Dead wood and its key role in nature
Dead trees with peeling bark, dead branches, trunks riddled with holes, rotten remains covered in fungi, fallen giants with crowns of roots. We are all familiar with the many forms of dead wood in the forest. Less well known is the key role that dead wood plays in nature. Ten percent of all species on land depend on it. In a forest, this figure is at least 25 percent. Dead wood therefore guarantees an explosion of life. So the more dead wood that remains, the greater the biodiversity.
