Dead wood quality influences species diversity of rare cryptogams in temperate broadleaved forests

open access: yesiForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2016
Dead wood is one of the most important indicators of forest naturalness and the most important manageable habitat for biodiversity in forests. Standing and lying dead wood, and especially coarse woody debris, plays an important part in creating habitats ...
