Investigating the biodiversity of the forest strata: The importance of vertical stratification to the activity and development of saproxylic beetles in managed temperate deciduous forests
Original language description
Saproxylic beetles represent an important part of the chain of decay processes and are of high interest for understanding the main drivers of forest community succession.The main aims of this paper were to determine (i) the differences between communities of the crown and stem strata and (ii) the effect of fine vertical stratification within the studied strata on adult saproxylic beetle activity and the success of larval development. The study was performed over three years in mature oak-dominated managed forests in Poland. The activity and development of the beetles was evaluated based on sampling from 60 traps and 60 logs, respectively. In total, 11,237 individuals representing 364 species of saproxylic beetles were trapped and 388 individuals representing 38 species were reared. Compared with most previous studies, our results indicated that the majority of dependent variables (the species richness and abundance of saproxylic beetles and their functional groups, sub-guilds, and conservation-rela
