Remote Sensing Boreal Coarse Woody Debris

, 2019
Coarse woody debris (CWD) are vital components of forested environments, affecting the physical structure and biochemistry of forests, supplying habitats, nutrients and food for many organisms. Additionally, CWD is an especially important element in boreal forest management in Alberta, Canada.

Analysis of diversity of wood-inhabiting fungi retrieved from a Mediterranean forest dominated by Pinus pinaster Aiton

Italian Journal of Mycology, 2016
The present paper is focused on the diversity of wood-inhabiting fungi in a poorly investigated habitat: a Mediterranean forest dominated by maritime pine.

Linking EU habitat and species protection through favourable reference areas: Evidence from threatened saproxylic beetles

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Threatened saproxylic beetles occurred significantly more often within EU forest habitats and in landscapes with high habitat density. Achieving Favourable Reference Areas substantially increased habitat availability and improved the projected conservation status of threatened saproxylic beetles.

Deep learning-based coarse woody debris biomass estimation from mobile lidar [PDF]

, 2023
Coarse woody debris is essential to the structure and function of forested ecosystems. It plays a role in carbon and nutrient cycling, soil health, and hydrological processes, and it provides a heterogeneous substrate for the development of forest soils,

Conifer host identity shapes wood‐boring beetle communities more than climate across a latitudinal forest gradient in Quebec (Canada)

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Host tree identity and latitude shaped wood‐boring beetle assemblages, with species richness declining northward but community composition varying among regions and hosts. Host tree species influenced beetle communities more strongly than climate; black spruce supported the most species, while eastern hemlock hosted very few.

Prickly Skink (Gnypetoscincus queenslandiae) use of supplemental coarse woody debris in rainforest restoration sites

, 2021
Coarse woody debris (CWD) is a critical resource for some rainforest reptiles but is slow to develop in restoration sites. In four restoration plantings in north Queensland, Australia, salvaged log and fence post piles were added to facilitate the return

Points vs. passes: A comparison between electric fishing techniques for sampling fish populations in upland headwater streams

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Point‐abundance sampling by electric fishing (PASE) was compared with single‐pass (DF1) and triple‐pass depletion sampling (DF3) electric fishing on the same reaches of four headwater streams sampled over multiple years in the Ribble catchment, UK. Juvenile salmonids, mostly brown trout Salmo trutta with some Atlantic salmon S.

Dead wood profile of a semi-natural boreal forest – implications for sampling

Silva Fennica, 2019
Dead wood profile of a forest is a useful tool for describing forest characteristics and assessing forest disturbance history. Nevertheless, there are few studies on dead wood profiles, including both coarse and fine dead wood, and on the effect of ...

Wood density and carbon concentration of coarse woody debris in native forests, Brazil

Forest Ecosystems, 2019
Background With the objective of increasing knowledge on biomass and carbon stocks, and thus improving the accuracy of published estimates, the present study explored wood density and carbon concentration of coarse woody debris (diameter ≥10) by decay ...
