Amount, structure, and dynamics of dead wood on managed forestland in Sweden

Abstract

The study clarifies that a DW-inventory integrated within a national forest inventory is a usable tool for monitoring the amount, structure, and dynamics of DW. The results obtained are important for governmental authorities, forest companies, and NGOs, in their work towards environmental policies and objectives. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
