Species variables or environmental variables as indicators of forest biodiversity: a case study using saproxylic beetles in Maritime pine plantations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
To assess the sustainability of plantation forest management we compare two types of biodiversity indicators. We used the species richness of saproxylic beetles as a case study to test the “species” and “environmental” indicator approaches.

Redefining ecosystem integrity for an Anthropocene biosphere: a process‐ and lineage‐based framework for restoration

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Restoration increasingly operates in rapidly transforming landscapes shaped by human‐driven global change, where historical reference states no longer represent achievable or even desirable targets. Yet, ecological restoration and conservation management still rely on composition‐based definitions of ecosystem integrity that assume stable reference ...

The lichens of forest rocky communities of mountain Olovgora (Arkhangelsk Region, Northwest Russia) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The present study reports 223 species and three subspecies of lichens from forest rocky communities of mountain Olovgora, which is the highest point of the Vetreny Poyas ridge (Arkhangelsk Region, NW Russia).

Deep Learning for Satellite‐Based Forest Disturbance Monitoring: Recent Advances and Challenges

open access: yesWIREs Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery, Volume 16, Issue 2, June 2026.
Overview of key research challenges in forest disturbance monitoring, including the detection of disturbances of varying severity, the attribution of disturbance agents, and the development of models capable of generalizing across regions. ABSTRACT Climate change and land use pressures are intensifying forest disturbances in many world regions, as ...

Law\u27s Visual Afterlife: Violence, Popular Culture, and Translation Theory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
In Walter Benjamin’s essay, “The Task of the Translator,” Benjamin argues that translations enable a work’s afterlife. Afterlife is not what happens after death but what allows a work (or event or idea) to go on living and to evolve over time and place ...

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

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
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.

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

open access: yesJournal 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 volume assessment in the third Swiss National Forest Inventory: methods and first results [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The Swiss National Forest Inventory (NFI) is expected to provide reliable data about the current state of the Swiss forests and recent changes. Since the first Swiss NFI (1982-1986) a deadwood assessment has been part of the inventory.

Species‐habitat networks reveal key habitats for landscape‐level wild bee conservation

open access: yesEcological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 3, April 2026.
Abstract Most agricultural landscapes are composed of a variety of habitats. A landscape perspective is needed to understand biodiversity decline, but many studies focus on single habitat types. In addition, the use of local resources by species within and across habitats implies that species and their habitats are linked in species‐habitat networks ...
