Decomposition dynamics of coarse woody debris of three important central European tree species
... Similar to our findings, a literature review on CWD de- composition had indicated that tree species had a stronger influence on decomposition and nutrient dynamics than the abiotic environment (Laiho and Prescott 2004). ...

Stock and Flow of Carbon in Plant Woody Debris in Two Different Types of Natural Forests in Bateke Plateau, Central Africa
... The vegetation of Central Africa is broadly composed of the Congo drainage basin and contiguous humid closed- canopy forests and less well known, coarse areas of savannah and forest-savannah mosaics often composed of ...

Influence of transect length and downed woody debris abundance on precision of the line-intersect sampling method
... progress from this perspective, beyond inference based on the design that was actually employed (except for changes in the number, rather than the length, of sample tran- sects). While a design-based approach has ...

Coarse woody debris, macrofungal assemblages, and sustainable forest management in a Eucalyptus obliqua forest of southern Tasmania
... Wildfires in southern Tasmania’s native forests generate dead wood of varying sizes and in many different stages of decay depending on the intensity and the frequency of fires. The dead wood input can be immediate with ...

Transient catchment hydrology after wildfires in a Mediterranean basin: runoff, sediment and woody debris
... Experiments with cylindrical pieces of wood were made in a 30 m long, 1 m wide laboratory flume using hand-made wooden dowels of known properties to reproduce the situation of woody debris from fallen trees ...

Dendrochronological dating of large woody debris on the example of Morávka River and Černá Opava River
... Out of the 29 samples taken at the fi rst site, 79 % were species with diff use-porous wood structure. This group of wood species is the most diffi cult to date dendrochronologically. As a result, only four sam- ples could ...

Black Carbon on Coarse Woody Debris in Once- and Twice-Burned Mixed-Conifer Forest
... Coarse woody debris and associated char- coal were sampled in August 2014 using the planar intercept method (Donato et al. 2009). Sampling transects were arranged in a 30 m × 30 m square oriented to the ...

A simplified inventory approach for estimating carbon in coarse woody debris in high biomass forests
... Coarse woody debris (CWD) comprises all aboveground dead woody biomass that exceeds certain thresholds in diameter and length. It includes standing (snags or stags), and downed boles (logs) and ...

Characteristics of coarse woody debris in successional stages of natural beech ( Fagus orientalis ) forests of Northern Iran
... Coarse woody debris (CWD) is dead woody ma- terial in various stages of decomposition, includ- ing fresh and rotting logs, snags, stumps and large branches (Harmon, Sexton ...

Effects of Creating Two Forest Structures and Using Prescribed Fire on Coarse Woody Debris in Northeastern California, USA
... Coarse woody debris is typically defined as dead sound and decaying logs, stumps, and coarse roots that are generally greater than 7.5 cm in diameter (Stevens 1997). However, the minimum size for CWD is not ...
