Structural Recovery of Overlooked Shrublands Drives Asymmetric Restoration in Dryland Ecosystems

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Current remote sensing of dryland ecosystems is fundamentally limited by a reliance on vegetation indices (“greenness”), which struggle to disentangle mixed pixel signals and fail to capture the non‐photosynthetic structural components critical for resilience.

Red‐listed species under threat: Unexpectedly high deadwood thresholds for their presence in managed boreal forests

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
We show that deadwood volume is a reliable, taxon‐specific indicator of the presence of red‐listed bryophytes and fungi but not lichens. By explicitly focusing on threatened species and deriving statistically defined thresholds from managed boreal forests, our study provides empirical benchmarks that go beyond commonly used biodiversity indicators. The

Deadwood and saproxylic beetle diversity in naturally disturbed and managed spruce forests in Nova Scotia

ZooKeys, 2009
Even-age industrial forestry practices may alter communities of native species. Thus, identifying coarse patterns of species diversity in industrial forests and understanding how and why these patterns differ from those in naturally disturbed forests can

Rewilding beyond the wilderness: Beavers can restore stream biodiversity from urban to agricultural to natural landscapes

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
Our findings show that beaver‐engineering significantly enhances local biodiversity across aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, even at sites with high land‐use intensity. Hence, beavers can effectively restore stream biodiversity across a range of urban to agricultural to natural ecosystems.

Mycorrhizal specificity of fully mycoheterotrophic Yoania in Taiwan and China and novel natural abundance stable isotope patterns

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 1159-1168, June 2026.
Three species of the mycoheterotrophic orchid genus Yoania found in Taiwan and China are associated with a single taxonomic unit of white‐rot fungus from the genus Physisporinus and exhibit a stable isotope pattern distinct from other fully mycoheterotrophic (FMH) orchids associated with wood‐decaying fungi.

Relationship between deadwood structural diversity and carbon stock along environmental and disturbance gradients in Tropical dry forests

Folia Oecologica
Deadwood is a substantial component of forest ecosystems playing a vital role in maintaining ecosystem health and functioning. However, there is limited information on deadwood stand structure which encompasses attributes such as type, quantities and ...

Effects of tree fall on soil Collembola: Disentangling the role of gap formation and deadwood addition

Geoderma
Increased frequency of climate extremes causes large scale forest decline associated with gap formation and input of deadwood to the forest floor, which largely changes soil systems.

Deadwood in Italian forests according to National Forest Inventory results

Forest@, 2009
Deadwood plays a key role in the functioning and productivity of forest ecosystem and it is an important feature for assessing and monitoring biodiversity. The third Ministerial Conference on the Protection of Forests in Europe (MCPFE) has recognized the

Drivers of wood‐inhabiting fungal diversity in European and Oriental beech forests

Ecology and Evolution
The hyperdiverse wood‐inhabiting fungi play a crucial role in the global carbon cycle, but often are threatened by deadwood removal, particularly in temperate forests dominated by European beech (Fagus sylvatica) and Oriental beech (Fagus orientalis). To

Deadwood in Forest Ecosystems

, 2012
Until recently, deadwood was perceived as a negative element of forest ecosystems, that indicates “mismanagement, negligence, and wastefulness” of the applied forest management (Stachura et al., 2007). It was regarded as a potential source of biotic pests, mainly insects (Butler, 2003; Marage & Lemperiere, 2005), to remaining trees in a forest as well ...
