Microbial Communities in Standing Dead Trees in Ghost Forests are Largely Aerobic, Saprophytic, and Methanotrophic. [PDF]

Curr Microbiol
AbstractStanding dead trees (snags) are recognized for their influence on methane (CH4) cycling in coastal wetlands, yet the biogeochemical processes that control the magnitude and direction of fluxes across the snag-atmosphere interface are not fully elucidated.

Stock of standing dead trees in boreal forests of Central Siberia

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2021
Abstract A significant part of carbon assimilated by forest is deposited in tree trunks. Growth and development of tree stands is accompanied by accumulation of standing dead trees (snags) due to natural tree mortality and as a result of the impact of exogenous factors.

Standing dead trees as indicators of vertebrate diversity: Bringing continuity to the ecological role of senescent trees in austral temperate forests

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Standing dead trees are known to house diverse assemblages of vertebrates in temperate forests worldwide. In temperate austral forests of South America, however, the functional role of dead trees has been mostly focused on cavity provision, but other ...

Seed dispersal and tree legacies influence spatial patterns of plant invasion dynamics

Frontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics, 2023
Invasive plant species alter community dynamics and ecosystem properties, potentially leading to regime shifts. Here, the invasion of a non-native tree species into a stand of native tree species is simulated using an agent-based model.

Impacts of the US southeast wood pellet industry on local forest carbon stocks

Scientific Reports, 2022
We assessed the net impacts of a wood-dependent pellet industry of global importance on contemporaneous local forest carbon component pools (live trees, standing-dead trees, soils) and total stocks.

Composition of live, dead and downed trees in Järvselja old-growth forest

Metsanduslikud Uurimused, 2022
The study area is in the Järvselja Training and Experimental Forest Centre, Estonia. The conservation of Järvselja old-growth forest started in 1924 when the area was excluded from all management activities and left to natural development.

Large-Scale Mapping of Tree Species and Dead Trees in Šumava National Park and Bavarian Forest National Park Using Lidar and Multispectral Imagery

Remote Sensing, 2020
Knowledge of forest structures—and of dead wood in particular—is fundamental to understanding, managing, and preserving the biodiversity of our forests.

Simulations on the occurrence of dead trees in natural pine stands. [PDF]

Silva Fennica, 1989
The study aimed at recognizing the phases of forest succession where dead trees most probably occur. The model simulations showed that the increasing occurrence of dead trees culminated after the canopy closure. Thereafter the occurrence of dead trees decreased representing a pattern where high frequency of dead trees was followed by low frequency of ...

Late-successional and old-growth forests in the northeastern United States: Structure, dynamics, and prospects for restoration. [PDF]

, 2013
Restoration of old-growth forest structure is an emerging silvicultural goal, especially in those regions where old-growth abundance falls below the historic range of variability.
