The study analyzes the available literature published in ‘Sylwan’ relating to the problem of forest protection against insects and parasitic fungi occurring both in managed stands and in protected forests in Poland. The rich publishing output of the ‘Sylwan’ journal, contained in the 200−year history of its existence, was used. Against the background of historical, political and economic changes,...
Seedlings produced with a covered root system were intended to be used in the afforestation of ‘difficult’ soils in post−agricultural lands, on post−fire areas, in wastelands, within zones of industrial damage or on mining heaps. It is assumed that the suitable substrate and properly grown seedling ensure a good start for a plant in a new, unfavorable environment. In many forest districts so−called...
Root−feeding insects are an increasingly studied group of herbivores, whose impact on plant productivity and are some of the most damaging forest pests in Europe. Due to the mass feeding on the roots of seedlings and older trees in young plantation and stands, Melolonthinae larvae are classified as pests, which are the most dangerous on the land dedicated to afforestation. The research was located...
A Fibroporia gossypium (Speg.) Parmasto fruit-body was found on a Norway spruce [Picea abies (L.) Karst.] stump in the northeast of Poland (Waliły forest district). The mycelium from wood samples was sequenced (KF725876), identified and used to examine: (i) linear growth of the mycelium on malt-extract medium and (ii) the decay of spruce wood samples. We observed slow mycelium growth (84 mm colony...
Effects of Scots pine wood amendment on the fungal community in forest soil infested with cockchafers and foraged or non-foraged by wild boars and hares were investigated. We hypothesized that sawdust amendment would increase the abundance of entomopathogenic and insect-associated species effective in cockchafer predation. The soil dilution method and morphotyping were used for fungal isolation and...
Oak decline is insufficiently described problem. Declining oaks are in various age and the most commonly observed symptoms of the disease include growth inhibition and buds mortality. The dieback occurs periodically, mainly because of the impact of abiotic factors (drought, frost and the lowering of the groundwater level). In this complex phenomenon the biological factors, including numerous species...
Number of Melolontha grubs in forest soils reforested with Scots pine (Lubartów A, LA, Lubartow B, LB) and those in post agricultural soils afforested with this species (Swierczyna, SW) were assessed before (autumn 2011, spring 2012) and one year after (2013) planting. At the same time, mortality of seedlings was evaluated on both study sites. Pine sawdust was mixed with soil in rows (treatment T1)...
Ectomycorrhizal communities associated with Pinus sylvestris L. saplings growing on abandoned post agricultural soils were studied. 1-year-old seedlings inoculated with either Suillus luteus Fr. or Thelephora terrestris (Ehrh.) Fr. had been outplanted on three sites. We investigated the long-term effect (6 and 8 years after outplanting) of inoculation on ectomycorrhizal composition and species richness...
