Don Maser et al. (1979) reported that 178 vertebrates use logs in the
Blue Mountains 14 amphibians and reptiles, 115 birds, and 49 mammals; they
tabulated use by log decay classes for each species. Logs are considered
important in early successional stages as well as in old- growth forests.
The persistence of large logs has special importance in providing wildlife
with habitat continuity over long periods and through major disturbances
(Franklin, Cromack, Kermit, et al. others, 1981). Are all of these as
worthless as you claim maggots to be and just better if considered dead?

Really not much on cognitive thought, are you, deadwood? Show me where I
said maggots are worthless, or show me where a corpse is alive after maggots
have invaded. Better still show me how dead wood can be revived into a
living structure. Not the destructive elements breaking in down into it
basic materials, in your befuddle mind fish in the sea make the sea alive,
termites make dead wood alive, and your rediculous dictionary makes you
alive.

Or just explain how any of your above paragraph indicates that dead wood is
not dead, but alive. Use some source other than your dumb ass dictionary.

Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology.
Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding
us that we are not the boss.
Some people will buy products they do not understand and not buy books
that will give them understanding.
