Ecology of species living on dead wood – lessons for dead wood management [PDF]
Dead wood has been identified as a crucial component for forest biodiversity. Recent research has improved our understanding of habitat relations for many species associated with dead wood. However, the consequences for forest management are yet to be

Dead wood volume to dead wood carbon: the issue of conversion factors [PDF]
Requirements for emission reporting under the Kyoto protocol demand an estimate of the dead wood carbon pool in forests. The volume of dead wood consists of coarse woody debris, smaller woody debris and dead roots. The measurement of dead wood volume was

Lost in dead wood? Environmental DNA sequencing from dead wood shows little signs of saproxylic beetles [PDF]
eDNA metabarcoding has become a standard method for assessing wood‐inhabiting fungi and bacteria, yet determination of dead‐wood‐inhabiting beetles still relies on time‐consuming collection of beetle specimens.

Niche partitioning among dead wood-dependent beetles. [PDF]
AbstractNiche partitioning among species with virtually the same requirements is a fundamental concept in ecology. Nevertheless, some authors suggest that niches have little involvement in structuring communities. This study was done in the Pardubice Region (Czech Republic) on saproxylic beetles with morphologically similar larvae and very specific ...

Stocks and Productivity of Dead Wood in Mangrove Forests: A Systematic Literature Review
The functional and ecological importance of dead wood in terrestrial forests is widely recognized and researched. In contrast, much less is known about dead wood in mangrove forests, despite its known or demonstrated contribution to key ecological ...

The importance of dead wood in forest ecosystems for the existence of invertebrates has been widely discussed in the literature. The major aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that the presence of dead wood in forests considerably increases the ...

Dead wood is an important microhabitat for Uropodina mites (Acari: Mesostigmata). Earlier research has shown that dead wood contains about 1/3 of the Uropodina found so far in Poland, and its presence increases the overall biodiversity of forest ...

Estimation of coarse dead wood stocks in intact and degraded forests in the Brazilian Amazon using airborne lidar [PDF]
Coarse dead wood is an important component of forest carbon stocks, but it is rarely measured in Amazon forests and is typically excluded from regional forest carbon budgets.

Although urban landscapes are regarded as unsuitable for dead wood dependent organisms, some species, including woodpeckers, commonly occur in cities. As the availability of trees and dead wood resources is a primary dimension of the habitat-niche for ...
