Coarse woody type: A new method for analyzing coarse woody debris and forest change
Forest Ecology and Management, 2006The species composition of both standing live and down dead trees has been used separately to determine forest stand dynamics in large-scale forest ecosystem assessments. The species composition of standing live trees has been used to indicate forest stand diversity while the species composition of down dead trees has been used to indicate wildlife ...

Assessment of Coarse Woody Debris
1998In this paper, different probability sampling methods for assessing coarse woody debris (CWD) are compared. The methods are circular plot sampling, strip surveying, line intersect sampling, and transect relascope sampling. The two latter methods are suited primarily for the assessment of CWD on the ground.

Coarse woody debris in forest regions of Russia
Canadian Journal of Forest Research, 2002To assess regional stores of coarse woody debris (CWD) in seven major forest regions of Russia, we combined data collected as part of the routine forest inventory with measurements in 1044 sample plots and the results of density sampling of 922 dead trees. The stores of CWD in the western part of Russia (St.

Analysis of sampling methods for coarse woody debris
Forest Ecology and Management, 2004Abstract Coarse woody debris (CWD) is an important structural component of forest ecosystems and plays a key role in ecosystem functioning. It includes whole fallen trees and branches, pieces of fragmented wood, stumps, and standing dead trees (snags). A number of sampling approaches have been used to quantify CWD but there has been little systematic

Ecological functions of coarse woody debris in forest ecosystem
Journal of Forestry Research, 2005Coarse woody debris is an important structure and function unit in forest ecosystem. This review analyzed the ecological functions of coarse woody debris in forest ecosystem and introduced several hotspots and existing problems in coarse woody debris research field.

Coarse Woody Debris Quantity and Distribution in Central European Streams
International Review of Hydrobiology, 2000Summarized here are ten investigations concerning the volume of coarse woody debris (CWD) in Central European streams. Altogether, 69 stream sections were examined ranging from Northern German lowland streams to brooks in alpine regions. Most of the study streams are according to Central European standards quasi-natural and are bordered by deciduous ...

Dendroecological Applications to Coarse Woody Debris Dynamics
2017Coarse woody debris plays a crucial role in forest ecosystems. The current amount of woody debris on a given site represents a balance between additions (tree mortality) and depletions (wood decomposition, combustion, transport). Understanding woody debris dynamics has recently gained much attention, primarily because of the need to improve forest ...

Ecology of Coarse Woody Debris in Temperate Ecosystems
1986Publisher Summary This chapter reviews the rates at which Coarse Woody Debris (CWD) is added and removed from ecosystems, the biomass found in streams and forests, and many functions that CWD serves. CWD is an important component of temperate stream and forest ecosystems and is added to the ecosystem by numerous mechanisms, including wind, fire ...
