Spatial Analyses for Fine Woody Debris Volume Stock in the Hyrcanian Research Forest of Kheyrood-Kenar [PDF]
بومشناسی جنگلهای ایرانExtended Abstract Background: In the Hyrcanian forests, fine woody debris (FWDs) plays a significant role in providing ecological services. However, their importance is often overlooked in the management and executive sectors. Based on the sustainability

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.

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.
