Dendroecological Applications to Coarse Woody Debris Dynamics
2017Coarse woody debris plays a crucial role in forest ecosystems. The current amount of woody debris on a given site represents a balance between additions (tree mortality) and depletions (wood decomposition, combustion, transport). Understanding woody debris dynamics has recently gained much attention, primarily because of the need to improve forest ...

Transport of large woody debris in the presence of obstacles
Geomorphology, 2006Flume experiments were carried out to investigate the motion of large woody debris (LWD) in rivers as influenced by the presence of obstacles. Non-rooted, defoliated LWD was modelled by placing properly scaled wooden dowels placed into controlled water flow.

Analysis of sampling methods for coarse woody debris
Forest Ecology and Management, 2004Abstract Coarse woody debris (CWD) is an important structural component of forest ecosystems and plays a key role in ecosystem functioning. It includes whole fallen trees and branches, pieces of fragmented wood, stumps, and standing dead trees (snags). A number of sampling approaches have been used to quantify CWD but there has been little systematic

Anchoring Methods for Large Woody Debris Structures
2003, Las Vegas, NV July 27-30, 2003, 2003Proper anchoring of LWD structures is essential to the success of a bioengineering project. This paper covers three of the more common anchoring methods used, which include driven soil anchors, screw-in soil anchors, and cabling to boulders or bedrock. Also covered is a method for estimating the pullout capacity required of the anchor and connecting

Ecology of Coarse Woody Debris in Temperate Ecosystems
1986Publisher Summary This chapter reviews the rates at which Coarse Woody Debris (CWD) is added and removed from ecosystems, the biomass found in streams and forests, and many functions that CWD serves. CWD is an important component of temperate stream and forest ecosystems and is added to the ecosystem by numerous mechanisms, including wind, fire ...

The structure and hydraulics of natural woody debris jams
2006While the importance of woody debris in rivers has been well-studied within the past few decades, the dynamics of the woody debris jam is often overlooked. This study focuses on the woody debris jam treating it as a complex and porous accumulation of heterogeneous material.
