Structural Recovery of Overlooked Shrublands Drives Asymmetric Restoration in Dryland Ecosystems

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Current remote sensing of dryland ecosystems is fundamentally limited by a reliance on vegetation indices (“greenness”), which struggle to disentangle mixed pixel signals and fail to capture the non‐photosynthetic structural components critical for resilience.

Red‐listed species under threat: Unexpectedly high deadwood thresholds for their presence in managed boreal forests

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
We show that deadwood volume is a reliable, taxon‐specific indicator of the presence of red‐listed bryophytes and fungi but not lichens. By explicitly focusing on threatened species and deriving statistically defined thresholds from managed boreal forests, our study provides empirical benchmarks that go beyond commonly used biodiversity indicators. The

Deadwood occurrence and forest structure as indicators of old-growth forest conditions in Mediterranean mountainous ecosystems

, 2012
"In order to identify the distinctive traits of old-growth forests in a Mediterranean context, deadwood occurrence and forest stand structures were investigated in some remote forest areas developedgrown in absence of anthropogenic disturbance over the ...

Deadwood Characteristics in Mature and Old-Growth Birch Stands and Their Implications for Carbon Storage

, 2020
As one of the most abundant tree species in the hemiboreal zone, birch is important from both commercial and biodiversity perspectives. While old-growth deciduous stands are important for biodiversity conservation with an emphasis on deadwood ...

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.

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

Ecological 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 ...

Towards Right Answer for the Right Reasons in Global Land Carbon Sink Estimates

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 4, April 2026.
We review the main approaches used to estimate the global land carbon sink. Using evidence from FLUXNET, we show that improving these estimates requires not only matching the total land carbon sink, but also correctly capturing the links among carbon uptake, respiration, and water loss.

Species characteristics predict the effectiveness of avian survey methods in an Afromontane sky‐island

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 2, Page 520-540, April 2026.
Biodiversity conservation requires effective monitoring of ecological communities in remote locations, where limited accessibility often restricts survey efforts. Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) is becoming an established method for measuring biodiversity, facilitated by the increased accessibility of autonomous recording units.

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 ...
