Volume techniques for estimating standing and lying dead wood in Okomu national park, Edo state, Nigeria

Biometrics & Biostatistics International Journal, 2020
Dimensions are essential characteristics to estimate standing and lying dead wood volumes. Therefore, the study is aimed at estimating standing and lying dead wood volumes with a view to identify the variation that exist amongst volume equations in Okomu

Structure and dynamics of deadwood in the mixed beech-conifers Frakto virgin forest of Greece

Annals of Forest Research
Virgin forests are considered valuable reference areas for studying forest ecosystem structures and functions as they have been naturally grown with no human interventions.

Deadwood in the hemiboreal forest stands in Latvia

Scandinavian Journal of Forest Research
In Europe, the amount of deadwood (DW) varies regionally, hence national estimates of satisfactory level (EU Nature Restoration Law) are necessary. In this study, satisfactory levels of DW for Latvia were estimated based on the National Forest Inventory ...

Deadwood carbon stock in overmature coniferous forests on different soil types in the hemiboreal region

Baltic Forestry
The amount of deadwood is a subject of heated debate regarding biodiversity conservation and carbon (C) storage as an instrument for climate change mitigation in north-eastern Europe.

Rockfall Protection by Disturbed Mountain Forests: Assessing Roughness Effects of Lying Deadwood using Remote Sensing

Natural disturbances such as the 2018 windthrow Vaia and subsequent bark beetle outbreaks can strongly affect the protective function of mountain forests against rockfall. This study evaluated the relationship between the volume of horizontal deadwood, placed as natural barriers and their resulting terrain roughness relevant for rockfall mitigation ...

What do tree-related microhabitats tell us about the abundance of forest-dwelling bats, birds, and insects?

Journal of Environmental Management, 2020
Retaining trees during harvesting to conserve biodiversity is becoming increasingly common in forestry. To assess, select and monitor these habitat trees, ecologists and practitioners often use Tree-related Microhabitats (TreMs), which are assumed to ...

Relationships Between Saproxylic Beetle Microhabitat Occurrences and Forest State Indicators

Forests
The use of proxies in habitat assessments has become widespread in recent decades. We used forest state descriptive data from a large-scale project (SCP) as proxies to investigate the occurrence of habitats suitable for some protected saproxylic beetles.

Carbon stocks in dead wood of forest stands of the Middle Dnipro (Dnieper) region (Forest-steppe of Ukraine)

Agroecological journal
Dead wood is an important structural component of forest ecosystems and performs a number of important ecological functions, including participation in the biological cycle of substances and energy and carbon deposition.

Beyond one-size-fits-all: Refining forest restoration indicators for the Mediterranean context based on expert knowledge.

Journal of Environmental Management
Global and European forest restoration initiatives such as the European Nature Restoration Regulation (NRR) have set ambitious targets, but ensuring that restoration efforts translate into effective socioecological outcomes requires robust monitoring ...
