Low-productivity boreal forests have high conservation value for lichens

Sammanfattning

1. Land set aside for preservation of biodiversity often has low productivity. As biodiversity generally increases with productivity, due to higher or more diverse availability of resources, this implies that some of the biodiversity may be left unprotected. Due to a lack of knowledge on the species diversity and conservation value of low-productivity habitats, the consequences of the biased allocation of low-productivity land for set-asides are unknown.2. We examined the conservation value of boreal low-productivity forests (potential tree growth
