Carbon fractions in the world’s dead wood [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2021 Tree mortality is increasing with climate change, which suggests that the biomass of dead wood is likely becoming more and more important to the global carbon cycle.

Ecology of species living on dead wood – lessons for dead wood management [PDF]
Silva Fennica, 2005 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

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.

Wood and the Activity of Dead Tissue
Advanced Materials, 2020 AbstractWood is a prototypical biological material, which adapts to mechanical requirements. The microarchitecture of cellulose fibrils determines the mechanical properties of woody materials, as well as their actuation properties, based on absorption and desorption of water. Herein it is argued that cellulose fiber orientation corresponds to an analog

Urban Studies and Public Administration, 2023 According to the Practice Guide of Managing deadwood in forests and woodlands, all types of dead and dying trees of 10 cm or more in diameter are recognised as deadwood. Dead wood is very important to the health of the forest, and this is increasingly recognized by environmentalists and ecologists.

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022 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 ...

Dead wood fungi in North America: an insight into research and conservation potential [PDF]
Nature Conservation, 2019 Saproxylic fungi act as keystone species in forest ecosystems because they colonise and decompose dead wood, facilitating colonisation by later species.
