Occurrence of termites (Isoptera) on living and standing dead trees in a tropical dry forest in Mexico [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Termites play a key role as ecosystem engineers in numerous ecological processes though their role in the dynamics of wood degradation in tropical dry forests, particularly at the level of the crown canopy, has been little studied.

Postfire dynamics of standing dead tree stock in northern boreal forests [PDF]
BIO Web of Conferences, 2022 Wildfire is one of the main forest disturbing factors in the boreal zone of Siberia that can cause significant changes in tree stands dynamics. Tree mortality caused by fire can significantly increase a standing dead tree pool that is one of the poorly ...

Non-negligible role of dead organic matter in a rainforest remnant in Northeast Brazil [PDF]
Rodriguésia, 2022 Dead organic matter represents an essential reservoir of carbon, especially that allocated in standing dead trees, coarse woody debris, and fine litter, playing a pivotal role in nutrient cycling and habitat provisioning. However, necromass is frequently

Thermal Profiles of Chainsaw Hollows and Natural Hollows during Extreme Heat Events
Biology, 2023 Loss of hollow-bearing trees threatens many hollow-dependent wildlife. To mitigate this process, artificial chainsaw-carved hollows (CHs) are often created in dead trees, yet little is known about their thermal profiles.

Use of fallen dead trees by Japanese squirrels within cedar plantations in northeastern Japan
iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2023 Deadwood in forests plays a critical role in maintaining the ecological functions. Small mammals use deadwood, and thus deadwood can mitigate the negative impacts of plantation on small mammals. This study focused on fallen dead trees in planted forests,
