Coarse Woody Debris in Primary and Secondary Middle Taiga Spruce Forests
Restoration of the pool of coarse woody debris after disturbances is one of the mechanisms for maintaining the stability of forest biogeocenoses. The studies of coarse woody debris have been carried out in the “Vepssky Forest” Reserve in the Leningrad ...

Woody debris (WD), including coarse woody debris (CWD) and fine woody debris (FWD), is an essential structural and functional component of forest ecosystems. This study was carried out in Caspian hardwood forest sites.

Effect of soil waterlogging on below-ground biomass allometric relations in Norway spruce [PDF]
An increasing importance is assigned to the estimation and verification of carbon stocks in forests. Forestry practice has several long-established and reliable methods for the assessment of aboveground biomass; however we still miss accurate predictors ...

Estimating Net Primary Productivity (NPP) and Debris-Fall in Forests Using Lidar Time Series
Temporal series of lidar, properly field-validated, can provide critical information allowing in-ferences about the dynamics of biomass and carbon in forest canopies.

Woody and arboreal habitats of the Green Salamander (Aneides aeneus) in the Blue Ridge Mountains [PDF]
The green salamander (Aneides aeneus) is primarily considered a rock crevice dwelling species. However, many early observations from Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia report A. aeneus taken from woody and arboreal habitats. There have been

Dead organic matter is important in carbon (C) sequestration because it accounts for a significant proportion of forest C storage. As thinning could alter the C storage of dead organic matter, this study aimed to assess the effect of thinning on the C ...

Dynamic Responses of Ground-Dwelling Invertebrate Communities to Disturbance in Forest Ecosystems
In forest ecosystems, natural and anthropogenic disturbances alter canopy structure, understory vegetation, amount of woody debris, and the properties of litter and soil layers.

Forest disturbance and recovery: A general review in the context of spaceborne remote sensing of impacts on aboveground biomass and canopy structure [PDF]
Abrupt forest disturbances generating gaps \u3e0.001 km2 impact roughly 0.4–0.7 million km2a−1. Fire, windstorms, logging, and shifting cultivation are dominant disturbances; minor contributors are land conversion, flooding, landslides, and avalanches ...

The transferability of single or joint species distribution models ((j)SDMs) depends on their ability to predict beyond the observed environmental range and to remain consistent despite shifts in biotic interactions. Transfer accuracy may be improved by recent advances in the application of deep learning that provide greater flexibility and potentially
