Summary |
bibliography 2 copies AUTHOR:Chris Maser REMARKS:ABSTRACT: Large, fallen trees in various stages of decay contribute much-needed diversity to terrestial and aquatic habitats in western forests. When most biological activity in soil is limited by low moisture availability in summer, the fallen tree-soil interface offers a relatively cool, moist habitat for animals and a substrate for microbial and root activity. Intensified utilization and management can deprive future forests of large, fallen trees. The impact of this loss on habitat diversity and on long-term forest productivity must be determined because managers need sound information on which to base resource management decisions. |
