AB  - 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 <I>Apodemus agrarius</I> and 52 
  <I>A. peninsulae</I> during the study. Both the total number of captures and 
  the total number of captured <I>A. agrarius</I> were higher in the clearcut 
  stand. The higher abundance of <I>A. agrarius</I> in the clearcut stand was 
  primarily due to the higher number of captured subadults. The population density 
  of <I>A. peninsulae</I> 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.
