Airborne and Terrestrial Laser Scanning Data for the Assessment of Standing and Lying Deadwood: Current Situation and New Perspectives [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2018 LiDAR technology is finding uses in the forest sector, not only for surveys in producing forests but also as a tool to gain a deeper understanding of the importance of the three-dimensional component of forest environments.

Ground-lying deadwood volume promotes soil beta diversity but not alpha diversity in European temperate forests. [PDF]
Plant SoilAbstract Background and aims Deadwood plays a vital role in forest ecosystems, influencing soil biodiversity through nutrient enrichment and niche partitioning. While the effects of specific attributes of deadwood logs on soil biodiversity are well studied, it remains unclear whether and how ...

Forest Ecology and Management, 2022 Riparian forests are among the most diverse terrestrial ecosystems, yet their biodiversity is increasingly threatened by habitat degradation, climate change, river regulation and invasive species. We investigated deadwood, widely recognized as an indicator for forest biodiversity, in riparian forests of the Mura-Drava-Danube Transboundary Biosphere ...

Open data for assessing habitats degree of conservation at plot level. An example dataset of forest structural attributes in Val d'Agri (Basilicata, Southern Italy) [PDF]
Data in Brief, 2023 Forests supply multiple ecosystem services and host a large proportion of the Earth's terrestrial biodiversity. In particular, they provide habitats for many taxonomic groups which can be threatened by forest unsustainable management practices.

Repeated stand structure inventory dataset in long abandoned deciduous forest reserves in Hungary [PDF]
Data in Brief, 2023 Deeper understanding on natural forest dynamics requires long-term data series from forests that have not been affected by human interventions, which are often scarce especially in the Pannonian Bioregion.

Small-scale spontaneous dynamics in temperate beech stands as an importance driver for beetle species richness [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Natural dynamics in forests play an important role in the lives of many species. In the landscape of managed forests, natural disturbances are reduced by management activities. This usually has a significant effect on insect diversity.

People's attitudes towards deadwood in forest: evidence from the Ukrainian Carpathians
Journal of Forest Science, 2019 People's attitudes towards forest stand characteristics including deadwood are becoming increasingly relevant in sustainable forest management. The aim of this study is to investigate people's attitudes towards deadwood in forest.
