Influence of fine woody debris on spider diversity and community structure in forest leaf litter
Biodiversity and Conservation, 2009Exploitation of forests for biofuel results in variable amounts of fine woody debris (FWD) being left on the forest floor. Such practices have the potential to affect the diversity and taxonomic composition of litter-dwelling organisms. The ability to predict the consequences of harvesting biofuel will be strengthened by knowledge of how variation in ...

Season of Fine Woody Debris Death Affects Colonization of Saproxylic Coleoptera
The Coleopterists Bulletin, 2014A study was conducted to explore the effect of season on colonization of dead twigs by beetles in a Louisiana secondary forest. Previous research showed that twigs cut during spring yielded many specimens and species. The present companion study utilized twigs averaging 14 mm in diameter cut from one tree of Quercus falcata Michaux (southern red oak ...

Decomposition of Fine Woody Debris from Main Tree Species in Lowland Oak Forests
Polish Journal of Ecology, 2015Decomposition is an important carbon flux that must be accounted for in estimates of forest ecosystem carbon balance. Aim of this research is to provide estimate of fine woody debris decomposition rates for different tree species and sample sizes also taking into account the influence of specific microsite meteorological conditions on decomposition ...

Abstract Dead wood is considered important in forest conservation, but patterns of fungal diversity on dead wood have rarely been quantified. We investigated the relative importance of coarse (diameter >10 cm) and fine woody debris (1–10 cm) for fungi in broadleaf forests in southern Sweden.

Woody Debris as a Source of Fine Particulate Organic Matter in Coniferous Forest Stream Ecosystems
Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, 1986The potential contribution of woody debris to fine particulate organic matter pools (0.45 μm ≤ FROM < 1 mm) was investigated in a coniferous forest stream ecosystem in western Oregon. The amount of wetted surface area of both large (>10 cm) and fine woody debris (1–10 cm) was 0.018 and 0.069 m2∙m−2 stream bed, respectively, during summer base ...

Effects of fine woody debris on arthropod communities in the NJ Pinelands
2020Climate change is modifying weather patterns, including the frequency and intensity of storms. The ecological consequences of these storms have primarily been studied for warm weather storms, such as hurricanes. During the winter of 2017-18, New Jersey experienced an increase in snowstorms. These storms caused significant tree damage, mostly consisting

Decomposition of fine woody debris in a deciduous forest in North Carolina1
The Journal of the Torrey Botanical Society, 2011Abstract We examined the effect of position with respect to the soil surface, species, and piece size on the decomposition rate of fine woody debris (< 15 cm diameter) in a North Carolina forest disturbed by hurricane. To examine year-to-year trends, pieces of two species (Carya tomentosa ((Lam.) Nutt.) and Quercus alba (Lam.)) in four size classes ...

Ecology
AbstractCommunity structure and ecosystem function may be driven by the size or the energy within a given habitat, but these metrics (space and energy) are difficult to separate, especially in systems where the habitat itself is also food, such as detritus.

Simulated Fine Woody Debris Accumulations in a Stream Increase Rainbow Trout Fry Abundance
Transactions of the American Fisheries Society, 1996Abstract Habitat for young-of-the-year rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss was enhanced in a fourth-order stream during August–October 1991 by the addition of wooden structures that simulated accumulations of fine woody debris (FWD). The experiment represented a two-factorial design with the presence or absence of FWD bundles and time since debris ...
