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...
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...
Biological invasions are one of the most important problems of nature conservation, which affect several branches of forestry and game management. In case of recent invasions, there is a problem with assessment of invasion intensity due to insufficient quantity of data. In Poland, eight of 31 game species are alien and three small predators are serious threat to biological diversity. The most recent...
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)...
Beavers activity i.e. dam building, burrows and canals digging and foraging, radically changes the environment at both abiotic and biotic level. The consequences of beavers activity for other organisms are visible mainly through changes in their habitats. Such changes influence the number, species composition and species diversity of numerous flora and fauna species. One group of species that also...
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)...
