Stump harvesting is defined as an intensification of forest management in comparison with
stem‐only harvesting and removal of tops and branches. It increases soil mixing and the …

Stumps are the largest coarse woody debris component in managed forests, but their role in
nutrient cycling is poorly understood. We studied carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) dynamics in …

Key message Primary remains of Eucalyptus (E. urophylla× E. grandis) plantations following
clear-cutting are the stumps and coarse roots. A chrono-sequence approach revealed that …

The majority of terrestrial biomass is wood, but the elemental composition of its potential
consumers, xylophages, differs hugely from that of wood. This causes a severe nutritional …

The biomass and decomposition of coarse woody debris (CWD,≥ 10cm in diameter) were
studied in a monsoon evergreen broad-leaved old-growth forest in Dinghushan Nature …

Timber harvests remove a significant portion of ecosystem carbon. While some of the wood
products moved off‐site may last past the harvest cycle of the particular forest crop, the effect …

Post-fire coarse woody debris can represent a valuable nutrient reservoir for a regenerating
ecosystem, helping to prevent soil fertility losses after a wildfire. However, there is scarce …

As an ecological unit, coarse woody debris (CWD) plays an essential role in productivity,
nutrient cycling, carbon sequestration, community regeneration and biodiversity. However …

Executive summary The available literature relating to the economic costs of hill country soil
erosion and the benefits of its control in New Zealand and overseas was reviewed and …

This study aimed to examine the dynamics of soil functional indicators under the influence of
deadwood in old mixed beech forests in northern Iran. In January and February 2006 …
