Coarse Woody Debris Decomposition Assessment Tool: Model validation and application. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 Coarse woody debris (CWD) is a significant component of the forest biomass pool; hence a model is warranted to predict CWD decomposition and its role in forest carbon (C) and nutrient cycling under varying management and climatic conditions.

Decay and nutrient dynamics of coarse woody debris in the Qinling Mountains, China. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 As an ecological unit, coarse woody debris (CWD) plays an essential role in productivity, nutrient cycling, carbon sequestration, community regeneration and biodiversity. However, thus far, the information on quantification the decomposition and nutrient

Estimating uncertainty in the volume and carbon storage of downed coarse woody debris [PDF]
Ecological Applications, 2019 Downed coarse woody debris, also known as coarse woody detritus or downed dead wood, is challenging to estimate for many reasons, including irregular shapes, multiple stages of decay, and the difficulty of identifying species.

Climatic regions as an indicator of forest coarse and fine woody debris carbon stocks in the United States [PDF]
Carbon Balance and Management, 2008 Background Coarse and fine woody debris are substantial forest ecosystem carbon stocks; however, there is a lack of understanding how these detrital carbon stocks vary across forested landscapes.

Influence of southern pine beetle on fungal communities of wood and bark decomposition of coarse woody debris in the New Jersey pine barrens [PDF]
Forestry Research, 2021 Dead coarse woody debris (fungal food resources) on the forest floor is an ignition source for forest fires. The rate of decomposition of the debris is largely influenced by fungi, determining its residence time on the forest floor.

Modelling the disappearance of coarse woody debris, following a land clearing event [PDF]
Carbon Balance and Management, 2021 Background Land clearing generates coarse woody debris (CWD), much of which ultimately becomes atmospheric CO2. Schemes for greenhouse gas accounting must consider the contribution from land clearing, but the timing of the contribution will have large ...

Relationship between the decomposition process of coarse woody debris and fungal community structure as detected by high-throughput sequencing in a deciduous broad-leaved forest in Japan. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 We examined the relationship between the community structure of wood-decaying fungi, detected by high-throughput sequencing, and the decomposition rate using 13 years of data from a forest dynamics plot.

Spatial Pattern of Living Woody and Coarse Woody Debris in Warm-Temperate Broad-Leaved Secondary Forest in North China [PDF]
PlantsThe investigation into the spatial distribution of living woody (LWD) and coarse woody debris (CWD) within forests represents a fundamental methodology for probing the inherent mechanisms governing coexistence and mortality within forest ecosystems. Here,

Non-negligible role of dead organic matter in a rainforest remnant in Northeast Brazil [PDF]
Rodriguésia, 2022 Dead organic matter represents an essential reservoir of carbon, especially that allocated in standing dead trees, coarse woody debris, and fine litter, playing a pivotal role in nutrient cycling and habitat provisioning. However, necromass is frequently
