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 ...

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.

The tree‐parasitic fungus Cryphonectria carpinicola discovered on European chestnut and European hornbeam in Azerbaijan

EPPO Bulletin, EarlyView.
Abstract The ascomycetous fungus Cryphonectria carpinicola is typically found in its asexual form on the European hornbeam, and its sexual state has only recently been discovered in deadwood of different Carpinus species in Japan. Recently, this fungus has been added to the EPPO Alert List due to its increasing incidence in the EPPO region and a ...

Fly me to the canopy: Diptera communities in oak forest crowns as bioindicators of stand decline

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Diptera diversity: Oak decline increases the overall Diptera diversity, particularly in saproxylic and floricolous guilds, likely due to more open canopies and greater deadwood and floral resource availability. Family responses: Dolichopodidae, Empididae, Hybotidae and Anthomyiidae thrive in declining stands, whereas Mycetophilidae and other fungus ...

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 ...

Improving spine‐based age estimation in centrarchid fishes using otolith‐derived training sets

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Nonlethal age determination is a priority in fish biology contexts where sacrifice is restricted, but estimates derived from nonlethally attainable structures tend to suffer from poor precision and accuracy relative to necessarily lethal, otolith‐derived estimates.

Middlebrow Aesthetics: An Explanation and Defense

Pacific Philosophical Quarterly, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We offer a philosophical account of the middlebrow as a theoretical category to do explanatory and critical work in aesthetics. On our account, the middlebrow ought to be understood as aspirational popular art. That is, it is art which aspires both to be popular (in a distinctive sense), and at the same time to be something more than popular ...

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.

Redefining ecosystem integrity for an Anthropocene biosphere: a process‐ and lineage‐based framework for restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Restoration increasingly operates in rapidly transforming landscapes shaped by human‐driven global change, where historical reference states no longer represent achievable or even desirable targets. Yet, ecological restoration and conservation management still rely on composition‐based definitions of ecosystem integrity that assume stable reference ...

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.
