.土著人民对林地和野生动物的管理不同于公共和私人林地管理者。为了评估这些差异的生态结果，我们比较了Ojibwe和Menominee部落森林的结构，组成和多样性附近的非部落林地在北方威斯康星州。这些土著人民寻求管理森林以保持成熟的条件，为狼和其他掠食者提供住宿，并猎鹿以维持传统的生计价值。他们的森林通常比附近的非部落林地更成熟，树木体积更大，树木再生率更高，植物多样性更高，入侵物种更少。相比之下，非部落林地失去了可观的植物多样性在20世纪世纪，并未能再生树种鹿草食动物敏感。随之而来的森林组成和野生动物种群的变化损害了管理者维持野生动物和满足非部落林地认证标准的能力。部落林地的经验教训可以帮助改善非部落公共林地的可持续管理。
. Indigenous peoples manage forestlands and wildlife differently than public and private forestland managers. To evaluate ecological outcomes from these differences, we compared the structure, composition, and diversity of Ojibwe and Menominee tribal forests to nearby nontribal forestlands in northern Wisconsin. These indigenous peoples seek to manage forests for mature conditions, accommodate wolves and other predators, and hunt deer to sustain traditional livelihood values. Their forests are often more mature with higher tree volume, higher rates of tree regeneration, more plant diversity, and fewer invasive species than nearby nontribal forestlands. In contrast, nontribal forestlands lost appreciable plant diversity in the 20th century and have failed to regenerate tree species sensitive to deer herbivory. Ensuing shifts in forest composition and wildlife populations have jeopardized the ability of managers to sustain wildlife and meet certification standards on nontribal forestlands. Lessons from tribal forestlands could help improve the sustainable management of nontribal public forestlands.
