Urbanization filters woodpecker assemblages: Habitat specialization limits population abundance of dead wood dependent organisms in the urban landscape

open access: yesGlobal 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 ...

Carbon and nitrogen stocks in dead wood of tropical lowland forests as dependent on wood decay stages and land-use intensity

open access: yesAnnals of Forest Research, 2016
Rapid transformation of natural forests into other land-use systems in the lowlands of Sumatra, Indonesia, strongly reduces total aboveground biomass and affects nutrient cycling.

Network analysis reveals ecological links between N-fixing bacteria and wood-decaying fungi. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Nitrogen availability in dead wood is highly restricted and associations with N-fixing bacteria are thought to enable wood-decaying fungi to meet their nitrogen requirements for vegetative and generative growth.

Dead wood profile of a semi-natural boreal forest – implications for sampling

open access: yesSilva Fennica, 2019
Dead wood profile of a forest is a useful tool for describing forest characteristics and assessing forest disturbance history. Nevertheless, there are few studies on dead wood profiles, including both coarse and fine dead wood, and on the effect of ...
