Fossils document the existence of trees and wood-associated organisms from almost 400 million years ago, and today there are between 400,000 and 1 million wood-inhabiting species in the world. This is the first book to synthesise the natural history and conservation needs of wood-inhabiting organisms.

1966
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 ...

Size matters in studies of dead wood and wood-inhabiting fungi
Fungal Ecology, 2011Abstract Because biased biodiversity surveys may result in ineffective use of conservation or research resources it is important that measures for biodiversity are accurate. In forest ecosystems wood-inhabiting fungi are an ecologically important species group. We addressed the question whether or not the traditional methodology to survey only coarse

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 ...

Insect-Fungus Interactions in Dead Wood Systems
2018Fungi can provide insects with nutrients and essential elements, detoxify plant defenses in recently dead wood, and protect or, in contrast, attack and digest insects. Insects can affect fungi through feeding or propagule dispersal. Fungal grazing may induce changes in fungal chemistry, morphology, and growth.

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 ...

Assessing Dead Wood by Airborne Laser Scanning
2013This chapter reviews the existing research concerning coarse woody debris (CWD) characterization by means of airborne laser scanning (ALS) data. The research so far has concentrated on modelling and mapping CWD on different scales, from single tree to stands, and to the use of ALS as auxiliary data in sampling-based inventories. In general the accuracy

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.
