Figure 5.

Regressions depict varied strong relationships between legacy stand vegetation and bird community variables in early stem exclusion. Figures depict the following relationships: (a) forest ground‐nesting bird abundance against stem density of trees with DBH >45 cm per ha, (b) total bird abundance against legacy tree basal area per ha, (c) bird species richness against legacy tree stem density per ha, (d) ground‐foraging bird abundance against stem density of trees with DBH >45 cm per ha, (e) foliage‐gleaning bird abundance against legacy tree basal area per ha, and (f) tree‐nesting bird abundance against tree species richness
