The effect of spruce plantation density on resilience of mixed forests in the Perm Krai [PDF]

, 2019
Over the course of the last few decades, many countries across the globe have experienced mass desiccation of spruce plantations. The subject of our research was the spruce forests of the Russian Perm Krai's mixed forest zone.

Full-scale experiments to examine the role of deadwood in rockfall dynamics in forests [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2022
Forests are rockfall-protective ecological infrastructures as a significant amount of kinetic energy is absorbed during consecutive rock–tree impacts.

People's attitudes towards deadwood in forest: evidence from the Ukrainian Carpathians

Journal of Forest Science, 2019
People's attitudes towards forest stand characteristics including deadwood are becoming increasingly relevant in sustainable forest management. The aim of this study is to investigate people's attitudes towards deadwood in forest.

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).

Enhancing Ecologically Sustainable Management of Deadwood in Kenya’s Natural Forests

International Journal of Forestry Research, 2021
The need for ecologically sustainable management of natural forests has assumed greater prominence in conservation and climate change discourses. However, the identification of deadwood, a critical component of natural forests, continues to receive ...

Deadwood in forest stands close to old-growthness under Mediterranean conditions in the Italian Peninsula [PDF]

, 2010
Considering that indicators of old-growth features can vary across the European ecoregions, this paper provides some results to identify the distinctive traits of old-growth forests in the Mediterranean ecoregion.

The biodiversity audit approach challenges regional priorities and identifies a mismatch in conservation [PDF]

, 2012
1. Despite a strong uptake of evidence-based approaches, conservation often proceeds from a grossly incomplete understanding of species priorities. To optimize conservation impact within a biogeographical region, quantitative knowledge is needed of the ...

Patterns of deadwood volume and dynamics in Slovenian forests

Acta Silvae et Ligni
Deadwood, and its temporal and spatial variation, plays an important role in several forest ecosystem services. This study demonstrates the assessment of deadwood dynamics using data from Slovenian national forest inventory permanent sampling ...

Ecological Divergence Within the Enterobacterial Genus Sodalis: From Insect Symbionts to Inhabitants of Decomposing Deadwood

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
The bacterial genus Sodalis is represented by insect endosymbionts as well as free-living species. While the former have been studied frequently, the distribution of the latter is not yet clear.
