Climatic regions as an indicator of forest coarse and fine woody debris carbon stocks in the United States [PDF]
Carbon Balance and Management, 2008 Background Coarse and fine woody debris are substantial forest ecosystem carbon stocks; however, there is a lack of understanding how these detrital carbon stocks vary across forested landscapes.

Progression of saproxylic fungal communities in fine woody debris in boreal forests of Oulanka, Finland, assessed by DNA metabarcoding [PDF]
Biodiversity Data JournalThis publication presents a dataset of saproxylic (dead wood) fungi which addresses the limited understanding of saproxylic fungal diversity, community structure and colonisation dynamics in fine woody debris (FWD).

An efficient and comprehensive field protocol for assessing fuel characteristics for fire behaviour modelling in Australian open forests [PDF]
MethodsXKnowledge of fuel characteristics and their spatial and temporal distribution is increasingly important as fire managers rely on this information to quantify fire risk, plan prescribed burning activities, forecast fire danger and predict wildland fire ...

Disturbance Dynamics and Its Effects on Carbon in Human‐Impacted Mountain Forests in Northwestern Yunnan, China [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionHuman activities alter disturbance regimes, influencing forest structure and ecosystem carbon. Identifying and quantifying natural and anthropogenic disturbances at fine spatial scales are critical to assessing the role of forests in climate change ...

Non-negligible role of dead organic matter in a rainforest remnant in Northeast Brazil [PDF]
Rodriguésia, 2022 Dead organic matter represents an essential reservoir of carbon, especially that allocated in standing dead trees, coarse woody debris, and fine litter, playing a pivotal role in nutrient cycling and habitat provisioning. However, necromass is frequently

Allometric equations and wood density parameters for estimating aboveground and woody debris biomass in Cajander larch (Larix cajanderi) forests of northeast Siberia [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2022 Boreal forests are particularly vulnerable to climate warming, which increases the occurrence of natural disturbances, such as fires and insect outbreaks.

The Mass Loss and Humification of Stumps and Roots in Masson Pine Plantations Based on Log File Records. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Stumps account for a large proportion of coarse woody debris in managed forests, but their decay dynamics are poorly understood. The loss of mass and the degree of humification of the above-ground woody debris, below-ground woody debris, bark and root ...

Changes in plant debris and carbon stocks across a subalpine forest successional series
Forest Ecosystems, 2021 Background As a structurally and functionally important component in forest ecosystems, plant debris plays a crucial role in the global carbon cycle. Although it is well known that plant debris stocks vary greatly with tree species composition, forest ...
