MycoPins: a metabarcoding-based method to monitor fungal colonization of fine woody debris. [PDF]
MycoKeys, 2023 The MycoPins method described here is a rapid and affordable protocol to monitor early colonization events in communities of wood-inhabiting fungi in fine woody debris. It includes easy to implement field sampling techniques and sample processing, followed by data processing, and analysis of the development of early dead wood fungal communities.

Progression of saproxylic fungal communities in fine woody debris in boreal forests of Oulanka, Finland, assessed by DNA metabarcoding. [PDF]
Biodivers Data JThis 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). This knowledge gap is largely due to the microscopic or cryptic nature of most fungal species, which often exist primarily as mycelium. To

Fragile foundations: succession patterns of bacterial communities in fine woody debris and soil under long-term microclimate influence. [PDF]
Environ MicrobiomeAbstract Background Fine woody debris (FWD) is a crucial yet often overlooked component of forest ecosystems, providing a dynamic habitat for microbial communities and playing a key role in carbon and nutrient cycling. In managed forests with low deadwood stocks, FWD decomposition enhances soil fertility by facilitating microbial nutrient ...

Climatic rainfall regime shapes energy flow, trophic structure, and secondary production in streams [PDF]
Ecology.Abstract Changes in precipitation patterns linked to climate change have profound implications for the structuring and functioning of riverine ecosystems. This study investigates how rainfall influences secondary production by examining nine rivers across a sharp natural rainfall gradient over 3 years.

Effects of mesh bag enclosure and termites on fine woody debris decomposition in a subtropical forest [PDF]
Basic and Applied Ecology, 2016 The role of insects in terrestrial decomposition remains poorly resolved, particularly for infrequently studied substrates like small diameter woody debris. Uncertainty about how mesh bags used to exclude arthropods may affect decomposition rates continues to impede progress in this area. We sought to (1) measure how insects affect the decomposition of

How habitat moisture condition affects the decomposition of fine woody debris from different species
CATENA, 2022 Deadwood is an essential element of forest ecosystems that is a source of nutrients and serves a very important role in the maintenance of biodiversity. Our study aimed to determine the decomposition rate of various species of deadwood while considering habitat conditions, especially moisture content.

Carbon Stocks of Fine Woody Debris in Coppice Oak Forests at Different Development Stages [PDF]
Forests, 2017 Dead woody debris is a significant component of the carbon cycle in forest ecosystems. This study was conducted in coppice-originated oak forests to determine carbon stocks of dead woody debris in addition to carbon stocks of different ecosystem compartments from the same area and forests which were formerly elucidated.

Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 263-304., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Decay dynamic of coarse and fine woody debris of a beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) forest in Central Germany [PDF]
European Journal of Forest Research, 2009 Decay rates of woody debris were estimated and used to model the decay of various diameters of branches and stems in a beech stand in Central Germany. In addition, use of wood density, volume and mass loss to quantitatively describe the degree of decay was tested. The mass loss during decay could be described by a simple exponential function. Under the
