The structure of spruce-fir tree stands mortality under impact of the Middle Ural copper smelter emissions [PDF]
Сибирский лесной журнал, 2015 The influence of industrial pollution on mortality values (dead fallen wood and dead standing trees) and its distribution by degrees of decomposition were investigated in spruce-fir forest stands in the vicinity of the Middle Ural copper smelter (the ...

The use of dead stand trees by birds: a prospective study in a Brazilian hydroelectric dam [PDF]
Biota Neotropica, 2020 Abstract: Hydropower constructions cause severe disturbances to biodiversity. Arboreal plants die after flooding; however, they expose their emerged branches (also called paliteiros) as a new habitat for animals and plants. Nothing is known about how paliteiros influence the presence of aquatic birds.

Standing-dead tree component of the boreal forest in central Saskatchewan
Forest Ecology and Management, 2000 Abstract The standing-dead tree component was assessed in part of the upland forests in the mixedwood boreal forest in central Saskatchewan. Comparisons of the average number of dead trees per hectare were made between softwood stands, softwood-dominant mixedwood stands, hardwood-dominant mixedwood stands and hardwood stands.

Remote Sensing, 2023 Deadwood is an important key ecological element for forest ecosystem biodiversity. Its low occurrence, especially in managed forests, makes inventory through field campaigns challenging. Remote sensing can provide a more objective and systematic approach to detect deadwood for large areas.

Fuel Dynamics Following Wildfire in US Northern Rockies Forests
Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2020 Accumulation of dead woody material is a critical management concern following wildfires, especially given the possibility of subsequent wildfires. Forest structure and fuel accumulation are largely driven by site climatic conditions, so variability in ...

Snag dynamic in a mixed Beech forest [PDF]
تحقیقات جنگل و صنوبر ایران, 2010 Dead tree, which consisting of both standing dead tree and material that has fallen to the ground, is a dynamic resource in forest ecosystem. In order to investigate on falling and dynamic model of snags (standing dead trees) in a mixed beech forest ...
