Deadwood residence time in alluvial hardwood temperate forests - A key aspect of biodiversity conservation
Original language description
There are hundreds of scientific papers dealing with the issues of biodiversity and extinction debt in temperate forests, both of which are partly related to the absence of deadwood. Some studies have derived habitat thresholds for deadwood (according tospecies, size, spatial distribution) as baselines for management recommendations. But a majority of studies have one important knowledge gap - how long does it take for deadwood to decompose? To derive the residence time of deadwood, we used a 40-year time series of 4 censuses in European lowland hardwood temperate forests. The deadwood residence of 2252 logs of 5 main tree species was calculated using Bayesian Survival Trajectory Analysis. Pedunculate oak (. Quercus robur) had the longest residence time, with the largest logs decomposing for an average of 62. years. Next was narrow-leaved ash (. Fraxinus angustifolia) with a residence time of about 42. years. Field maple (. Acer campestre) and hornbeam (. Carpinus betulus) had a simil
