To investigate the decomposition processes of enriched deadwood, we simultaneously placed 3,669 size-standardized and gamma sterilized wood specimens of 13 tree species ( Populus tremula, Tilia cordata, Prunus avium, Betula pendula, Carpinus betulus, Fraxinus excelsior, Quercus robur, Fagus sylvatica, Acer platanoides, Larix decidua, Pinus sylvestris, Picea abies , and Pseudotsuga menziesii ) at a total of 300 forest and grassland plots in three regions in Germany covering large gradients of management intensity and environmental conditions. After 1 year, mass loss was calculated and its relationship with wood traits and environmental conditions was assessed to determine the most important factors. Mass loss was overall higher in forest compared to grassland habitats, with wood traits as the most important driver, followed by region and environmental factors related to microclimate. However, management intensity was less relevant to explain the mass loss in both habitats. Our results suggest that decomposition of enriched deadwood, even after removal of endophytes, is influenced by the same drivers (positively by moisture and abundance of macronutrients, negatively by lignin and phenol concentration) as naturally occurring wood. Furthermore, due to the immense and standardized experimental setting, our study contributes to a better understanding of the important drivers of mass loss in different tree species and thus provides the basis for predictions of the carbon cycle in a changing world.

They host rich resident bird communities and, in winter, receive large numbers of migrants from Central and Northern European woodlands. Many species are partly or entirely dependent on ground foraging and, since in winter food is often the most limiting factor for birds, maintaining suitable ground habitat is crucial. To study how grazing influences suitability of winter ground habitat for birds, we carried out an experiment in a wooded grassland in Southern Iberia, whereby grazing was controlled in 12 purposely fenced two-hectare plots (4 x 15 sheep/ha, 4 x 3 sheep/ha and 4 x no grazing). We quantified ground habitat features, food abundance and intensity of use by ground-foraging birds in each of these 12 plots. In addition, we made focal observations of birds feeding on the ground and compared the habitat of 1m(2) foraging patches with those of nearby control patches. We found that virtually all birds prefer to forage in patches with short ground vegetation and high food abundance. Measurements of these parameters in the experimental plots showed that while grazing shortens vegetation it decreases food availability, and thus has opposing effects on important determinants of habitat suitability. Nevertheless, the numbers of birds foraging in the plots indicate that, overall, grazing benefits the assemblage of ground-feeding birds, presumably because for most species the advantages of foraging in less cluttered habitats more than compensate the lower abundance of prey. However, arboreal bird species that make short foraging forays to the ground had lower numbers in grazed plots. Most bird species that forage on the ground benefited from grazing, and although they can forage under a broad range of grazing levels, some showed clear preferences along the gradient of grazing intensity. Such preferences should be taken into consideration by managers. In general, grazing should be maintained at a level sufficient to open up ground vegetation, increasing the area occupied by patches of short vegetation, in which almost all bird species prefer to forage. At moderate levels, grazing is thus a valuable management tool to promote winter bird habitat quality in Mediterranean wooded grasslands, while increasing the economic value of these threatened landscapes.

The source data for this study was obtained from the national inventory of TAL performed in 2010-2012 in Slovakia, where woody vegetation was considered as one of the landscape elements creating mosaic of TAL. Based on the types of woodland present, which endow the landscape with a distinctive character and structure, we have divided TAL into five subtypes: 1) TAL with low occurrence of woodland – not more than 10 % of the site covered by woods, 2) TAL with spatial woodland formation, 3) TAL with solitaire trees dominant, 4) TAL with lines of trees or shrubs dominant, and 5) TAL with small woodland dominant.
