Decadal dead wood biomass dynamics of coterminous US forests
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.

The population structure of the lichen Lobaria pulmonaria in the middle boreal forests depends on the time-since-disturbance [PDF]
The population structure of the lichen Lobaria pulmonaria (L.) Hoffm. was analyzed in the Vodlozersky National Park (Karelia, Russia), for middle boreal forest stands having a time-since-disturbance spanning 80 to 450 years.

Abundant and rare spiders on tree trunks in German forests (Arachnida, Araneae) [PDF]
The spider fauna active on the bark of trees in forests on eight sites in different regions in Germany was investigated. Trunk eclectors at about 2-4 meters height on living trees were used in different regions of Germany (SW Bavaria, Hesse, Brandenburg)

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