Woodlands and woody debris: Understanding structure and composition to inform restoration. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 Simplification of stand structure of forests and woodlands through human-induced modification is a serious threat to biodiversity. Restoring lost habitat complexity and heterogeneity, such as woody debris, requires an understanding of the relationships ...

Influence of southern pine beetle on fungal communities of wood and bark decomposition of coarse woody debris in the New Jersey pine barrens [PDF]
Forestry Research, 2021 Dead coarse woody debris (fungal food resources) on the forest floor is an ignition source for forest fires. The rate of decomposition of the debris is largely influenced by fungi, determining its residence time on the forest floor.

Non-negligible role of dead organic matter in a rainforest remnant in Northeast Brazil [PDF]
Rodriguésia, 2022 Dead organic matter represents an essential reservoir of carbon, especially that allocated in standing dead trees, coarse woody debris, and fine litter, playing a pivotal role in nutrient cycling and habitat provisioning. However, necromass is frequently

WOODY DEBRIS CHARACTERIZATION IN A SMALL BASIN WITH ARAUCARIA FOREST [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Geomorfologia, 2021 The effect that wood deposited in a river, woody debris (WD), causes on its hydrogeomorphic processes depends on the dimensions of the wood and the channel. Studies related to WD are still very rare in Brazil. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to demonstrate the feasible methodology of field survey and to characterize the WD along a ...

Influence of Dynamic Woody Debris Jam on Single Bridge Pier Scour and Induced Hydraulic Head
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 A woody debris jam around a bridge pier causes a change in flow structure and results in additional scour and an increase in the hydraulic head upstream of the pier, threatening its stability and safety.
