This is the first book to synthesise the natural history and conservation needs of wood-inhabiting organisms. Presenting a thorough introduction to biodiversity in decaying wood, the book studies the rich diversity of fungi, insects and vertebrates that depend upon dead wood. It describes the functional diversity of these organisms and their specific habitat requirements in terms of host trees, decay phases, tree dimensions, microhabitats and the surrounding environment. Recognising the threats posed by timber extraction and forest management, the authors also present management options for protecting and maintaining the diversity of these species in forests as well as in agricultural landscapes and urban parks. 410 0$aEcology, biodiversity, and conservation. 606 $aForest biodiversity 606 $aForest litter$xBiodegradation 606 $aWood$xDeterioration 606 $aForest ecology 606 $aWood-decaying fungi 606 $aSaproxylic insects 615 0$aForest biodiversity. 615 0$aForest litter$xBiodegradation. 615 0$aWood$xDeterioration. 615 0$aForest ecology. 615 0$aWood-decaying fungi. 615 0$aSaproxylic insects. 676 $a577.34 686 $aSCI020000$2bisacsh 700 $aStokland$b Jogeir N.$01485361 702 $aSiitonen$b Juha 702 $aJonsson$b Bengt Gunnar 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779154003321 996 $aBiodiversity in dead wood$93704463 997 $aUNINA
