Coarse Woody Debris Legacies and Their Dynamics in Retained Forest Patches [PDF]

Forest Ecology and Management, 2023
Retaining trees in small patches at final harvest is a common forest conservation measure to maintain structural and biological diversity through the young forest phase. Long-term studies of coarse woody debris (CWD, breast height diameter ≥ 10 cm) changes in retention patches remain uncommon, especially in relation to different types of patches with ...

Dynamics of Picea abies mortality and CO2 and CH4 fluxes from spruce trees decomposition in the southwest of the Valdai Upland, Russia

Nature Conservation Research: Заповедная наука, 2023
A mass decline of Picea abies (hereinafter – spruce), often associated with outbreaks of Ips typographus, is one of the main reasons for the reduction of spruce forests.

The Mass Loss and Humification of Stumps and Roots in Masson Pine Plantations Based on Log File Records. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Stumps account for a large proportion of coarse woody debris in managed forests, but their decay dynamics are poorly understood. The loss of mass and the degree of humification of the above-ground woody debris, below-ground woody debris, bark and root ...

Coarse Woody Debris in Oak Woodlands of California [PDF]

Western Journal of Applied Forestry, 2002
Abstract An extensive forest inventory was conducted to estimate the amount and distribution of coarse woody debris (CWD) on 5.6 million ac of woodlands in California that are outside of national forests and reserved areas. Woodlands consist primarily of oak (Quercus spp.) types and are defined as forestland incapable of producing ...

Climatic regions as an indicator of forest coarse and fine woody debris carbon stocks in the United States

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.

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

Nutrient concentrations in coarse and fine woody debris of Populus tremuloides Michx.-dominated forests, northern Minnesota, USA

Silva Fennica, 2014
Contemporary forest harvesting practices, specifically harvesting woody biomass as a source of bioenergy feedstock, may remove more woody debris from a site than conventional harvesting.

Assessment of coarse woody debris following selective logging in Caspian forests: implications for conservation and management

Journal of Forest Science, 2013
Information on the amount, distribution, and characteristics of coarse woody debris (CWD) in forest ecosystems is highly demanded by wildlife biologists, fire specialists and ecologists.

The Role of Postfire Coarse Woody Debris in Aspen Regeneration [PDF]

Western Journal of Applied Forestry, 2001
Abstract The paucity of aspen (Populus tremuloides) regeneration in the western United States and on Yellowstone National Park's (YNP) northern range has been of concern to managers and scientists for much of the 20th century, with the effects of ungulate browsing, climate fluctuation, and fire suppression being vigorously debated.
