The influence of forest regrowth, original canopy cover and tree size on saproxylic beetles associated with old oaks [PDF]
, 2000 Abandoned management has caused many sites with free-standing, large oaks (Quercus robur) to become more shaded. This study shows how forest regrowth affects beetle species associated with old oaks in south-eastern Sweden. Beetles were trapped by pitfall

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.

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 ...

Prunus serotina unleashed: invader dominance after 70 years of forest development [PDF]
, 2009 Propagule pressure and disturbance have both been found to facilitate invasion. Therefore, knowledge on the history of introduction and disturbance is vital for understanding an invasion process, and research should focus on areas in which the invasive ...
