How do you know the acronym CWD -> coarse woody debris? That’s not one most people are aware of

I’m an ecology major and that came up a lot in the papers I read. It largely shows up in forest ecology papers, which should have an overlap with chronic wasting disease, considering that deer populations have had this for a while and deer play a huge role in forest ecology.

First time my senior seminar class encountered it in an assigned paper, we all asked why that particular acronym.

It’s been largely a meme in that seminar class as a result.

That’s amazing. as you can probably guess, my background is in reclamation, so we use CWD a lot to create microsites, and control the speed of water across the landscape

That’s super cool. What would be the impact of the CWD with controlling the speed of water on the surroundings? Id assume probably erosion reduction would be the goal?
