The seen and unseen world of the fallen tree.
Abstract
Large fallen trees in various stages of decay contribute much-needed diversity to terrestrial and aquatic habitats in unmanaged old-growth Douglas fir forests. When most biological activity in soil is limited by low moisture availability in summer, the interface between soil and a fallen tree offers a relatively cool, moist habitat for small animals and substrate for microbial and root activity. Increased utilization and management can deprive future stands of large fallen trees and smaller woody debris. Visible and invisible stages in the decay of fallen trees are discussed to encourage awareness of the losses in habitat diversity and long-term site productivity that may result from increased removal of woody debris from streams and forests in the name of economic progress.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
