Reviewer 3 Report

General comment

 

The paper deals with a very interesting topic, i.e. the identification of suitable indicators of   the sustainability of  landscape management. In particular, the authors examine the effect of different forestry management practices on animal, i.e. birds,  diversity richness, in a area in Czech Republic where  natural capital is highly preserved.  The conceptual framework is clear, although some points needs to be better explained. Results are interesting and properly discussed. The overall merit of the paper is to provide a method useful for assessing at detail-scale the landscape functionality.   Very minor revision is request as listed below:

 

- Authors affiliation: 1-3, are the same; indicate only once

-line 78-82 vs 101-104: in lines 78-82 here there is the indication of three (OG, FE, GSH) tested forest management practices, while in lines 101-104 there is the indication of two. The same statistical data (Table 4) refer to only two forest management forms,  i.e. (OG and GSH).  This is misleading and needs to be clarified.

-line 166, line 211: why GSTH? or GSH as in Table; please conform.

-Table 2:  difficult to read.
