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 ...

[Coarse woody debris and its function in forest ecosystem].
Ying yong sheng tai xue bao = The journal of applied ecology, 2001Coarse woody debris (CWD) is an important structural and functional element in forest ecosystem. In this paper, the definition, dynamics, and role of CWD in a forest ecosystem were overviewed. CWD include all woody debris above and under the ground with a diameters > or = 2.5 cm, and mainly comes from the dead trees resulted from competition and ...

Ant colonization and coarse woody debris decomposition in temperate forests
Insectes Sociaux, 2011Ants are ubiquitous, abundant and have widespread impacts on ecological communities and ecosystem processes. However, ant effects on coarse woody debris decomposition are unexplored. Several ant species colonize coarse woody debris for nesting, and this puts them in contact with fauna and microbes that utilize coarse woody debris as habitat and food ...

Dynamics of Coarse Woody Debris Placed in Three Oregon Streams
Forest Science, 2000Abstract Many streams of the North American west coast are deficient in coarse woody debris (CWD) and have been subjected to aquatic habitat restoration by adding CWD. The ready availability of alder (Alnus rubra Bong.) CWD makes it attractive for such uses, but the dynamics of this relatively small debris are poorly understood.

Experimental Investigation On Open Check Dams For Coarse Woody Debris Control
2000The hydrodynamic behaviour of the floating woody debris is analysed in relation to trapping efficiency of an open check dam. Physical model tests have been carried out in a flume consisting of three sub-reaches with different slope: a log feeding zone, a transfer reach, a detention zone upstream of the check dam openings. The change of flow regime from
