Coarse woody debris carbon stocks in natural spruce forests of Babia hora

Journal of Forest Science, 2010
Although coarse woody debris (CWD) represents one of the major carbon pools in natural forest ecosystems, little information is available about its CWD carbon stocks.

Deadwood position matters: Diversity and biomass of saproxylic beetles in a temperate beech forest

Forest Ecosystems
Deadwood plays a key role for biodiversity in forests. A significant number of beetles from this group are currently listed as endangered in the Red List.

Moisture reduces saproxylic bee, wasp, and parasitoid diversity in lying and standing deadwood

Abstract Saproxylic community assembly is structured both by deadwood and forest habitat gradients, as well as biotic interactions such as competition, predation, and parasitism.

Deadwood in forest stands: assessment of wood basic density in some tree species, Trentino, Italy

Forest@, 2007
Given the importance of deadwood as temporary carbon storage, the present paper reports preliminary results on the application of a method to quantify carbon content of standing and lying deadwood in the forest.

Distance-dependent indices to assess deadwood diversity in forest ecosystems: an application in the Italian Alps

Forest Systems
Aim of study: To evaluate the effectiveness of distance-dependent indices in characterizing deadwood diversity at stand level. Area of study: Four forest types in the Italian Alps (Trentino Alto Adige region): Norway spruce, mixed Silver fir–Norway ...

Social perception of the forest landscape in Trentino-Alto Adige (Italy): comparison of case studies

Forest@, 2016
The landscape is the product of human activities and nature as developed during the centuries. However, the landscape has a symbolic value because it can be considered the identity and culture of a territory that includes the values and beliefs of local ...

How do forest structure and composition near trees with black woodpecker (Dryocopus martius L.) cavities differ from the surrounding forest? A multisite approach in French forests

Annals of Forest Science
Key message In French temperate lowland and mountain forests, the black woodpecker (Dryocopus martius L.) excavates preferably trees in beech-dominated sites, with a lower fraction of small-diameter trees than in the surrounding areas, while the presence

Old-growth mixed beech-dominated forests continue accumulating carbon with advancing age

Forest Ecosystems
Old-growth forests uniquely support biodiversity while serving as some of the planet's most important carbon stocks. The influence of tree and stand age on carbon flux dynamics remains debated—an urgent question as climate-driven disturbances may reshape
