Bird response to woody pastoral management of ancient chestnut orchards: A case study from the southern Alps
Original language description
Wood pasture abandonment is an important cause of structural homogenisation in traditionally managed forest landscapes across the Alps. In the present study, bird response to the restoration of ancient abandoned chestnut orchards was investigated by a pairwise-comparison of species richness and community composition in 94 managed and unmanaged chestnut orchards on the southern slope of the Swiss Alps. Sixty one bird species were tracked during four breeding seasons. Although managed orchards were more environmentally heterogeneous, the average number of bird species was only slightly higher in managed than unmanaged orchards, and no differences were found in species abundance and composition. We found, instead, five times as many bird species associated with managed chestnut orchards as compared to unmanaged orchards that only had one indicator and two exclusive species. We also found 11 species to be significantly associated with managed orchards that have higher bird species richness and are mainly characterized by low tree coverage.
