Variation in the contribution of macroinvertebrates to wood decomposition as it progresses
EcosphereAlthough necromass decay rates are limited by the slowest portions to decompose, most decomposition studies examine only the earliest stage of decay. As such, these studies run the risk of yielding misleading results regarding the relative contributions ...

Controls of Initial Wood Decomposition on and in Forest Soils Using Standard Material
Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022 Forest ecosystems sequester approximately half of the world’s organic carbon (C), most of it in the soil. The amount of soil C stored depends on the input and decomposition rate of soil organic matter (OM), which is controlled by the abundance and ...

Structures of wood fractions and volumes of wood components in spruce biogeocenoses of the taiga of European Russia [PDF]
Сибирский лесной журнал, 2022 The problem of assessing the balance of accumulated and degraded woody biomass in forest communities, the budget of C, CO2, H2O, and Q (energy) in primary virgin forests of different ages of spruce formations in the taiga zone of European Russia is ...

Modeling persistence of coarse woody debris residuals in boreal forests as an ecological property
Ecosphere, 2021 There is a trade‐off between leaving coarse woody debris (CWD) in the stand, providing desirable ecosystem services, and harvesting it. To consider this trade‐off, forest management needs to model describing the decomposition of CWD.

Decomposition of Organic Chemical Components in Wood by Tropical Xylaria Species
Journal of Fungi, 2020 The ability of Xylaria species obtained from tropical wood and leaf litter to cause a mass loss of lignin and carbohydrates in wood was examined in vitro with pure culture decomposition tests.

Relationship between the decomposition process of coarse woody debris and fungal community structure as detected by high-throughput sequencing in a deciduous broad-leaved forest in Japan. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 We examined the relationship between the community structure of wood-decaying fungi, detected by high-throughput sequencing, and the decomposition rate using 13 years of data from a forest dynamics plot.
