Fate of Postharvest Woody Debris, Mammal Habitat, and Alternative Management of Forest Residues on Clearcuts: A Synthesis

Abstract: Coarse woody debris on the forest floor contributes to maintenance of forest biodiversity and long-term ecosystem productivity. Down wood is often dispersed over harvested sites during logging activities, thereby leaving piles of postharvest debris as “excess” material at landings and roadsides. These wood residues may be burned in most jurisdictions in North America to reduce a perceived fire hazard. The fire hazard debate needs to acknowledge the documented benefits of woody debris retention while striking a… Show more

“…Forest residues and deadwood are major sources of nutrients and carbon (Janowiak and Webster 2010, Palviainen Variations in quantity and quality of residues affect soil fertility (Mayer et al 2020), putting at risk site regeneration and future growth of forests (Bače et al 2012, Bauer et al 2000, Motta et al 2006, Zielonka and Niklasson 2001. Furthermore, forest biodiversity can also be affected by disturbance regimes such forest fires and bark beetle outbreaks (Carlson et al 2017, Mattson et al 2019, Sullivan et al 2021. Moreover, they create uncertainty in carbon stock quantification since fine residues are usually ignored in the estimations (Maas et al 2020).…”
