such as the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) valuing set asides of naturally disturbed forests as ecologically sustainable forest management to protect biodiversity and natural processes.

Mimicking small scale disturbance regimes to enhance biodiversity in middle-aged Scots Pine forests – a forest restoration experiment
Aljes, Maria; Meyer, Peter; Wörmann, Ronja; Culmsee, Heike (Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)In 2005 the Federal Government of Germany has started to transfer valuable areas for nature conservation purposes to the German Federal Environmental Foundation (DBU) and others as National Heritage Sites (NHS). These areas ... -
Urban forest soils harbour distinct and more diverse communities of bacteria and fungi compared to less disturbed forest soils
Scholier, Tiffany; Lavrinienko, Anton; Brila, Ilze; Tukalenko, Eugene; Hindström, Rasmus; Vasylenko, Andrii; Cayol, Claire; Ecke, Frauke; Singh, Navinder J.; Forsman, Jukka T.; Tolvanen, Anne; Matala, Juho; Huitu, Otso; Kallio, Eva R.; Koskela, Esa; Mappes, Tapio; Watts, Phillip C. (Wiley-Blackwell, 2023)Anthropogenic changes to land use drive concomitant changes in biodiversity, including that of the soil microbiota. However, it is not clear how increasing intensity of human disturbance is reflected in the soil microbial ... -
Contrasting Norway spruce disturbance dynamics in managed forests and strict forest reserves in Slovakia
Potterf, Mária; Svitok, Marek; Mezei, Pavel; Jarčuška, Benjamín; Jakuš, Rastislav; Blaženec, Miroslav; Hlásny, Tomáš (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2023)Forest disturbances are intensifying globally, yet regional drivers of these dynamics remain poorly understood. We investigated recent disturbance intensities in Norway spruce (Picea abies L.) forests in Slovakia ... -
Surviving in Changing Forests : Abiotic Disturbance Legacy Effects on Arthropod Communities of Temperate Forests
Cours, J.; Bouget, C.; Barsoum, N.; Horák, J.; Le Souchu, E.; Leverkus, A. B.; Pincebourde, S.; Thorn, S.; Sallé, A. (Springer, 2023)Purpose of Review The increasing impact of droughts, wildfires and windstorms in temperate areas poses a significant challenge to the adaptation capacity of forests and their associated arthropod communities. Organisms, ... -
How much is enough – estimating set-aside areas in naturally disturbed forests
Georgiev, Kostadin; Thorn, Simon; Müller, Jörg (Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)The amount of naturally disturbed forests in the Northern Hemisphere has increased as a consequence of global change. Natural disturbances, such as wildfires, windstorms and insect outbreaks affect billions of trees and ...
