Temperate forests worldwide are facing degradation and loss due to land-use changes, disruption of disturbance regimes, and climate change. North American woodlands, in particular, are threatened by fire exclusion and the spread of invasive species. Effective conservation of these habitats, which support extensive biodiversity, requires a multifaceted approach that includes remote sensing techniques to identify areas resilient to extreme climate, and on-ground management (prescribed fire and tree thinning) to emulate historic disturbance regimes, including burning by Indigenous people.Vegetation phenology diversity, which can arise from landscape heterogeneity, contributes to resilience. In Chapter One, I examine the role of phenoclusters-areas defined by their similarity in vegetation phenology patterns-in influencing breeding forest bird species richness in Wisconsin. Resource availability also contributes to habitat resilience by promoting robust food webs, and in temperate forests, caterpillar biomass is a crucial resource for many species. In Chapter Two, I provide insights for forest management aimed at sustaining biodiversity, by assessing the capacity of common Midwestern tree and shrub species to support caterpillar biomass.While in the past woodlands in eastern North America were maintained through cultural burning by Indigenous people, now they largely depend on management to persist and maintain biodiversity. However, the effects of management on various taxa are not well understood, and can be difficult to quantify, and may be complicated by context-specific factors. In Chapters Three - Six, I examine the effects of management on oak woodland biodiversity in the Baraboo Hills (WI, USA), using a quasi-experimental framework with paired managed and unmanaged study sites. In Chapter Three I assess soundscapes as indicators of biodiversity changes following woodland management. In Chapter Four I quantify the influence of management on understory microclimates, herbaceous plants, insect biomass, and pollinator abundance. In Chapter Five I compare food webs between managed and unmanaged sites to evaluate habitat quality for insectivorous birds. Finally, in Chapter Six, I explore the trade-off between managing for woodland conditions and preserving closed-canopy mature forests, considering how these strategies influence insectivorous bird communities.
