The amount and dynamics of forest dead wood (both standing and downed) has been
quantified by a variety of approaches throughout the forest science and ecology literature …

Coarse woody debris (CWD) is an important and particular component of forest ecosystems
and is extremely important to forest health. This review describes the decomposition …

Cold conditions delay bioremediation of oil hydrocarbons, but other bottlenecks also affect
the outcome. Means to stimulate biodegradation of diesel oil hydrocarbons in contaminated …

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 …

Carbon sequestration by afforestation can help mitigate global climate change but may have
adverse environmental and economic impacts in some regions. For example, economic …

I have attempted to reach a wide range of readers, from those with no formal forestry
education through to forest scientists involved in research. This has meant dealing with …

Narrowing the uncertainties in coarse woody debris (CWD) decomposition rates depending
on the ecosystem and substrate attributes can improve our understanding of biodiversity …

Taking a functional rather than an ecosystem or a utilitarian approach, Thomas and
Packham provide a concise account of the structure of woodlands and forests. Using …

The main objective of our study has been to determine the role of deadwood in the sha**
of the amount of soil organic matter fractions in mountain forest soils. For this purpose, a …

Tree mortality rates are increasing within tropical rainforests as a result of global
environmental change. When trees die, gaps are created in forest canopies and carbon is …
