The Noble Chafer and traditional orchards: Evaluating the role of indicator species in the conservation of cultural landscapes

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 695-705, March 2026.
Abstract England's traditional orchards are important habitats for a range of invertebrate species, providing biodiverse habitat for many species not found in other landscapes. Increased loss of these once common landscape features, exacerbated by changing land use, anthropogenic habitat fragmentation, and the loss of traditional or customary practices,

Effects of habitat quality and fine‐scale spatial structure on epiphytic lichen and bryophyte communities

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 3, March 2026.
Host‐tree identity, particularly bark physico‐chemical traits, emerged as the dominant driver of epiphytic lichen and bryophyte community composition in this closed‐canopy temperate forest system, while microclimate plays a subordinate role. Spatial structure and proximity contributed additional effects for both groups, but for lichens, habitat ...

How do forest structure and composition near trees with black woodpecker (Dryocopus martius L.) cavities differ from the surrounding forest? A multisite approach in French forests

open access: yesAnnals of Forest Science
Key message In French temperate lowland and mountain forests, the black woodpecker (Dryocopus martius L.) excavates preferably trees in beech-dominated sites, with a lower fraction of small-diameter trees than in the surrounding areas, while the presence

Quantity and diversity of deadwood in the Wapienny Las forest

open access: yes, 2016
Managed forests, which account for the vast majority of woodland areas in Poland, play a major role in preserving biodiversity. The objective of this work was to determine the diversity of woody microsites in a managed forest covering 27 ha of land in ...

Forest deadwood on ICP-Forest Level I - subplot 2

open access: yes, 2018
The present dataset provides information on forest deadwood collected on 3243 plots among 19 European countries. Information are related to standing dead trees (SDT), lying dead trees (LDT), coarse woody debris (CWD), snags, and stumps.

Windthrown elements: a key point improving microsite amelioration and browsing protection to transplanted seedlings

open access: yes, 2022
Mountain forest dynamics and ecosystems services are critically influenced by disturbances, in particular storm events. After extensive disturbance, the large amount of deadwood lying on ground and the necessity for restoring the forest cover with ...

Old-growth mixed beech-dominated forests continue accumulating carbon with advancing age

open access: yesForest Ecosystems
Old-growth forests uniquely support biodiversity while serving as some of the planet's most important carbon stocks. The influence of tree and stand age on carbon flux dynamics remains debated—an urgent question as climate-driven disturbances may reshape

Forest-mensurational characteristics of Picea abies (L.) Karst. forest stands in the primeval forest groups of the Chyvchyno-Hryniavsky Mountains of the Verkhovynskyi National Nature Park

open access: yesНаукові праці Лісівничої академії наук України
The studied old-growth spruce forests are of natural origin, these are uneven-aged forests, characterized by the presence of dead-standing trees and trees on the verge of physiological development, the presence of a significant amount of self-seeding ...

Multiple forest structural elements are needed to promote beetle biomass, diversity and abundance

open access: yes, 2022
BackgroundRetention forestry is a management strategy aiming to mitigate biodiversity loss by retaining structural elements such as dead trees that would otherwise be removed.

DEADWOOD IN FOREST STANDS CLOSE TO OLD-GROWTHNESS UNDER MEDITERRANEAN CONDITIONS IN THE ITALIAN PENINSULA

open access: yes, 2010
Considering that indicators of old-growth features can vary across the European ecoregions, this paper provides some results to identify the distinctive traits of old-growth forests in the Mediterranean ecoregion.
