Climatic predictors influences VFWD macromycetes diversity through dominant tree' ecology in beech forests in the North-Eastern Romania [PDF]

Journal of Plant Development, 2018
Lignicolous macromycetes plays are a vital part of forest ecosystems in Europe. They are involved in Carbon cycle, through decay processes of woody debris.

Analysis of diversity of wood-inhabiting fungi retrieved from a Mediterranean forest dominated by Pinus pinaster Aiton

Italian Journal of Mycology, 2016
The present paper is focused on the diversity of wood-inhabiting fungi in a poorly investigated habitat: a Mediterranean forest dominated by maritime pine.

Logging Residue Assessment in Salvage Logging Areas: a Case Study in the North-Eastern Italian Alps

South-East European Forestry, 2023
Salvage logging operations often occur after large disturbances and usually leave behind a substantial quantity of residues, which is fundamental for maintaining soil fertility and facilitating ecosystem dynamics.

The volume and composition of dead wood on traditional and forest fuel harvested clear-cuts

Silva Fennica, 2010
Logging residue and cut stumps are increasingly used as a renewable energy source known as forest fuel. Forest fuel harvesting obviously reduces the volume of dead wood and is likely to alter the dead wood composition, but the magnitude of the change ...

Application of a novel schema for describing fossil fern foliage and investigating taxonomic and morphological change across the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary in western North America

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise The Chicxulub asteroid impact at the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) boundary triggered a mass extinction 66 million years ago. Ferns thrived in the aftermath of the extinction, evidenced by the well‐documented “fern spore spike.” However, fern macrofossil records across the K–Pg boundary are less understood.

Decay dynamic of coarse and fine woody debris of a beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) forest in Central Germany [PDF]

European Journal of Forest Research, 2009
Decay rates of woody debris were estimated and used to model the decay of various diameters of branches and stems in a beech stand in Central Germany. In addition, use of wood density, volume and mass loss to quantitatively describe the degree of decay was tested. The mass loss during decay could be described by a simple exponential function. Under the

Downed woody debris varies with climate and harvesting treatment in Douglas-fir forests of British Columbia, Canada

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change
Downed woody debris is important for biodiversity, forest regeneration, and carbon, nutrient, and water cycling, and past studies have examined how the coarse fraction is affected by climate or harvesting.

Cultural treatments and woody debris: the study case of beech forests in Casentino (Italy)

Forest@, 2009
This paper shows the first results about quantity and quality of dead wood on the ground in beech forests of Foreste Casentinesi, Monte Falterona and Campigna National Park. The presence of dead wood depends on several factors such as forest productivity,

Five Issues of Artificial Intelligence in Science: Sailing the Ship of Theseus

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming part of the working infrastructure of academic medicine. Because grants convert scientific ideas into protected time, infrastructure, and institutional priority, they provide a revealing test case for AI's effects on biomedicine. Five issues are emerging: language, agency, review, doership, and identity.

Combining paleoecology and modeling to explore cascading disturbances in forest ecosystems

Ecography, EarlyView.
Climate‐induced cascading disturbance interactions pose a major challenge to the sustainable provision of forest ecosystem services to society. Developing a deeper understanding and enhanced capacity to simulate these interactions is essential for identifying disturbance‐induced tipping points in forest ecosystems, and for improving management in ...
