- •
Decomposition of tree log bark is characterized by complex dynamics.
- •
It integrates bark mineralization, peeling, consumption by insects and sloughing.
- •
Log bark characteristics do not necessarily correlate with CWD decay class.
- •
The decomposition rate averaged 0.147 yr−1 for birch, aspen and spruce log bark.
- •
Scots pine bark had the highest decomposition rate (0.291 yr−1).
