The strictly protected Swiss stone pine (Pinus cembra) is one of the most valuable elements of Polish dendroflora, naturally distributed only in the Tatra Mts. (S Poland/N Slovakia). In 2008−2009 intense P. cembra dieback was recorded in Slovak part of the mountains, especially in the localities adjacent to the Norway spruce stands affected by bark beetle Ips typographus outbreak. The mortality of...
The research was carried out in the economic and natural Forest Reserve ‘Yertys Ormany’ in Pavlodarsk Oblast (Kazakhstan) in 2018. In the middle of May, two barrier traps of the ‘Netocia’ type (30, in total) were installed on each research plot damaged by wind, fire and great pine web – spinning pine sawfly – Acantholyda posticalis Mats. Insects were caught every month, from mid−June to mid−August...
Acantholyda posticalis Mats. for over twenty years increases the extent of occurrence and causes defoliation of Scots pine stands. The population size is estimated annually based on the autumn surveys of phytophagous insects, but accuracy of these prognoses is far from satisfactory. The aim of the study was to describe the spatial distribution of pre−imaginal stages of A. posticalis wintering in the...
The nun moth Lymantria monacha L. and pine lappet moth Dendrolimus pini L. belong to the insects occurring in cyclical outbreak threatening the sustainability of Scots pine Pinus sylvestris L. forests. The populations of both species are reduced in aerial treatments carried out in Poland on thousands of hectares. Therefore there still is a need to implement to the forest practice insecticides that...
Repeating outbreaks of the Scots pine pests, effecting in stands damages, are the most important problems of forest protection. In extreme cases they pose a real threat to the stability of stands. Naturally occurring entomopathogenic nematodes are important regulatory factors in insect populations. Many species are employed as biological agents to control the insect pests. The objectives of this research...
The Białowieża Forest (BF) is in many respects an exceptional object, of a great importance for nature protection and forest management, at the international scale. The BF plays also a key role from the point of view of regional development and welfare of local community. In the last period, a big threat for multiple values of the BF has arisen, as a result of enormous bark beetle infestation, which...
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...
In the end of 2013 the Norway spruce stands in the Kościelska Valley in the Tatra National Park (S Poland) were severely damaged by the wind. In the next year about 22,000 m³ of timber from broken and fallen trees was processed and removed from the active protection zone, whilst in the strict protection zone those trees were left. In 2014, when the presented survey started, the infestation of lying...
