How do post-fire silvicultural practices shape mammal communities? Natural regeneration supports higher functional diversity than artificial plantations in Mediterranean forests. #Wildfire #Ecology #FunctionalDiversity #ForestEcology #Biodiversity #Mammals #PostFireRestoration #MDPI #FIRE

For urban birds, vegetation acts as a natural buffer against urban stress. Even vegetated noisy areas can support high functional diversity, when human access is restricted.
