尽管欧洲森林得到了高度管理，但人们对欧洲森林管理做法的变化对生态的影响知之甚少。此外，很少同时考虑森林生物多样性下降的潜在驱动因素的影响，从而限制了有效的养护或可持续森林管理。我们提出了一个基于特征的框架，用来评估森林中多种土地利用和管理变化对整个欧洲鸟类种群的不利影响。确定了近几十年来森林生境发生的重大变化及其对鸟类资源可获得性的影响。对52种森林鸟类与这些变化相关的风险进行了量化，并将其与1980年至2009年泛欧地区的种群增长率进行了比较。风险与种群增长之间的关系被发现是显著负的，这表明欧洲森林中的资源损失是候鸟和候鸟数量下降的重要驱动因素。我们的结果表明，资源利用和生态变化的粗略量化对于理解生物多样性下降的原因，从而为保护战略和政策提供信息是有价值的。这种办法有很好的推广潜力，可用于预测性地评估未来可能发生的变化对森林管理的影响，并制定更准确的森林健康指标。
The ecological impacts of changing forest management practices in Europe are poorly understood despite European forests being highly managed. Furthermore, the effects of potential drivers of forest biodiversity decline are rarely considered in concert, thus limiting effective conservation or sustainable forest management. We present a trait-based framework that we use to assess the detrimental impact of multiple land-use and management changes in forests on bird populations across Europe. Major changes to forest habitats occurring in recent decades, and their impact on resource availability for birds were identified. Risk associated with these changes for 52 species of forest birds, defined as the proportion of each species' key resources detrimentally affected through changes in abundance and/or availability, was quantified and compared to their pan-European population growth rates between 1980 and 2009. Relationships between risk and population growth were found to be significantly negative, indicating that resource loss in European forests is an important driver of decline for both resident and migrant birds. Our results demonstrate that coarse quantification of resource use and ecological change can be valuable in understanding causes of biodiversity decline, and thus in informing conservation strategy and policy. Such an approach has good potential to be extended for predictive use in assessing the impact of possible future changes to forest management and to develop more precise indicators of forest health.
