When One Walks through the rather dull and tidy woodlands — say in the managed portions of the New Forest in Hampshire — that result from modern forestry practices, it is difficult to believe that dying and dead wood provides one of the two or three greatest resources for animal species in a natural forest, and that if fallen timber and slightly ...

Measuring the Decomposition of Down Dead-Wood
2008Down and dead-wood plays an important ecological role in forest ecosystems, and the decomposition of this material may contribute significantly to forest net ecosystem production. Dead-wood decomposition can be measured in three ways: measuring variability in density over a chronosequence of dead-wood, measuring density changes during a time series of ...

Ants: Ecology and Impacts in Dead Wood
2018Although rarely considered as a saproxylic insect group, ants are an important, highly abundant insect taxon in dead wood environments worldwide. Ants directly impact the dead wood environment primarily through nesting in standing dead trees, logs, stumps, and coarse and fine woody materials, contributing to the physical breakdown of woody materials ...

Saproxylic Insects and the Dilemmas of Dead Wood
2018Trees die, branches fall, and forestry operations generate discarded branches, remnant stumps, logs and smaller woody materials that may be abandoned or for which harvest is delayed. Changing attitudes toward woody debris in forests have increasingly incorporated considerations of its wider values in conservation.

The improvement of scientific knowledge to be used to define relevant retention practices of dead wood in favour of saproxylic diversity, is really at stake in the Western European Nemoral forest context. The RESINE project (2006-2009) aims at assessing, in a pluri-disciplinary framework: (i) the social representation of dead wood by different forest ...

Dead wood in agricultural and urban habitats
2012Dead wood and saproxylic species do not occur only in forests. A rich saproxylic community also inhabits dead wood in habitats created by people, both in agricultural and urban landscapes, such as pasture woodlands and parks. Human-maintained habitats can provide important sites, or even the last footholds, for surprisingly many rare saproxylic species.

What's new about dead and veteran trees and dead wood?
2010Dans cet atelier, il n'était évidemment pas question de parcourir à nouveau ce qui a constitué le programme général du précédent colloque organisé par le WWWF en 2004 à Chambéry, mais plutôt de porter les débats sur l'évolution récente des connaissances, des pratiques, des perceptions, voire des enjeux sur ce thème.

Life in the dead: biodiversity in dead wood along macro- and microclimatic gradients [PDF]
Climate is a major driver of biodiversity at both large and small spatial scales. My research focuses on the diversity of saproxylic (= dead wood dependent) species across macro- and microclimatic gradients in both forested and urban areas. I sampled beetles, fungi, and bacteria from spruce logs placed out in production forests along a 1200 km ...
