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, considered as the last primeval forest on the European Plain and in Poland mostly known as the oldest national park, in recent years has faced the bark beetle (Ips typographus) infestation located mostly in its managed part of three forest districts: Białowieża, Browsk and Hajnówka. Undertaken protection measures, mostly consisted of dead and infested trees removal, has induced...
Bats have a set of features that make them very effective insects predators, thus they can potentially play an important role as a biological pest control agent in forests. The active flight ability, nocturnal lifestyle, high level of metabolism and a lack of a significant threat from predators make bats the most important predators of insects active in the evening and at night. All bats species noted...
The resilience of forest ecosystems to climate changes such as elevated temperature and frequent drought episodes, strongly depends on how the soil subsystems and its inhabitants responds to these perturbation. The epigeic soil Collembola communities of mature mixed deciduous forest and adjacent young plantation on moderately humid soil were compared in two consecutive years, out of which the second...
Based on literature review, the occurrence and biology of the sharp−dentated bark beetle Ips acuminatus (Gyll.) in Scots pine stands of Europe was presented. The economic significance of this species in Poland over the past 50 years was also characterized, including the size of the damage caused as a result of trees infestation. The sharp−dentated bark beetle belongs to the most dangerous pest of...
The aim of the study was to analyse the changes in abundance and species composition of dung beetles (coprophagous Scarabaeoidea) inhabiting Scots pine stands in various stage of the development. Beetles were collected in baited traps in Człuchów Forest, Pomeranian Lake District (NW Paland). In total we collected 87,596 specimens representing 41 species (tab. 2). The structure of dung beetle communities...
Korniki: drzewotocz japoński - Xylosandrus germanus (Bldf.), drwalniczek – Xyleborinus attenuatus (Bldf.), drwalnik – Trypodendron laeve i Gnathotrichus materiarius (Fitch) Egg. (Coleoptera, Curculionidae, Scolytinae) to obce gatunki w faunie Polski. Drzewotocz japoński Xylosandrus germanus jest też gatunkiem inwazyjnym, który znany jest z 11 stanowisk w prawie całym kraju. Liczebność tego gatunku...
The assemblages of Coleoptera have been examined in the managed and reserved mature pine forests of Lithuania since 1997. Beetles have been sampled from the forest litter using sieves. The present study is based on the data of 20 litter samples (10 samples per each stand) taken in the period from October 2013 to February 2014. Each sample was compiled of 5 smaller ones taking all litter (up to mineral...
Carabid beetles are frequently used as the environment condition indicators. Main purpose of this study was to test if community structure parameters of carabids indicate the stress intensity of heavy metal contamination in the soil of temperate forests. Three geographic regions in Europe differing in both degree of accumulation of heavy metals and its quality were chosen. In Olkusz (southern Poland)...
