Managed forests can become a seminatural habitat by allowing natural vegetation to establish under the tree canopy. The aim of this study was to examine how this natural understory vegetation in pine plantations affects bird community composition and diversity. We compared bird communities in three types of pine forest plantations that differed in the composition of their understory vegetation. One thousand four hundred seventy-six birds of 33 species were observed in the three different forest habitats over two years. We found that the presence and composition of understory vegetation had a major role in determining bird community composition, richness, complexity and diversity. To ensure pine forest with high biodiversity in the eastern Mediterranean region, the understory needs to be rich in shrubs that are attractive to birds and other natural fauna.

人工松林的林下植被控制着地中海东部地区鸟类群落的组成和多样性

通过允许自然植被在树冠下建立,受管理的森林可以成为半自然的栖息地。这项研究的目的是研究松树人工林中的天然林下植被如何影响鸟类群落的组成和多样性。我们比较了三种松林人工林中鸟类的群落,这些松林的林下植被组成不同。在两年内,在三个不同的森林栖息地中观察到33种物种的1,476个鸟类。我们发现,林下植被的存在和组成在决定鸟类群落组成,丰富性,复杂性和多样性方面起着重要作用。为了确保东地中海地区生物多样性高的松树林,
