Changes in plant debris and carbon stocks across a subalpine forest successional series
Forest Ecosystems, 2021 Background As a structurally and functionally important component in forest ecosystems, plant debris plays a crucial role in the global carbon cycle. Although it is well known that plant debris stocks vary greatly with tree species composition, forest ...

Regulation effect of slit-check dam against woody debris flow: Laboratory test
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 Woody debris flows (i.e., debris flows carrying wood) are common in mountainous and forested areas. They can cause more severe hazards due to the effects of LW (woody debris larger than 1 m in length and 10 cm in width) compared to debris flows without ...

The Mass Loss and Humification of Stumps and Roots in Masson Pine Plantations Based on Log File Records. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Stumps account for a large proportion of coarse woody debris in managed forests, but their decay dynamics are poorly understood. The loss of mass and the degree of humification of the above-ground woody debris, below-ground woody debris, bark and root ...

Hydraulic model test on channel shifting and yielding woody debris on the fan after sediment disaster in the past [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 The re-movement of sediment and woody debris in torrents after huge sediment transport in the past could cause new flood and sediment disasters due to heavy rainfall events.

Inferring spatial variations in velocity profiles and bed geometry of natural debris flows based on discharge estimates from high-frequency 3D LiDAR point clouds; Illgraben, Switzerland [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 More detailed field measurements are required for a better understanding of surging debris flows. In this work, we analyze a debris flow at the field-scale using timelapse point clouds from a high-resolution, high-frequency 3D LiDAR sensor, which has ...

MODELLING TRANSPORT AND FATE OF WOODY DEBRIS IN COASTAL WATERS
Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 2020 Woody debris is ubiquitous in coastal waters, and on shorelines proximate to forested regions. Logs and driftwood play a vital role in coastal and global ecosystems, and can provide valuable data to support studies of oceanography, geomorphology, ecology, history and archaeology.
