Young Generations’ Perception of Deadwood in Forest Landscapes: Insights from Turkish Students

South-East European Forestry
Recently, citizens’ perceptions toward deadwood in forests have become increasingly important in recreational forests for socially sustainable management. The present study aims to investigate how deadwood in forests is perceived by the young generations

Habitat selection of moose in Sweden in managed boreal forests with Pinus contorta and P. sylvestris

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Human land use can take advantage of using exotic species to increase financial benefits. However, the use of exotic tree species might affect ecosystem functioning, potentially including the habitat use and movement behaviour of animals, modifying their ecological impact, and interactions with human land use.

Climate change accelerates global forest deadwood dynamics

Communications Earth & Environment
The development of future forest deadwood is uncertain, as processes related to deadwood formation (i.e., tree growth and mortality) as well as deadwood decomposition are simultaneously impacted by climate change.

Addressing false negatives and positives in eDNA studies

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Environmental DNA (eDNA) has revolutionized the study of ecology and biodiversity, enabling species detection without direct observation in the environment. However, the implications of detection errors, specifically false positives and false negatives, are poorly reported in eDNA studies, significantly hindering our understanding of the ...

Tenure and academic deadwood [PDF]

Ethics in Science and Environmental Politics, 2016
The introduction of market forces into higher education (i.e. marketization) in recent decades goes along with a sharp decline in tenured positions offered, accompanied by polemic voices against tenure. The main claim, that tenure reduces the productivity of senior faculty, has not been thoroughly tested, with existing scarce evidence being ...

Sanitation felling against the European spruce bark beetle: A matter of intensity and forest type Tagli fitosanitari contro il bostrico tipografo: una questione di intensità e tipologia forestale

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
We assess the effect of sanitation felling performed in 2022 in North‐Eastern Italy on bark beetle damage that occurred in 2023 across eight spruce forest types, as evaluated using multispectral satellite imagery. Bark beetle damage was reduced only at very high or very low sanitation felling rates.

Temporal variability of deadwood volume and quality in boreal old-growth forests

Silva Fennica, 2011
Reference deadwood volumes from natural forests for forest management and restoration are often derived from one-time measurements or from repeated measurements over short time-scales.

Determining structure and volume of the European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) deadwood in managed stands in the Rodopi Mountain Range National Park, Greece

Folia Oecologica, 2022
The multifaceted role of deadwood in forest ecosystems has been widely recognized while it is regarded as an indicator of sustainable forest management. Nevertheless, there are hardly any data on deadwood volume and structure in managed forests in Greece.

Effects of restoration practices on biodiversity in temperate and boreal forests

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Several restoration practices are used to mitigate and compensate for the negative effects of large‐scale forestry on biodiversity in temperate and boreal forests. A comprehensive synthesis of the benefits of these practices across taxa is missing. We conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis on this topic.

Protecting temperate old‐growth forests as biotic microrefugia amid climate change

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Old‐growth forests are essential biotic microrefugia, providing high carbon storage, biodiversity, and stable microclimates that protect understorey species from climatic extremes. Their resilience to drought and disturbance makes them more effective than younger forests, yet habitat loss, fragmentation, and climate change increasingly threaten these ...
