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

open access: yesNature 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.

Forest stand structure and coarse woody debris determine the biodiversity of beetle communities in Mediterranean mountain beech forests

open access: yes, 2021
The relationships between structural complexity, deadwood abundance, microhabitat type and species-diversity indicators are excellent tools to monitor biodiversity in forest ecosystems. In spite of their importance, correlations between structural traits

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

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...

Sampling coarse woody debris along spoked transects [PDF]

open access: yesForestry, 2010
Summary Line transects are commonly used for sampling coarse woody debris (CWD). The USDA Forest Service Forest Inventory and Analysis programme uses a variant of this method that involves sampling for CWD along transects that radiate from the centre of a circular plot-like spokes on a wheel.

Characteristics of deadwood and implications for biodiversity in Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) planted forests in Italy

open access: yesTrees, Forests and People, 2022
The aim of the present study is to define a set of indicators to measure the stand diversity of Douglas fir planted forests with special regard to deadwood attributes related to biodiversity conservation.

Estimating Coarse Woody Debris Volume Using Image Analysis and Multispectral LiDAR

open access: yesForests, 2020
Coarse woody debris (CWD, parts of dead trees) is an important factor in forest management, given its roles in promoting local biodiversity and unique microhabitats, as well as providing carbon storage and fire fuel.

Coarse woody debris: Managing benefits and fire hazard in the recovering forest [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Management of coarse woody debris following fire requires consideration of its positive and negative values. The ecological benefits of coarse woody debris and fire hazard considerations are summarized.

Coarse Woody Debris in Oak Woodlands of California [PDF]

open access: yesWestern 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 ...

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

open access: yesSilva 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.

Airborne and Terrestrial Laser Scanning Data for the Assessment of Standing and Lying Deadwood: Current Situation and New Perspectives [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
LiDAR technology is finding uses in the forest sector, not only for surveys in producing forests but also as a tool to gain a deeper understanding of the importance of the three-dimensional component of forest environments.
