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.

Deadwood in forest stands close to old-growthness under Mediterranean conditions in the Italian Peninsula [PDF]

, 2010
Considering that indicators of old-growth features can vary across the European ecoregions, this paper provides some results to identify the distinctive traits of old-growth forests in the Mediterranean ecoregion.

Handbook of field sampling for multi-taxon biodiversity studies in European forests

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Forests host most terrestrial biodiversity and their sustainable management is crucial to halt biodiversity loss. Although scientific evidence indicates that sustainable forest management (SFM) should be assessed by monitoring multi-taxon biodiversity ...

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 ...

Factors affecting the quantity and type of tree-related microhabitats in Mediterranean mountain forests of high nature value

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2021
Tree-related microhabitats (hereafter TreMs) are structures occurring on trees, such as rot holes, cavities, large nests, mould, fruiting bodies and mycelia of decomposer fungi.

Tree biomass and deadwood density into aged holm oak (Sardinia) and beech coppices (Tuscany)

Forest@, 2012
Current National Forest Inventory highlight the further increase over the last two decades of coppice area under the position of mature standing crop or in the post-cultivation phase, both being developed throughout the original cultivation area.

Tourists’ perception of deadwood in mountain forests

Annals of Forest Research, 2016
In the traditional forest management the non-living woody biomass in forests was perceived negatively. Generally, deadwood was removed during the silvicultural treatments to protect forests against fire, pests and insects attacks.

Monitoring post-fire forest recovery using multi-temporal Digital Surface Models generated from different platforms [PDF]

, 2016
Wildfires can greatly affect forest dynamics. Given the alteration of fire regimes foreseen globally due to climate and land use changes, greater attention should be devoted to prevention and restoration activities.
