Coarse Woody Debris’ Invertebrate Community Is Affected Directly by Canopy Type and Indirectly by Thinning in Mixed Scots Pine— European Beech Forests

Abstract: Research Highlights: Thinning and tree species alter the forest floor microclimate by modifying canopy cover, radiation, wind, and humidity. Thus, forest management can directly influence the edaphic mesofauna responsible for decomposing coarse woody debris (CWD). Background and Objectives...
