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.

Preliminary estimates of fallen dead wood and standing dead trees in managed and unmanaged forests in Britain [PDF]

Journal of Applied Ecology, 1998
1.  The amount of dead wood, particularly as fallen dead wood and standing dead trees, in British forests is attracting attention from forest managers as part of their interest in increasing biodiversity within forests managed for timber. Existing levels of dead wood in managed and unmanaged forests were assessed to provide a basis for what might be ...

Decadal dead wood biomass dynamics of coterminous US forests

Environmental Research Letters, 2021
Due to global change, temperate forests are expected to face growing threats to forest health (e.g. insects/disease) and increasing probabilities of severe disturbances (e.g.

Tropical montane forest in South Asia: Composition, structure, and dieback in relation to soils and topography

Ecosphere, 2022
We evaluated the composition, structure, and dieback of a montane forest in relation to soils and physiography of an important biogeographic region that has been sparsely studied. Our objectives were to (1) describe the forest composition and structure; (
