abstract = {This study was conducted to clarify the effects of logging
intensity on small rodents in deciduous forests in Mt. Maehwasan, Hongcheon,
Korea. All habitat variables of stand structure and downed trees except the
volume of downed trees were significantly different among the control, thinned
and clearcut stands. Researchers captured 197 Apodemus agrarius and 52
A. peninsulae during the study. Both the total number of captures and
the total number of captured A. agrarius were higher in the clearcut
stand. The higher abundance of A. agrarius in the clearcut stand was
primarily due to the higher number of captured subadults. The population density
of A. peninsulae did not differ among study stands while coverage of
ground, volume of downed coarse woody debris and number of downed trees were
dominant predictor variables for population density. Small mammals differed
in sensitivity to habitat change caused by logging. Understanding the response
of small rodents to forest logging is necessary to evaluate the long-term ecological
effects of forest management.}
