Effects of salvage logging on avian nest survival in beetle-killed forests

▶ Information is needed to guide forest management after natural and anthropogenic disturbances. ▶ We examined how avian nest survival changed due to salvage logging of beetle-killed forests. ▶ Nest survival for weak and strong cavity nesters was significantly higher than for ground nesters. ▶ Of the 6 most common nesting species, 3 responded positively and 3 negatively to treatments. ▶ Selective harvest prescriptions after beetle outbreaks may meet multiple management objectives.
