Abstract:Deadwood, and its temporal and spatial variation, plays an important role in several forest ecosystem services. This study demonstrates the assessment of deadwood dynamics using data from Slovenian national forest inventory permanent sampling plots, employing a mass-balance approach. Our results reveal that deadwood volume is a highly variable metric across regions, deadwood types and tree species. Despite the influx of large volumes of new deadwood due to recent natural disturbances, only moderate increases in deadwood volume were observed between 2007 and 2018. This was mainly offset by deadwood losses due to salvage logging and decomposition. The extent of deadwood losses varied considerably by species. We discuss the implications of the calculation method on estimating changes in deadwood volume, compare these findings with existing literature on deadwood and highlight promising areas for future research activities to better understand deadwood dynamics.

Title:Značilnosti in dinamika odmrlega lesa v slovenskih gozdovih
Abstract:Odmrla lesna biomasa (odmrli les) in njene spremembe v času in prostoru so pomembne z vidika različnih ekosistemskih storitev gozdov. V članku je prikazano, kako je mogoče z uporabo bilančne metode (vnosi, iznosi) in podatkov s trajnih vzorčnih ploskev nacionalne gozdne inventure oceniti dinamiko odmrlega lesa. Rezultati prikazujejo spremenljivost količine odmrlega lesa glede na ekoregije, tipe odmrlega lesa in drevesne vrste. Zmerno povečanje količine odmrlega lesa med letoma 2007 in 2018 je bilo kljub povečanju količin novega odmrlega lesa kot posledice naravnih ujm kompenzirano z zmanjševanjem količin odmrlega lesa, predvsem zaradi povečanih sanitarnih sečenj in razkroja. Opažene izgube odmrlega lesa se precej razlikujejo glede na drevesno vrsto.
