Forgotten role of fires in Central European forests: critical importance of early post-fire successional stages for bees and wasps (Hymenoptera: Aculeata)

Original language description

Forest fire remains among the most controversial topics in nature conservation. Here, we address changes in abundance and species composition of the bee and wasp community following a temperate forest crown fire that led to nearly complete defoliation and dieback of trees within 2 years. We found a highly dynamic community of 252 bee and wasp species (representing 18.8 % of total bee and wasp species known from the Czech Republic) that utilized 1-7-year-old burned forest stands. Species richness in theburned forest stands was significantly higher than that recorded in nearby forest that had been unaffected by any recent fire. The unburned forest hosted only 88 species. We found 42 red-listed species, of which 40 were present in the burned forest, while only 12 were present in the control forest. Numerous early- and late-responding species were detected, but maximum species diversity was reached 3 years after the fire. Only 7 of the total of 261 species were limited to the forest that
