Quantity and quality of deadwood in the mid-successional stage in oriental Beech (Fagus orientalis Lipsky) stands (Case study: Kheyrood forest, Nowshahr) [PDF]

تحقیقات جنگل و صنوبر ایران, 2016
Deadwood is widely recog­nized as an extremely important structural and functional component of forest communities. Therefore, understanding its role and dynamics are important to improve forest management strategies in both managed and unmanaged forests.

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.

Deadwood Diversity of Boreal and Sub-boreal Old-growth Forests in Southern Finland

South-East European Forestry
In the last century, old-growth forests in boreal and sub-boreal zone have decreased, along with their contribution to biological diversity. In order to carry on management strategies aimed at maintaining deadwood diversity in old-growth forests, it is ...

Temperate forest heterogeneity decreases local and landscape‐scale spider diversity through habitat filtering despite increasing species turnover

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
In a large‐scale German forest experiment, habitat heterogeneity increased spider turnover but reduced local alpha diversity through habitat filtering. Together, these effects lowered landscape‐scale spider diversity. As such, the study shows whether environmental heterogeneity increases or decreases biodiversity depends on the balance between habitat ...

Distance-dependent indices to assess deadwood diversity in forest ecosystems: an application in the Italian Alps

Forest Systems
Aim of study: To evaluate the effectiveness of distance-dependent indices in characterizing deadwood diversity at stand level. Area of study: Four forest types in the Italian Alps (Trentino Alto Adige region): Norway spruce, mixed Silver fir–Norway ...

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.

Synthesis of Pollinator‐Friendly Management in European Protected Areas

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Effectiveness of pollinator‐friendly management in European protected areas. Abstract Pollinators are important to humans and nature due to their role in ecosystem functioning and services. Research on the effects of pollinator management in protected areas is insufficient compared with that on farmlands and urban areas, potentially hindering ...

Deadwood carbon pool and uncertainty estimates: effects of decay status and vegetation types

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change
Deadwood carbon pool is a crucial component of forest ecosystems and the global carbon cycle. Assessing of deadwood carbon is challenging due to variability in decay status, species and disturbances in tropical forests.

Management and tree dieback alter beetle assemblage structure and body size distribution in a temperate German forest

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Forest management and climate‐induced tree dieback alter the structural characteristics of forests, which could subsequently lead to changes in the structure of beetle assemblages. Beetle assemblages in more open forests exhibited less even abundance distributions, with fewer, more dominant species (higher rates of decline (r), higher dominance (d ...

Increased deadwood carbon stocks through planted forestry practices: insights from a Forest Inventory Survey in Japan

Carbon Management
Deadwood, a vital component of forest ecosystems, constitutes a quintessential carbon reservoir that must be disclosed under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
