Importance of active conservation management for spider communities in National Nature Monument Kukle

Original language description

The objective of the present study was to investigate the impact of active logging interventions on spiders in formerly coppiced oak-hornbeam forests in the Kukle National Nature Monument, which were conserved for overall 80 years without any active conservation management. Ten study plots were selected for the research, which were subsequently divided into five unmanaged plots (control) and five, where active conservation management took place in the last 2-3 years. The spiders were collected using pitfall traps during vegetation season of 2018. We used three pitfall traps per plot, placed five meters from each other across the diagonal of each research plot. A total of 5,445 adult spiders belonging to 17 families, 47 genera and 82 species were captured. Of the 82 species found, 72 were on the plots with active conservation management and 49 on the unmanaged plots. The species richness, conservation value and presence of rare and endangered species was significantly higher in areas under active conservation management. The results show that the forest opening and restoration of the management in the form of a transfer to the coppiced forest with standards had a positive effect on the overall diversity of the spiders in oak woodlands. However, the logging activities should not be applied by large scale clearings.
