Effect of woodstack structure on invertebrate abundance and diversity [PDF]
, 2013 Reduced quantities of dead wood in managed forests have resulted in a reduction in the abundance and diversity of saproxylic invertebrates to the extent that many are now considered red list species.

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.

Relative importance of habitat characteristics at multiple spatial scales for wood-dependent beetles in boreal forest [PDF]
, 2015 Species distributions are influenced by habitat conditions and ecological processes at multiple spatial scales. An understanding of the importance of habitat characteristics at different spatial scales is important when developing biodiversity ...

Effect of forest management on bryophyte communities – a review = Az erdőgazdálkodás hatása a mohaközösségekre - áttekintés [PDF]
, 2017 Bryophytes are related to the available substrates within the forest as open soil, rock outcrops, trunks and dead wood. As poikilohydric organisms, they are very sensitive to air humidity conditions.

Dynamics of dead wood decay in Swiss forests
Forest Ecosystems, 2020 Background Forests are an important component of the global carbon (C) cycle and can be net sources or sinks of CO2, thus mitigating or exacerbating the effects of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions.

The choice of definition has a large effect on reported quantities of dead wood in boreal forest [PDF]
, 2014 A survey was conducted to assess the impact of the choice of definition on reported quantities of dead wood in Swedish forests, which to more than 90% are located in the boreal zone.
