Decomposition of coarse woody debris in a long-term litter manipulation experiment: A focus on nutrient availability [PDF]
, 2018 The majority of above-ground carbon in tropical forests is stored in wood, which is returned to the atmosphere during decomposition of coarse woody debris.

Coarse Woody Debris Variability Due to Human Accessibility to Forest [PDF]
Forests, 2018 Coarse woody debris (CWD) plays an important role in supporting biodiversity and assisting ecological processes. Sometimes local people intervene modifying the expected distribution of CWD components, harvested as fuel wood. The effect of the human accessibility (HA) on the volume and characteristics of CWD (snag, downed log and stump) was investigated

Relationships between coarse woody debris habitat quality and forest maturity attributes
Conservation Science and Practice, 2019 Coarse woody debris (CWD) is an important contributor to forest biodiversity because it provides essential habitat for saproxylic (dead wood‐dependent) species.

Structure of coarse woody debris in Lange-Leitn Natural Forest Reserve, Austria
Journal of Forest Science, 2008 The amount, variability and quality of coarse woody debris (CWD) in an oak-dominated natural forest reserve in Austria were studied in 2006. The average volume of CWD (snags and logs) was 107.3 m3/ha, which accounted for 39% of the total living volume ...

Coarse woody debris carbon stocks in natural spruce forests of Babia hora
Journal of Forest Science, 2010 Although coarse woody debris (CWD) represents one of the major carbon pools in natural forest ecosystems, little information is available about its CWD carbon stocks.

Wood density and carbon concentration of coarse woody debris in native forests, Brazil
Forest Ecosystems, 2019 Background With the objective of increasing knowledge on biomass and carbon stocks, and thus improving the accuracy of published estimates, the present study explored wood density and carbon concentration of coarse woody debris (diameter ≥10) by decay ...

Temperature Sensitivity of CO2 and CH4 Fluxes from Coarse Woody Debris in Northern Boreal Forests
Forests, 2021 Carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) are recognized as the main greenhouse gases causing climate warming. In forest ecosystems, the death of trees leads to the formation of coarse woody debris (CWD) that is one of the sources of greenhouse gas ...

Changes in plant debris and carbon stocks across a subalpine forest successional series
Forest Ecosystems, 2021 Background As a structurally and functionally important component in forest ecosystems, plant debris plays a crucial role in the global carbon cycle. Although it is well known that plant debris stocks vary greatly with tree species composition, forest ...
