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 ...

Low stocks of coarse woody debris in a southwest Amazonian forest
Oecologia, 2007The stocks and dynamics of coarse woody debris (CWD) are significant components of the carbon cycle within tropical forests. However, to date, there have been no reports of CWD stocks and fluxes from the approximately 1.3 million km(2) of lowland western Amazonian forests.

Concept and Classification of Coarse Woody Debris in Forest Ecosystems
Frontiers of Biology in China, 2006Coarse woody debris (CWD) is generally considered as dead woody materials in various stages of decomposition, including sound and rotting logs, snags, and large branches. CWD is an important functional and structural component of forested ecosystems and plays an important role in nutrient cycling, long-term carbon storage, tree regeneration, and ...

Point relascope sampling of downed coarse woody debris
Canadian Journal of Forest Research, 1999This paper presents a method based on angle-gauge sampling useful for inventorying downed coarse woody materialin forest stands. The method is closely related to transect relascope sampling, except that sample points are used rather than line transects. Theestimators for the total and per unit area are given along with theestimators of their variances.

A reanalysis of nutrient dynamics in coniferous coarse woody debris
Canadian Journal of Forest Research, 2001We analyzed net N, P, K, Ca, and Mg fluxes from decaying coarse woody debris (CWD) by developing a "volume-adjusted method" and applying it to existing chronosequence studies of CWD in temperate coniferous forests. Unadjusted nutrient concentrations may overestimate the amount of a given nutrient remaining or accumulating in CWD, because mass loss ...

Coarse woody debris in Australian forest ecosystems: A review
Austral Ecology, 2005Abstract Coarse woody debris (CWD) is the standing and fallen dead wood in a forest and serves an important role in ecosystem functioning. There have been several studies that include estimates of CWD in Australian forests but little synthesis of these results.

Coarse Woody Debris: Humans and Nature Competing for Trees
Journal of Forestry, 1999Abstract Dead wood is usually the last thing foresters and forest products companies want to see in their forests. However, before humans discovered so many practical uses of wood, dead and dying trees were basic to forest development. Not surprisingly, many plants and animals evolved dependencies on dead wood.

The influence of coarse woody debris on gravel beach geomorphology
Geomorphology, 2012Abstract Coarse woody debris (CWD) is an important component of fluvial systems affecting in-channel hydrology and sediment storage which in turn controls channel geometry and evolution. The role of coarse woody debris in coastal geomorphology is an emerging research field and this study investigates its role on mixed sand and gravel beach systems. A
