Cost‐Efficiency of Decaying Wood as a Surrogate for Overall Species Richness in Boreal Forests
Abstract: Decaying wood is one of the most important elements for species richness in boreal forests. We tested how well reserve selection based on the amount and quality of decaying wood results in a representation of four ecologically different taxa (beetles, birds, wood‐inhabiting fungi, and vasc...

We tested how well reserve selection based on the amount and quality of decaying wood results in a representation of four ecologically different taxa (beetles, birds, wood‐inhabiting fungi, and vascular plants).

Decaying wood was a relatively good indicator of saproxylic species but not overall species richness. Even though dead wood did not reflect accurately overall species richness, our results indicated that the use of decaying wood as an indicator in site selection was more cost‐efficient than using information from large‐scale species inventories. Thus, decaying wood is a valuable surrogate for species richness, but other cost‐efficient indicators that reflect the requirements of those species which are not dependent on decaying wood should be identified.
