Wood and the Activity of Dead Tissue
Advanced Materials, 2020 AbstractWood is a prototypical biological material, which adapts to mechanical requirements. The microarchitecture of cellulose fibrils determines the mechanical properties of woody materials, as well as their actuation properties, based on absorption and desorption of water. Herein it is argued that cellulose fiber orientation corresponds to an analog

Nutritional dynamics during the development of xylophagous beetles related to changes in the stoichiometry of 11 elements [PDF]
, 2016 The present study examines the adaptive strategy used by wood-boring beetles to compensate for the lack of nutrients in dead wood. The contents of nutritional elements in growing wood-boring beetles (Stictoleptura rubra L. and Chalcophora mariana Dejean)

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

Resources of dead wood in the municipal forests in Warsaw
Leśne Prace Badawcze, 2015 Dead wood plays an important role for the biodiversity of forest ecosystems and influences their proper development. This study assessed the amount of coarse woody debris in municipal forests in Warsaw (central Poland).

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