Purpose: Coarse woody debris (CWD) is a fundamental component of forested ecosystems, providing habitat for organisms and play an important role in nutrient cycling and carbon storage.

Statement: Coarse woody debris sampling: Coarse woody debris (CWD) was sampled at the Samford Peri-Urban core 1 ha site in 2012 and 2014 - 2016. The core 1 hectare was subdivided in 25 (20 m x 20 m) subplots. Within each subplot, the diameter at the base (thickest part), the top (thinnest part) and the length of all CWD pieces and standing dead trees (> 10 cm diameter) were measured. Void space was not recorded and was assigned a zero for all CWD and standing dead trees. Decay class classification and wood density based on Baker and Chao (2011) were recorded for each CWD and standing dead tree. Calculation of coarse woody debris volume, mass and biomass The volume and biomass of CWD and standing dead trees were calculated using the formulas outlined in Baker and Chao (2011). The volume of the CWD segment was computed using the Smalian's formula: V = H x (S + s) / 2, where S and s are the diameters at the base and top of the segment, respectively and H is the length of the CWD piece. Biomass was calculated by the volume x wood density x the proportion of solid wood (S = 1 – proportion void space).
