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.

Full-scale experiments to examine the role of deadwood in rockfall dynamics in forests [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2022
Forests are rockfall-protective ecological infrastructures as a significant amount of kinetic energy is absorbed during consecutive rock–tree impacts.

Assessing and Harmonizing Lying Deadwood Volume with Regional Forest Inventory Data in Wallonia (Southern Region of Belgium) [PDF]

The Open Forest Science Journal, 2012
Using lying deadwood or coarse woody debris (CWD) as an indicator of biodiversity and of sustainable forest management is on the rise among national and local forest inventories. Nevertheless choosing the most suitable sampling method is difficult as it depends mostly on CWD abundance and dimensions.

How Large, Decayed, and Moist Must Rotting Logs Be to Act as Thermally Buffered Microhabitats in Temperate Eastern United States Forests? [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study addresses the ecological role of coarse woody debris (CWD) as a thermally buffered microhabitat for saproxylic organisms in temperate eastern US forests. We measured internal and external log temperatures across four seasons in Southern Appalachian forests to test how log diameter, decay stage, and moisture influence thermal buffering.

A simple concept for estimating deadwood carbon in forests

Carbon Management, 2023
Deadwood in forests is becoming an important topic globally for forest management and carbon markets. While deadwood volume is now routinely assessed by forest inventories and can be even monitored using remote sensing, data about deadwood carbon and ...

Short communication: Variation of deadwood density by decay class in Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirbel) Franco) stands in Italy

Forest Systems, 2022
Aim of the study: To estimate fresh and basic density values of Douglas fir deadwood for the five decay classes used in the National Forest Inventories (NFIs). Area of study: Rincine forest in Tuscany region (Italy).

Lying deadwood retention affects microhabitat use of martens ( Martes spp.) in European mountain forests

Wildlife Biology, 2023
Biodiversity loss due to intensive timber production is a ubiquitous conservation issue across temperate and boreal forest ecosystems. Retention forestry, the retention of deadwood and old‐growth features within production forest, is one management strategy that has been implemented in various countries around the world to conserve a wide range of taxa

The relationship between tree species and wood colonising fungi and fungal interactions influences wood degradation

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Deadwood is one of the main terrestrial carbon (C) pools and its decomposition is fundamental in biogeochemical cycles. As fungi are the main wood degraders, a study was carried out on deadwood-colonising fungal community changes as a function of host ...

Vital rates and their multidecadal trends in the fir-beech old-growth forest of Badínsky prales

Journal of Forest Science, 2023
The study aimed to quantify annual mortality and recruitment rates on permanent research plots in the Badínsky prales old-growth forest. The data measured in four stands originate from six censuses, which together cover a 48-year period.

Validation and limitations of large-scale forest condition indicators – An example from Hungary

Ecological Indicators, 2023
As the multi-scale study of biodiversity is extremely resource-intensive, proxy indicators taken from various databases are often used to answer questions on a larger spatial scale.
