Coarse woody debris constitutes an important and often indispensable habitat component for a huge number of vertebrates dwelling in temperate forests. The paper collates the results of research on the impact of coarse woody debris on the functioning of the Rodentia and Soricomorpha populations. In reference to this groups of vertebrates, the subject has been well−documented in the North America. Nevertheless,...

Beavers activity i.e. dam building, burrows and canals digging and foraging, radically changes the environment at both abiotic and biotic level. The consequences of beavers activity for other organisms are visible mainly through changes in their habitats. Such changes influence the number, species composition and species diversity of numerous flora and fauna species. One group of species that also...
The role of the rodents in forest regeneration includes both negative (seed and seedlings consumption) and positive (seed dispersal) aspects. The objective of this paper is to review the knowledge of this dual effect of the rodents on forest regeneration after disturbance, particularly in temperate managed forest stands. Many studies have demonstrated that consumption of seeds and seedlings by rodents...
