Patterns and drivers of deadwood quantity and variation in mid-latitude deciduous forests

, 2021
Deadwood is a fundamental forest habitat component and highly important for biodiversity conservation. Its availability, composition, size, categories and distribution depend on various structural and environmental factors (e.g., forest age, management ...

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.

Predictors of diversity of deadwood-dwelling macrofungi in a European natural forest

, 2021
Deadwood plays a crucial role in the maintenance of biodiversity in forest ecosystems. Its quantity and quality are commonly used in ecology and nature conservation as a proxy indicator of forest biodiversity. In this study we exposed 720 logs of wood in

Modeling persistence of coarse woody debris residuals in boreal forests as an ecological property

Ecosphere, 2021
There is a trade‐off between leaving coarse woody debris (CWD) in the stand, providing desirable ecosystem services, and harvesting it. To consider this trade‐off, forest management needs to model describing the decomposition of CWD.
