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.

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.

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 ...

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.

Effects of forest management on the diversity of deadwood-inhabiting fungi in Central European forests [PDF]

, 2013
Land use and land use change affect deadwood amount, quality and associated biodiversity in forest ecosystems. Old growth or virgin forests, which are exceptionally rare in temperate Europe harbor more deadwood and associated fungal species than managed ...

Modeling and monitoring injectivity evolution during cold CO2 injection with field evidence from aquistore carbon capture and storage operations

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This work integrates 5 years of field data from the Aquistore CCS project with a non‐isothermal THM modeling framework to explain how cold CO2 injection alters injectivity over time. The study shows that sustained cooling near the wellbore reduces effective stresses, promotes tensile micro‑cracking, and leads to semi‑reversible permeability enhancement
