Wood-decaying fungi are essential for the functioning of forest ecosystems. They provide
habitat for many other organisms and enable the regeneration of forests throughout the …

Coarse woody debris (CWD) is the standing and fallen dead wood in a forest and serves an
important role in ecosystem functioning. There have been several studies that include …

Forest conservation has become one of the most important environmental issues currently
facing humanity, as a result of widespread deforestation and forest degradation. Pressures …

Nous présentons une synthèse des connaissances actuelles concernant l'apport,

We recorded and reviewed densities and basal areas of large living and dead trees in old-
growth forest in Europe. Recorded densities were similar to those reported from old-growth …

We review species richness in major organism groups, mainly using examples from northern
Europe. A high proportion of these species is forest living, and large numbers are dependent …

Question: Which are the structural attributes and the history of old‐growth Fagus forest in
Mediterranean montane environments? What are the processes underlying their structural …

Large pieces of standing or fallen dead wood, known as coarse woody debris (CWD), play
important roles in temperate forest carbon and nutrient cycles, and affect the abundance and …

We examined the dynamics of down coarse woody debris (CWD) under an expanding-gap
harvesting system in the Acadian forest of Maine. Gap harvesting treatments included 20 …

Coarse woody debris (CWD) is generally considered as dead woody materials in various
stages of decomposition, including sound and rotting logs, snags, and large branches. CWD …
