Long-term comparison shows protected and non-protected forests differ in harvesting, but not in wildfires or drought-driven dieback

Sumario:[EN] While disturbances are essential for biodiversity, their escalation driven by climate change may threaten forest ecosystems. Contrasting approaches to adapt forests to disturbances—intensifying management versus encouraging natural succession towards more mature ecosystems—have sparked a debate about whether protection influences forests' vulnerability to disturbance. This question, however, has barely been investigated.
