Multi-kingdom characterization of living organisms by 13C CPMAS NMR spectroscopy reveals unique traits in bacteria, fungi, algae, and higher plants

open access: yesGeoderma
Determining the chemical quality of soil organic matter and decomposing organisms is critical for predicting carbon fluxes in ecosystems. However, the classical C/N and lignin/N ratios have been criticized for their capability in predicting ecosystem ...

Effects of woody debris on alluvial sediment differentiation and particulate organic matter accumulation in a mountainous forest stream in the Polish Carpathians

open access: yesFrontiers in Forests and Global Change
Woody debris (WD) stabilizes riverbeds, creates habitats, supports biodiversity, and enhances water quality in ecosystems. This study investigates the impact of WD on sediment characteristics and particulate organic matter (POM) accumulation in the ...

Estimating the quadratic mean diameters of fine woody debris in forests of the United States

Forest Ecology and Management, 2010
Most 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.

Influence of fine woody debris on spider diversity and community structure in forest leaf litter

Biodiversity and Conservation, 2009
Exploitation 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 ...

Relative importance of coarse and fine woody debris for the diversity of wood-inhabiting fungi in temperate broadleaf forests

Biological Conservation, 2004
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.

Small Mammal Responses to Fine Woody Debris and Forest Fuel Reduction in Southwest Oregon

Journal of Wildlife Management, 2008
Abstract: 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, 2020
Several 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
