Specialised woodpeckers and naturalness in hemiboreal forests - Deriving quantitative targets for conservation planning (2008, background): “Quantitative, ecologically-based targets for the amounts of dead wood and other critical structures are urgently needed to guide forest management and conservation (Guénette and Villard, 2005; Ranius and Fahrig, 2006; Poulin et al., 2008).”
Biodiversity in European beech forests - a review with recommendations for sustainable forest management (2010, background): “These extinction thresholds are species specific, with strong spatial and temporal components (Ranius and Fahrig 2006).”
The white-backed woodpecker: umbrella species for forest conservation planning? (2008, background): “SpeciWcally, better knowledge is needed regarding the quantities of diVerent types of coarse woody debris (with respect to tree species, dimensions, degree of decay, and light conditions) and other structures that are required at diVerent scales for the persistence of dead wood dependent species in ”
Wood-decaying fungi in the forest: conservation needs and management options (2007, background): “Currently, however, where sanitation measures are the rule, the average deadwood volumes in managed forests are so low that many species dependent on deadwood are conWned to protected areas (Rouvinen and Kouki 2002, see also Ranius and Fahrig 2006).”
Learning from a benign neglect strategy in a national park: Response of saproxylic beetles to dead wood accumulation (2010, background): “A disadvantage of specifying thresholds is that individual species responses may be continuous without a sharp breakpoints (Lindenmayer and Luck, 2005; Müller et al., 2009a; Ranius and Fahrig, 2006).”
Increasing temperature may compensate for lower amounts of dead wood in driving richness of saproxylic beetles (2015, background): “The amount of dead wood has been repeatedly proven as one important surrogate for biodiversity of wood-inhabiting species, with species richness increasing with increasing dead-wood volume following a power function (Ranius and Fahrig 2006).”
