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; (

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.

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 ...

Impacts of harvesting intensity on carbon allocation to species, size classes and pools in mangrove forests, and the relationships with stand structural attributes

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Mangroves are vital ecosystems that help mitigate climate change and natural hazards, despite representing only 0.5% of the world's coastlines. Recent studies have provided empirical evidence of the ongoing over-exploitation of mangrove forests in West ...

SEGMENTATION OF SINGLE STANDING DEAD TREES IN HIGH-RESOLUTION AERIAL IMAGERY WITH GENERATIVE ADVERSARIAL NETWORK-BASED SHAPE PRIORS

, 2020
. The use of multispectral imagery for monitoring biodiversity in ecosystems is becoming widespread. A key parameter of forest ecosystems is the distribution of dead wood.

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 ...

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.
