Fossils document the existence of trees and wood-associated
organisms from almost 400 million years ago, and today there are
between 400,000 and 1 million wood-inhabiting species in the world.
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.
