Structural complexity and prey availability shape spider communities under retention forestry

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
Our findings suggest that retention forestry practices, which maintain structural complexity through spatial and vertical heterogeneity, integrate deadwood and support diverse plant communities, may support spider richness and shape dominant ecological strategies while influencing predator populations through prey availability.

Forest Fires: Silvicultural Prevention and Mathematical Models for Predicting Fire Propagation in Southern Italy

open access: yesFire
In the Mediterranean basin, coniferous reforestation mainly comprises forest stands highly susceptible to fires. When silvicultural treatments have not been performed for decades after plantation, these stands often exhibit high vertical and horizontal ...

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

open access: yesEcological 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 ...

Can deadwood be preferred to soil? Vascular plants on decaying logs in different forest types in Central Europe

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Forest Research, 2023
Deadwood is known to be an irreplaceable substrate for various groups of organisms but its importance for vascular plants is still unclear. To examine which deadwood characteristics promote its colonization by vascular plants and whether species can ...

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

open access: yesEcological 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.

Full scale experiments to examine the role of deadwood on rockfall dynamics in forests

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2021
. Forests are rockfall-protective ecological infrastructures, as a significant amount of kinetic energy is absorbed during consecutive rock-tree impacts.

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

open access: yesEcological 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 ...
