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 and 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 ...

Influence of Deadwood, Tree‐Related Microhabitats, and Forest Structural Features on Saproxylic Arthropod Diversity [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionForest composition and structural diversity play a key role in shaping habitat availability and biodiversity, particularly influencing the occurrence of saproxylic species associated with tree‐related microhabitats (TreMs).

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.

Tree biomass and deadwood density into ageing Turkey oak coppices in Tuscany
Forest@, 2010 Recent data from the National Forest Inventory point out the further reinforcement of coppice area under the position of “mature” standing crop or post-cultivation phase, both of them being spread throughout the original cultivation area ...
