Woody biomass is increasingly harvested in Canadian boreal forests as a source of
bioenergy. However, there is concern over the environmental sustainability of harvesting …

The community structures of Mesostigmata, Prostigmata, and Oribatida in the soil of broad-
leaved regeneration forests and conifer plantations of various ages were assessed …

We investigated the oribatid mite density, community structure and the percentage of
parthenogenetic individuals in four different forest types across three regions in Germany in …

The aim of this study was to assess the impact of clear-cutting and wildfire on soil Oribatida
in spruce forest stands in the High Tatra Mts.(Slovakia), which were heavily damaged by …

Bitumen extraction via surface mining has affected nearly 1000 km 2 of boreal forest habitat
in the Athabasca oil sands region of Alberta, Canada, pushing entire ecosystems back to the …

Abstract Most forests in Central Europe are subject to human management, especially
timber harvesting, which alters soil conditions by creating gaps in the forest canopy and …

variable-retention harvesting in the EMEND (Ecosystem Management Emulating Natural …

Intensive land use has been shown to alter the composition and functioning of soil
communities. Due to their low dispersal ability, oribatid mites are particularly vulnerable to …

Although exogenous factors such as pollutants can act on endogenous drivers (eg
dispersion) of populations and create spatially autocorrelated distributions, most statistical …

Stump extraction for bio energy is a new forestry activity and before large‐scale
implementation occurs, it is important to analyse its consequences. Saproxylic beetles …
