| Abstract | Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis) is a dominant tree species in the cold temperate mixed forest zone in eastern Eurasia. Its seeds are food sources for wildlife but have become an important and marketable part of the economy for local communities.We conducted ecological surveys inside and around Changbai Mountain Nature Reserve (CMNR) each year following the legalization of pine seed harvesting in 2000–2005 and restrictions on pine seed harvesting in 2006–2009.We found that human harvesting of pine cones was associated with declines in pine seed production and quality, pine regeneration, and populations of Eurasian red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris), sable (Martes zibellina), and Siberian weasel (Mustela sibirica).CMNR generally harbored greater wildlife populations than were found outside of its boundaries, but populations inside and outside of CMNR tended to decline in response to unrestricted cone harvesting. Enactment of restrictions on harvesting of cones in 2006 led to rebounds in populations of squirrel, sable, weasel, yellow-throated marten (Martes flavigula) and Eurasian jay (Garrulus glandarius) in CMNR relative to outside, concurrent with a reduced percent of seed being usurped by humans. However, harvest restrictions failed to diminish damage to trees by humans or seeds by insect pests, and regeneration of pine did not rebound.Our findings suggest that wildlife declines are reversible in the short-term, but long-term forest ecosystem stability is likely only if pine seed harvesting is either stopped or dramatically reduced on a permanent basis within CMNR. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
