Habitat selection by a threatened desert amphibian
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Habitat degradation and fragmentation are major drivers of amphibian declines. The loss of environmental features that allow for movement between water sources may be particularly detrimental for amphibians in arid environments.

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2021 Forests are important for biodiversity, timber production and carbon accumulation, but these ecosystem services may be impacted by climate change. Field data collected from individual forest types occurring across a climatic gradient can contribute to ...

Post-fire recovery of ecosystem carbon pools in a tropical mixed pine-hardwood forest
Forest Systems, 2020 Aim of the study: To analyze the recovery pattern of carbon pools in terms of size and the relative contribution of each pool to total ecosystem C along a fire chronosequence of tropical mixed pine-hardwood forest.

Deadwood Amount at Disturbance Plots after Sanitary Felling
Plants, 2022 Deadwood is an important component of forests that fulfils many ecosystem functions. The occurrence, amount and spatial distribution of deadwood in forest ecosystems depend on tree species composition, historical development and past management.

Carbon Flux of Down Woody Materials in Forests of the North Central United States
International Journal of Forestry Research, 2010 Across large scales, the carbon (C) flux of down woody material (DWM) detrital pools has largely been simulated based on forest stand attributes (e.g., stand age and forest type).

Coarse Woody Debris Decomposition Assessment Tool: Model validation and application.
PLoS ONE, 2021 Coarse woody debris (CWD) is a significant component of the forest biomass pool; hence a model is warranted to predict CWD decomposition and its role in forest carbon (C) and nutrient cycling under varying management and climatic conditions.

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.

Coarse and fine woody debris and mortality rate of Persian Oak estimation in relation to some environmental factors in Zagros Oak forest (Case study: Tange Alamdar, Behbahan) [PDF]
مجله جنگل ایران, 2020 Forest decline is an important and complicated phenomenon that happened in most world oak forests. This research aims at the determination of mortality rate, the volume of deadwood, and also the designation of the ecological factor affecting these ...
