Removal of deciduous vegetation in managed conifer forests is a major component of most silviculture programs. Despite controversy over non-target effects, research regarding the impact of vegetation management on birds is limited. I examined the effect of removing 90-96% of the deciduous tree volume on breeding bird communities in young conifer plantations during 4 years. Trees were removed by two treatments: manual thinning, and manual thinning plus application of the herbicide, glyphosate. The control and two treatments were each replicated three times. During the 3 post-treatment years, the herbicide-treated sites remained depauperate of deciduous vegetation while the manually thinned sites experienced deciduous regrowth. Variat...
