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 ...

Effects of Sand Mining on Species Diversity, Stand Structure and Carbon Stocks in a Tropical Forest in Ghana: Implications for Biodiversity Conservation and Ecosystem Services

International Journal of Forestry Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The extractive industry, particularly sand mining, underpins infrastructure and socioeconomic development in many tropical countries but poses severe ecological risks when poorly regulated. This study quantified the long‐term effects of sand extraction on plant diversity and conservation status, stand structure and carbon stocks at a 30‐year abandoned ...

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 ...

Burning Forest Biomass Is Not an Effective Climate Mitigation Response and Conflicts With Biodiversity Adaptation

Climate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 4, Issue 2, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Pathways are proposed for progressing the goal of decarbonizing economies that rely on burning forest biomass for heat and electricity (bioenergy) based on the proposition that this creates benefits for the climate. The potential for negative impacts on biodiversity are either assumed to be benign or ignored. We critically examined claims, and

The Influence of Dominant Habitats on Termite Species Diversity and Community Structure in the Brazilian Savanna

Austral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 12, December 2025.
We investigated the diversity and composition of termites across various habitats in the Brazilian Savanna. Studies like the one presented here enhance our understanding of the relationships and dynamics between termites and their environments. We found that termite communities were quite distinct, emphasising the importance of considering open ...

Bees and wasps (Aculeata) in young boreal forests [PDF]

, 2015
In Sweden, forest stands younger than 15 years constitute more than 10% of the total forest area. The aims of the research described in this thesis were to investigate how bees and wasps (Aculeata) use young boreal forests as nesting and feeding grounds.

How do Empirical Metacommunity Ecologists (not) Define Local Communities and How Could These be Better Defined?

Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 12, December 2025.
Metacommunity Theory assumes discrete local communities, yet empirically delineating such local communities is challenging. To resolve the gap between theoretical assumptions and empirical practice, we propose three alternative approaches for conceptualising what should be considered as a local community.
