Natural regeneration in Central-European subalpine spruce forests: Which logs are suitable for seedling recruitment? (2012, background): “by bryophytes increases seed retention; however, an excessively thick moss layer negatively affects the emergence and survival of current-year seedlings (Harmon and Franklin, 1989; Iijima and Shibuya, 2010; Takahashi et al., 2000).”
Substrate-associated seedling recruitment and establishment of major conifer species in an old-growth subalpine forest in central Japan (2004, background): “Among these substrates, woody debris (WD or coarse woody debris (CWD)), which is mainly composed of fallen logs, serves as ‘‘nurse logs’’ for the formation and maintenance of conifer seedling banks (Franklin et al., 1979; Harmon and Franklin, 1989; Takahashi et al., 2000).”
Dynamics of coarse woody debris following gap harvesting in the Acadian forest of central Maine, U.S.A. (2002, background): “Well-decayed CWD is particularly important in this regard, as it has the highest moisture content (Savely 1939; Lampert and Lang 1980; Maser and Trappe 1984; Sollins et al. 1987; Takahashi et al. 2000).”
