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 ...

Fungal Community Development in Decomposing Fine Deadwood Is Largely Affected by Microclimate
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Fine woody debris (FWD) represents the majority of the deadwood stock in managed forests and serves as an important biodiversity hotspot and refuge for many organisms, including deadwood fungi.

Saproxylic insects and fungi in deciduous forests along a rural–urban gradient
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Urbanization is increasing worldwide and is regarded a major threat to biodiversity in forests. As consequences of intensive human use, the vegetation structure of naturally growing urban forests and their amount of deadwood can be reduced.
