We report boring activity of larval Lutrochus germari Grouvelle, 1889 and Stegoelmis sp. in submerged woody debris and describe the resulting grooves and faecal pellet production.

A landslide can generate large amounts of debris in the form of boulders, cobbles, soil, and wood. The woody debris produced by a landslide flows into a downstream river or village; it can form obstructions in the stream and destroy houses. In this study,

Stress partitioning in streams by large woody debris [PDF]
Using simple theoretical models and field measurements from a spring‐dominated stream, we quantify how large woody debris affect channel hydraulics and morphology at both the local and reach‐averaged scales. Because spring‐dominated streams have nearly constant discharge, they provide a unique natural opportunity to study flow and transport processes ...

Sampling system for estimating woody debris in an urban mixed tropical forest
Woody debris, defined as standing and downed deadwood, consists in an essential component of the forest carbon stock. However, few studies have been carried out to get an efficient and accurate sampling procedure for estimating it. This work proposes two

Flume Experiments on Wood Debris Jam at An Arch Bridge in Upstream River Reach during Flash Flood
During our field surveys, two types of woody debris deposition were found. One is deposition of individual wood pieces and the other is formation of woody debris jams at obstructions such as a bridge.

Coarse Woody Debris in Primary and Secondary Middle Taiga Spruce Forests
Restoration of the pool of coarse woody debris after disturbances is one of the mechanisms for maintaining the stability of forest biogeocenoses. The studies of coarse woody debris have been carried out in the “Vepssky Forest” Reserve in the Leningrad ...

Declining populations of wild pollinators have increased the interest in the management of human-modified landscapes for pollinator conservation. Modified landscape features, such as power-line clearings, may provide valuable habitats with increased ...
