Forest Ecology and Biodiversity Studies

This cluster of papers focuses on saproxylic insect ecology, wood decomposition, and the sustainable management of forests. It explores the relationships between dead wood, forest management practices, and the biodiversity of saproxylic organisms such as beetles and fungi. The papers also investigate the role of coarse woody debris in ecosystem functioning and provide recommendations for biodiversity conservation based on habitat requirements and global meta-analyses.
