Aboveground Deadwood Biomass and Composition Along Elevation and Land-Use Gradients at Mount Kilimanjaro [PDF]
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.

• The deadwood volume across Switzerland has increased to 32 cubic metres per hectare in the past decade, meaning that this forest policy objective has been achieved in most regions. On the Plateau, however, there is less than 20 cubic metres of deadwood per hectare in some regions.• Both values are sufficient only for species with low deadwood ...

Elevational Habitat Associations of Tree Species and Deadwood in Ephemeral Streams of the Namib Desert. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe research presents an in‐depth spatial study of three tree species that grow along ephemeral streams in the arid and hyper‐arid western part of Namibia. The trees form a linear oasis in major streams like the Kuiseb River and provide important shelter and habitat for a variety of plant and animal species. ABSTRACT In arid and hyper‐arid regions with

Looking for Earthworms in Deadwood [PDF]
Frontiers for Young Minds, 2020 Fallen branches, logs, and tree stumps are a valuable habitat in forests, giving food and shelter to many organisms, including earthworms. Unfortunately, deadwood is often removed from forests because its value is not fully appreciated. We wanted to overcome this by developing a sampling method for earthworms living in deadwood in forests.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Deadwood decomposition is responsible for a significant amount of carbon (C) turnover in natural forests. While fresh deadwood contains mainly plant compounds and is extremely low in nitrogen (N), fungal biomass and N content increase during ...

Modelling of forest decluttering technology along with estimation of deadwood amount [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2019 A technology has been proposed for cleaning the forest from deadwood along with an evaluation of its total amount on the site (CFD). The basis of the deadwood quantitative evaluation is the linear intersection sampling (LIS).
