Rodent-caused damage to forest trees from the viewpoint of forestry practice
Original language description
Small mammals cause serious damage to forests but there is only little knowledge about their ecology and possibilities of plantation protection. The objective of our study was to collect information on the damage caused by rodents to plantations of forest tree species. Data were obtained from small mammals damage survey conducted in 2008. Questionnaires were sent mostly to foresters engaged in Czech state forest enterprise. We obtained usable data from 316 foresters. The response rate was 81%. It was confirmed that rodents cause significant damage all over the Czech Republic and that occurrence of damage can not be easily predicted with a certainty as significant damage may appear perhaps at a small part of the threatened plantations where the key conditions for small mammals have been fulfilled. The main factors which affected probability of damage include: presence of a woody species attractive to rodents; suitable structure of ground vegetation enabling the pest species to breed suf
