• Regeneration responses to gap size and coarse woody debris within natural disturbance-based silvicultural systems in northeastern Minnesota, USA (2011, background): “Decay classes were defined according to Fraver et al. (2002) as: class I (wood is sound, bark intact, smaller to medium sized branches present); class II (wood is sound to partially rotten, branch stubs firmly attached with only larger stubs present, some bark slippage); class III (wood is…”
• Disturbance dynamics of old-growth Picea rubens forests of northern Maine (2005, methodology): “The volumes of pieces in decay class IV were multiplied by the ratio between cross-sectional log height and width (0.575) to account for their elliptical cross-sections resulting from the collapse during decomposition (Fraver et al. 2002).”
• Understory vegetation in old-growth and second-growth Tsuga canadensis forests in western Massachusetts (2009, background): “In this study, the abundance of highly decayed downed 16 wood (decay class III and IV combined, after Fraver et al. 2002) was almost five times greater in 17 old-growth forests compared to second-growth forests (56.2 vs. 11.6 m 3 /ha).”
• Comparing composition and structure in old-growth and harvested (selection and diameter-limit cuts) northern hardwood stands in Quebec (2005, methodology): “To mitigate the likely shortage in large trees and highly ecologically valuable dead wood, we recommend implementing somevariants of the tree retention approaches advocated in clearcut systems, either by leaving some existing snags and large living trees dispersedwithin stands(GoodburnandLorimer,199”
