Distribution of deadwood and other forest structural indicators relevant for bird conservation in Natura 2000 special protection areas in Poland

Scientific Reports, 2021
Numerous bird species, often rare or endangered, rely on the presence of standing and downed deadwood for shelter, nesting, and foraging. Habitat quality was evaluated on the basis of deadwood volume, the density of large standing deadwood, and the space

Selective seasonal foraging behavior of herbivores on a Danish island demonstrated by DNA metabarcoding

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Understanding how herbivores influence plant communities is critical for managing biodiversity and ecosystem functions, particularly in conservation areas undergoing restoration or rewilding, where free‐ranging large herbivores impact the vegetation development.

Enhancing deadwood reporting for forest ecosystems: Bridge equations to convert deadwood measured at any diameter threshold to reference diameters

Ecological Indicators
National as well as international requirements have led to an increased need to quantify deadwood stocks in forest ecosystems given their important role not only in terms of carbon storage and regulation of the carbon cycle but also as biodiversity ...

Climate Variables Outstrip Deadwood Amount: Desiccation as the Main Trigger for Buxbaumia viridis Occurrence

Plants, 2020
Deadwood is a biodiversity hotspot and habitat for numerous highly endangered species. Buxbaumia viridis has been assessed as a flagship species for deadwood-rich forests and is subject to monitoring under the Habitats Directive, yet we lack a solid ...

Colonisation potential of the bark beetle (Taphrorychus bicolor) on beech logs and logging residues: ecological context and implications for pest management in forests

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 6628-6637, July 2026.
Beech residues left in shaded or semi‐shaded conditions pose a substantial risk of local Taphrorychus bicolor population outbreaks. The rapid removal or placement of residues in sun‐exposed locations can help mitigate this risk. Abstract BACKGROUND The bark beetle Taphrorychus bicolor has been traditionally classified as a secondary pest of European ...

Is There Life After Death? The Role of Standing Dead Phorophytes in Supporting Tropical Epiphyte Diversity

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Global increases in tree mortality from climate change and land‐use are altering forest structures, impacting canopy‐dwelling plants like vascular epiphytes, which depend on host trees (phorophytes). When a phorophyte dies standing, it becomes a snag, the local substrate conditions change and microclimatic exposure may increase, particularly ...

Therapeutic Bark Gouging as an Effective Complement for the Management of Ips typographus and Pityogenes chalcographus While Preserving Habitat for Secondary Scolytine (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) Species

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 6, Page 780-790, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Norway spruce will likely remain an important tree species in Europe over the next few decades despite efforts to transform forests and reduce its distribution range more to its natural range. Consequently, Ips typographus will remain one of the most relevant forest pests the management of which will become increasingly challenging due to ...

From Post‐Fire Interventions to Community Resilience: Learning and Adaptation in a Cross‐Border Region

Sociologia Ruralis, Volume 66, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper explores the concept of community resilience in the context of cross‐border wildfire management in the Bohemian and Saxon Switzerland National Parks. It focuses on three interrelated dimensions: institutional preparedness, inclusive community engagement and adaptive learning in the aftermath of natural disasters.

The Presence and Behaviour of Birds at Two Prescribed Fires in Sweden

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Shifting fire regimes pose immediate threats to animal conservation. Swedish birds appear to mostly ignore prescribed fire, and some species even continue to sing. Behavioural plasticity towards fire is poorly understood, but may prove to be an essential tool in animal conservation.

Laser bathymetry on rough riverbed channels: State‐of‐the‐art and future prospects

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2026.
This literature review found that topo‐bathymetric LiDAR has been successfully used to capture the structures of rough riverbeds and detect large boulders. While all of the studies that were reviewed used sensors that were operated from fixed‐wing aircraft, few studies have yet tested UAV‐borne sensors on rough riverbeds, despite the potential offered ...
