Diameter of downed woody debris does matter for saproxylic beetle assemblages in temperate oak and pine forests (2011, background): “Very few studies have focused on smaller diameters (Schiegg 2001; Gedminas et al. 2007; Jonsell et al. 2007), and they were conducted in secondary forests of central or northern Europe.”
Influence of Forest Management on the Species Richness and Composition of Wood-inhabiting Basidiomycetes in Swiss Forests (2005, background): “dead wood with a minimum diameter of 10 cm (e.g. Harmon et al. 1986; Schiegg 2001 ).”
Long-term effects of logging intensity on structures, birds, saproxylic beetles and wood-inhabiting fungi in stands of European beech Fagus sylvatica L. (2007, background): “A third reason could be increasing amounts of wood remnants being left from logging in the selective logged stands of our study area may be beneficial for numerous saproxylic beetles and fungi (Schiegg, 2001; Heilmann-Clausen and Christensen, 2004).”
Arthropod biodiversity after forest fires: winners and losers in the winter fire regime of the southern Alps (2004, background): “Window interception traps are widely used to study Coleoptera in forest ecosystems (e.g. Kaila et al. 1997, Schiegg 2001 ).”
Dynamics of coarse woody debris following gap harvesting in the Acadian forest of central Maine, U.S.A. (2002, background): “Although fine woody debris or logging slash may contribute to the richness of wood-inhabiting cryptogams (Kruys and Jonsson 1999), saproxylic insect diversity (Schiegg 2001), or conifer seedling survival (McInnis and Roberts 1995), when compared with large-diameter CWD, it likely has less ecological”
Saproxylic beetles as indicator species for dead-wood amount and temperature in European beech forests (2012, unknown): “, 1998) as well as small branches (Schiegg, 2001) have been identified as critical habitats for rare or red-listed beetle species or for saproxylic indicator species.”
Fungal diversity on decaying beech logs – implications for sustainable forestry (2003, background): “A long history of forest management has, accordingly, led to a considerable decrease for organisms depending on cwd all over Europe (e.g. Berg et al. 1994; Kotiranta et al. 1998; Stoltze and Pihl 1998; Schiegg 2001; Sittonen 2001).”
Saproxylic beetle assemblages related to silvicultural management intensity and stand structures in a beech forest in Southern Germany (2008, unknown): “In contrary to other regions in Germany, this area was selectively harvested and low quality trees were removed.”
Biological Flora of the British Isles: Fagus sylvatica (2012, background): “Interestingly, although it is normally thought that a large bole is better for conserving saproxylic insects, Schiegg (2001) in a study in Switzerland found that limbs of beech held 529 species of saproxylic Diptera and Coleoptera while trunks held 237 species.”
