How to Evaluate Downed Fine Woody Debris Including Logging Residues? [PDF]
Forests, 2021 Volume or biomass estimates of downed woody debris are crucial for numerous applications such as forest carbon stock assessment, biodiversity assessments, and more recently for environmental evaluations of biofuel harvesting practices. Both fixed-area sampling (FAS) and line-intersect sampling (LIS) are used in forest inventories and ecological studies

Soil warming accelerates decomposition of fine woody debris [PDF]
Plant and Soil, 2012 Background and aims Soil warming from global climate change could increase decomposition of fine woody debris (FWD), but debris size and quality may mitigate this effect. The goal of this study was to investigate theeffectofsoilwarming on decompositionoffine woody debris of differing size and quality. Methods We placedFWD of two sizeclasses (2×20cm and

Fine woody debris as a biogen reservoir in forest ecosystems
Acta Oecologica, 2022Deadwood is a very important element of the forest ecosystem, storing many nutrients necessary for the proper functioning of plants. Decaying wood occurs in various forms and sizes in forest ecosystems. In addition to large logs, there are also smaller forms.

Evaluation of techniques for determining the density of fine woody debris
, 2010 Evaluated various techniques for determining the density (i.e., bulk density) of fine woody debris during forest inventory activities. It was found that only experts in dead wood inventory may be able to identify fine woody debris stages of decay. Suggests various future research directions such as development of a 2-class fine woody debris decay class

Estimating the quadratic mean diameters of fine woody debris in forests of the United States
Forest Ecology and Management, 2010Most fine woody debris (FWD) line-intersect sampling protocols and associated estimators require an approximation of the quadratic mean diameter (QMD) of each individual FWD size class. There is a lack of empirically derived QMDs by FWD size class and species/forest type across the U.S.

Decomposition of Scots pine fine woody debris in boreal conditions: Implications for estimating carbon pools and fluxes [PDF]
Forest Ecology and Management, 2009 Abstract Litter quality and environmental effects on Scots pine ( Pinus sylvestris L.) fine woody debris (FWD) decomposition were examined in three forestry-drained peatlands representing different site types along a climatic gradient from the north boreal (Northern Finland) to south (Southern Finland) and hemiboreal (Central Estonia) conditions ...

Small Mammal Responses to Fine Woody Debris and Forest Fuel Reduction in Southwest Oregon
Journal of Wildlife Management, 2008Abstract: Despite its importance for wildlife, most forests in the Pacific Northwest contain low volumes of large downed wood compared to fine woody debris (FWD). We used a replicated experiment to compare short‐term responses of deer mice ( Peromyscus maniculatus ) and ...

Seasonal fine fuel and coarse woody debris dynamics in north Australian savannas
International Journal of Wildland Fire, 2020Several studies have separately explored accumulation of the dominant fuels (grass, fine litter (<6 mm diameter) and coarse woody debris (CWD, 6–50 mm diameter)) in north Australian savannas. We report an analysis of two longitudinal datasets describing how these three fuel components covary in abundance throughout the year in eucalypt-dominated
