Decomposition dynamics of coarse woody debris of three important central European tree species
Background Coarse woody debris (CWD) is an important element of forest structure that needs to be considered when managing forests for biodiversity, carbon storage or bioenergy. To manage it effectively, dynamics of CWD decomposition should be known.

Assessing working lands as habitat for disturbance‐dependent birds using autonomous recording units
Abstract Introduction Working lands can provide habitat for declining disturbance‐dependent birds, such as Bachman's Sparrow (Peucaea aestivalis) and Northern Bobwhite (Colinus virginianus), but it remains unclear whether restoration following intensive land use (e.g. surface mining) yields habitat comparable to less intensive land uses (e.g.

FIELD INVESTIGATION FOCUSED ON FORMATION IN BARS FOR THE WOODY DEBRIS BEHAVIOR AFTER A SMALL SCALE RAIN EVENT [PDF]
Woody debris flow causes various damage at the time of a flood. One of the causes of river channel blockade, dropped bridge and a fishing net damage is the woody debris flow.

ABSTRACT Shelf‐edge deltas are commonly interpreted to record basinward facies migration across uninterrupted, gently dipping shelf margins; however, examples from mixed siliciclastic‐carbonate margins reveal more complex depositional dynamics. Periods and areas of carbonate sedimentation within mixed siliciclastic‐carbonate margins can modify shelf ...

Developing a systematic sampling method for earthworms in and around deadwood
Background The ecological importance of deadwood is widely acknowledged, however popular forestry practices may reduce deadwood from a site, and most European forests now fall below recommended targets, putting deadwood-associated species at risk.

Influence of Site Amplification Approaches in PSRA: Insights From Five Different Cities
Regional and national seismic hazard models used in probabilistic seismic risk analysis often rely on generalized proxy‐based site terms to account for ground shaking amplification. This can result in coarse representations of site response, which can introduce bias or additional uncertainty in the associated risk results.

Proximity to coarse woody debris increases reptile presence in an Australian subtropical rainforest remnant [PDF]
The persistence of Australia's forest herpetofauna communities depends on the availability of spatially heterogeneous microhabitats. The composition of these communities is directly related to the availability of complex structures such as coarse woody ...

Wildfire Emissions From European Boreal Fuels: Effects of Fuel Type and Moisture Content
ABSTRACT The increasing severity of wildfires poses significant challenges through the release of greenhouse gases and other harmful gases and particles. Although field measurements exist, there is a lack of systematic data collection to understand the influence of moisture content on the particle and gas emissions of boreal fuels, particularly for ...
