Despite these differences, both managed and unmanaged stands had sufficient amounts of large trees and large trees with wildlife cavities to maintain excavator bird habitat based on minimum target guidelines from the literature. In both managed and unmanaged stands, minimum target guidelines to emulate old-growth conditions were not met: at least 30 live trees ha<sup>\u22121<\/sup> &gt;49.0 cm in diameter at breast height, and at least 11 m<sup>3<\/sup> ha<sup>\u22121<\/sup> of downed CWD volume with large-end diameter &gt;44.0 cm.
