DOI: 10.1007/s10021-019-00381-x
Abstract: Fine and coarse woody debris (WD), or woody necromass, serves a multitude of functions in forests including: essential habitat for countless vertebrate, arthropod and microbial species; substrate for regenerating plants, for example as nurse logs;… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10346-018-1036-7
Abstract: Debris flows occurring in well-vegetated alpine areas usually contain a range of sizes of woody debris. Large woody debris (LWD), which has a retaining effect on further transportation of debris downstream, is mainly distributed in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11676-020-01192-w
Abstract: Stocking and structural composition of a deciduous broad-leaved forest were determined to predict coarse woody debris quantity by quantifying the empirical relationships between these two attributes. The most ecologically significant families by stem density were… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2019.07.012
Abstract: Abstract Landscapes of fear have become widely studied in the northern hemisphere, but are still largely understudied in the more complex, diverse carnivore-prey communities of Africa. Habitat changes brought about by a megaherbivore, the African… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2017.09.008
Abstract: Forests are an important component of the global carbon (C) cycle: they can capture and retain large amounts of C annually, depending on stand characteristics, climate, and disturbance regimes. With climate and disturbance regimes shifting,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2018.02.010
Abstract: Abstract Timber harvests may facilitate ant invasions of forested landscapes, fostering interactions between non-native and native ants. Harvests that include removal of low-value woody biomass as forest bioenergy feedstock may reduce residual coarse woody debris,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2019.117535
Abstract: Abstract Restoration practices are much needed on clearcut openings in commercial forest landscapes where some mammal species have declined in abundance from a loss of preferred food, cover, and other components of stand structure. Retention… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.geomorph.2019.04.010
Abstract: Abstract Sediment transport pathways and resulting erosion-deposition patterns across beach-foredune systems can be complex. Although a great deal is known about the effects of wind fetch, surface moisture, topographic forcing, and vegetation cover, the role… read more here.
