Response of saproxylic beetles to tree species composition in a secondary urban forest area
Original language description
Urban secondary forest areas are still not in the focus of studies of forest biodiversity. Beetles (Coleoptera) are one of the key groups for assessing biodiversity. I studied beetle fauna and its response to tree species composition using flying interception traps placed on the trunks of dead and withered trees. This study was carried out in Landek, a forest area in an urban agglomeration of one of the largest central European cities, Ostrava (Czech Republic). My results show that species composition and richness and population densities of beetles in this urban forest area may be rather high. Beech (Fagus sylvatica), as the main tree species present, was more species rich and supported more individuals than admixed tree species (oak. hornbeam and ash). I obtained the same results for a group of obligate saproxylic beetles and two of their guilds (old and rotten dead wood, and wood-decaying fungi and mycelia). The beeches also maintained a higher diversity (or were close to being sign
