| fungi and wind strongly influence the temporal availability of logs in an old-growth spruce forest. | coarse woody debris (cwd) is a key habitat for many species in forest ecosystems. to ensure the long-term survival of such species, forest management regimes must include measures that promote dead wood dynamics similar to those of natural forests. thus, information on cwd dynamics under natural conditions is required, including data pertaining to the underlying agents of disturbance. this study examines modes of mortality, decay rates, and temporal patterns in the availability of picea abies lo ... | 2007 | 17489254 |
