Dead Wood - At least a half-truth. A loose term. Its too easy to call something dead. It would be unusual to find a mass of wood in a forest that does not contain some form of living cells, basically speaking. Biomass. Maybe people should know what a symplast is. See "symplastless". Remember - symplastless branches and trees in urban areas can be a high risk of hazard. Symplastless branches are in the final stages of being shed - with the help of the succession of microorganisms.
