Coarse Woody Debris: Humans and Nature Competing for Trees

Journal of Forestry, 1999
Abstract 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.

Coarse woody debris facilitates oak recruitment in Białowieża Primeval Forest, Poland

Forest Ecology and Management, 2012
While oaks contribute to the ecology and economy of temperate lowland forests, recruitment into larger size classes is generally scarce. Ungulate herbivory is a limiting factor for tree recruitment, thus natural structures protecting against ungulates may be important for recruitment success.

Low stocks of coarse woody debris in a southwest Amazonian forest

Oecologia, 2007
The 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.

Foraging association between myxomycetes and fungal communities on coarse woody debris

Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2018
Myxomycetes are one of the major microbial predator groups found in detrital food webs within terrestrial ecosystems. They are typical inhabitants of coarse woody debris (CWD).

Sampling downed coarse woody debris in fire-prone eucalypt woodlands

Forest Ecology and Management, 2010
Downed coarse woody debris (DCWD) plays an important role in ecosystem processes and should be considered in land management decisions. Unfortunately accurate quantification of its abundance is difficult, due to its patchy distribution. This is especially problematic in woodland ecosystems where DCWD is relatively scarce, unevenly distributed and ...

Coarse woody debris in a Carpathian subalpine spruce forest

Forstwissenschaftliches Centralblatt, 2001
Number, volume and size of snags, broken and uprooted trees as well as advancement of their decomposition and arrangement were analysed in a subalpine spruce forest in the Babia Gora massif (West Carpathians). The most important results are: 1. The amount of coarse woody debris noted on Babia Gora was among the highest in subalpine spruce forests,

A distance limited method for sampling downed coarse woody debris

Forest Ecology and Management, 2012
A new sampling method for down coarse woody debris is proposed based on limiting the perpendicular distance from individual pieces to a randomly chosen sample point. Two approaches are presented that allow different protocols to be used to determine field measurements; estimators for each protocol are also developed.

Variable responses of non-native and native ants to coarse woody debris removal following forest bioenergy harvests

Forest Ecology and Management, 2018
Timber harvests may facilitate ant invasions of forested landscapes, fostering interactions between non-native and native ants. Harvests that include removal of low-value woody biomass as forest bioenergy feedstock may reduce residual coarse woody debris,

FLOW DISTURBANCE CAUSED BY CROSS-STREAM COARSE WOODY DEBRIS

Physical Geography, 2001
Coarse woody debris affects many streams in forested regions throughout the world. These effects include lateral channel migration, bank slumping, and aggradational or erosional features related to flow redirection. The extent of effect is dependent on the ability of the system to resist the new forces derived from flow redirection.

Decomposition of Pinus radiata coarse woody debris in New Zealand

Forest Ecology and Management, 2008
Abstract The decomposition of Pinus radiata (D. Don) stems, coarse woody roots and stumps was studied in Tarawera forest, Bay of Plenty region, North Island, New Zealand. The study examined the residues from two thinning events with 6 and 11 years of decay.
