Resources of dead wood in the municipal forests in Warsaw

Leśne Prace Badawcze, 2015
Dead wood plays an important role for the biodiversity of forest ecosystems and influences their proper development. This study assessed the amount of coarse woody debris in municipal forests in Warsaw (central Poland).

Fungal communities in barren forest soil after amendment with different wood substrates and their possible effects on trees’, pathogens, insects and nematodes

Journal of Plant Protection Research, 2015
Scots pine sawdust, composted bark or coarse, post-harvest woody debris from conifers had been spread over the surface of barren forest soil before planting with Scots pine.

Out in the cold? A review of Early Middle Palaeolithic settlements in northern Central Europe, age data and geological preconditions for site formation and preservation

Boreas, EarlyView.
The characteristics of settlement of Neanderthals in northern Central Europe during the earlier phases of the Middle Palaeolithic (Marine Isotope Stage 8–6) have been a matter of debate for decades, specifically regarding the population dynamics at such latitudes during the coldest phases. In this paper, we review the known archaeological record of the

Natural regeneration on coarse woody debris

, 2016
In the Pacific Northwest temperate forest, coarse woody debris provides a great substrate for natural regeneration of many conifer species. Logs in decay class III and IV are most suitable for seedling growth. Seedling establishment and early survival rate are higher on nurse logs than on forest floors because of favorable microsite and seedbed ...

Changing climates and environments within the complex Middle to Late Pleistocene fill of an overdeepened valley at Niederweningen, Switzerland

Boreas, EarlyView.
Glacially overdeepened valleys in the northern Alpine Foreland preserve Middle to Late Pleistocene sedimentary sequences that may serve as valuable archives for reconstructing past environmental changes in response to shifts in climate. This study presents a multidisciplinary analysis of two sediment cores from the overdeepened Wehntal Valley at ...

Lodge moraines: a common yet underreported end‐moraine type—a review

Boreas, EarlyView.
Lodge moraines are a distinct genetic type of end moraine formed by submarginal accretion of subglacial till; they are some of the largest end moraines in the world. Although underreported in the literature, they are of equal importance to push, dump and hummocky end moraines. End moraines are formed at glacier ice margins and show the extent of former

Regeneration processes on coarse woody debris in mixed forests: do tree germinants and seedlings have species‐specific responses when grown on coarse woody debris? [PDF]

Journal of Ecology, 2016
Summary Tree regeneration on coarse woody debris (CWD) is considered to be one the most ecologically valuable aspects of CWD in forest systems. However, most studies have focused solely on uncovering the differences in establishment and growth on CWD (regarded as a homogeneous substrate) in comparison with the forest floor.

Landscape and Geography Determine Saproxylic Beetle Captures in Pheromone‐Baited Traps

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Pheromone‐baited traps at 39 forest sites across southern Sweden captured 58 saproxylic beetle species, including seven Red‐listed taxa. The effect of surrounding forest cover on beetle abundance may depend on latitude and longitude: positive effects were strongest in warmer southern and eastern regions but weakened or reversed in colder northwestern ...

Coarse woody debris increases microbial functional diversity in reclaimed soils

, 2015
Microbial communities are important indicators of soil quality and ecosystem productivity in both natural and reclaimed ecosystems. The presence of diverse microbial communities promotes decomposition of organic materials and, in turn, the cycling of ...
