NATURE-BASED COASTAL PROTECTION USING LARGE WOODY DEBRIS
Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 2020 In British Columbia (BC), Canada, and Washington State, USA, anchored Large Woody Debris (LWD) have been extensively used with the specific aim of reducing erosion and limiting wave run-up. Despite its frequent usage, there is currently limited peer-reviewed literature on the design or efficacy of coastal protection using LWD.

Woodlands and woody debris: Understanding structure and composition to inform restoration.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Simplification of stand structure of forests and woodlands through human-induced modification is a serious threat to biodiversity. Restoring lost habitat complexity and heterogeneity, such as woody debris, requires an understanding of the relationships ...
