DOI: 10.1007/s10980-020-01115-4
Abstract: Context Dead wood is a key habitat for saproxylic species, which are often used as indicators of habitat quality in forests. Understanding how the amount and spatial distribution of dead wood in the landscape affects saproxylic… read more here.

Experiments with dead wood reveal the importance of dead branches in the canopy for saproxylic beetle conservation

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2017.11.052
Abstract: Abstract Vertical gradients of habitats are a typical characteristic of forest ecosystems. Sun-exposed dead wood in the upper canopy, for instance, provides a habitat for saproxylic beetles distinct from that in the more shaded dead… read more here.

Is shelterwood harvesting preferable over clear-cutting for sustaining dead-wood pools? The case of Estonian conifer forests

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2018.07.026
Abstract: Abstract Shelterwood is commonly assumed to be a more nature-friendly silvicultural system than clear-cutting. However, dead-wood pools – a key characteristic of natural forest – have been seldom compared between these systems. We investigated how… read more here.

Saproxylic beetle assemblages in recently dead Scots pines: How traits modulate species’ response to forest management?

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2020.118300
Abstract: Abstract Boreal forests have been intensively managed, influencing the spatiotemporal occurrence of dead wood, and leading to changes in saproxylic species assemblages. Some particular traits, such as habitat specialization, can be expected to make species… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2020.118859
Abstract: Abstract Dead wood, including dead standing trees (DST) and coarse woody debris (CWD), is a critical component of forest ecosystems that provides habitat and refugia for fauna, flora, and microbial communities and plays a key… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.landurbplan.2021.104222
Abstract: Abstract Urban forests are often remnants of former larger forested areas, and traditionally considered as degraded habitats due to negative effects of urbanization. However, recent studies have shown that urban forests managed for recreational purposes… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-021-21149-9
Abstract: A key uncertainty in quantifying dead wood carbon (C) stocks—which comprise ~8% of total forest C pools globally—is a lack of accurate dead wood C fractions (CFs) that are employed to convert dead woody biomass… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2745.12930
Abstract: Forest ecosystems have been subjected to intensive exploitation, and on top of these land use-driven habitat alterations, there is an ongoing and rapid climate change. Understanding why environmental responses differ across species and how differences… read more here.
