Dead wood as an indicator of forest naturalness: A comparison of methods

2015-10-01

Abstract excerpt

Several measures related to dead wood have been used as indicators of forest naturalness, but their general applicability and comparability is unclear. We compared five dead wood related measures: volume of dead wood, dead wood diversity index, number of cut stumps, dead wood continuity profile and number of kelo trees (specific type of dead pine trees). Furthermore, we studied if these indicators provide similar...
