This is the first book to synthesise the natural history and conservation needs of wood-inhabiting organisms. Presenting a thorough introduction to biodiversity in decaying wood, the book studies the rich diversity of fungi, insects and vertebrates that depend upon dead wood. It describes the functional diversity of these organisms and their specific habitat requirements in terms of host trees, decay phases, tree dimensions, microhabitats and the surrounding environment. Recognising the threats posed by timber extraction and forest management, the authors also present management options for protecting and maintaining the diversity of these species in forests as well as in agricultural landscapes and urban parks. 0aForest biodiversity 0aForest ecology 0aWood-decaying fungi1 aSiitonen, Juha,eauthor.1 aJonsson, Bengt Gunnar,eauthor.08iPrint version: z9780521888738 0aEcology, Biodiversity and Conservation.40uhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1017/CBO9781139025843zCambridge Books Online  c236604d236604
