The importance of large-diameter trees to the creation of snag and deadwood biomass
Ecological Processes, 2021 Background Baseline levels of tree mortality can, over time, contribute to high snag densities and high levels of deadwood (down woody debris) if fire is infrequent and decomposition is slow. Deadwood can be important for tree recruitment, and it plays a

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Deadwood is an important structural and functional component of forest ecosystems and biodiversity. As deadwood can make up large portions of the total aboveground biomass, it plays an important role in the terrestrial carbon (C) cycle.

Deadwood in logged-over Dipterocarp forests of Borneo [PDF]
, 2016 Deadwood is an important stock of carbon in logged-over Dipterocarp forests but still remains poorly studied. Here we present the study of deadwood in logged-over Dipterocarp forests using two common approaches: plot-based approach and line-intersect ...

Contrasting multi-taxa diversity patterns between abandoned and non-intensively managed forests in the southern Dolomites [PDF]
, 2017 The abandonment of silvicultural activities can lead to changes in species richness and composition of biological communities, when compared to those found in managed forests.
