Coarse Woody Debris in Primary and Secondary Middle Taiga Spruce Forests

open access: yesЛесной журнал
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 ...

Effects of Management on the Amount and Characteristics of Woody Debris in Mixed Stands of Caspian Forests

open access: yesBioResources, 2014
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]

open access: yes, 2010
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

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2021
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]

open access: yes, 2003
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

Change in Soil and Forest Floor Carbon after Shelterwood Harvests in a New England Oak-Hardwood Forest, USA

open access: yesInternational Journal of Forestry Research, 2014
There has been effort worldwide to quantify how much carbon forests contain in order to designate appropriate offset credits to forest carbon climate mitigation.

Impact of thinning on carbon storage of dead organic matter across larch and oak stands in South Korea

open access: yesiForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2016
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

open access: yesInsects, 2019
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]

open access: yes, 2009
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 ...

Harnessing the power of machine and deep learning for transferring joint species distribution models considering the structure of biotic interactions

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
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
