Microbial metaproteome data from decayed beech dead wood [PDF]
Data in Brief, 2020 Wood-decomposition in terrestrial ecosystems is a very important process with huge ecologic consequences. This decomposition process is a combination of biological respiration, leaching and fragmentation, mainly triggered by organismic activities.

Factors Controlling Dead Wood Decomposition in an Old-Growth Temperate Forest in Central Europe [PDF]
Journal of Fungi, 2022 Dead wood represents an important pool of carbon and nitrogen in forest ecosystems. This source of soil organic matter has diverse ecosystem functions that include, among others, carbon and nitrogen cycling.

Fungal Transformation of Tree Stumps into a Suitable Resource for Xylophagous Beetles via Changes in Elemental Ratios [PDF]
Insects, 2016 The elements present in dead pine stumps inhabited by larvae of wood-boring beetles (Stictoleptura rubra, Arhopalus rusticus and Chalcophora mariana) were analyzed over the initial (first 5 years; a chronosequence) stages of wood decay. The quantities of

Higher fungal diversity is correlated with lower CO2 emissions from dead wood in a natural forest. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2016 Wood decomposition releases almost as much CO2 to the atmosphere as does fossil-fuel combustion, so the factors regulating wood decomposition can affect global carbon cycling.

No effect of lack of wood for acorn ant colonies development
The European Zoological Journal, 2021 Acorn ants mostly inhabit cavities in fallen twigs and hollow acorns. Such places, e.g., dead wood, provide an attractive living resource for many groups of microorganisms, like fungi and bacteria, which can be important for ants.
