Disturbances, such as fire and wind, are important for saproxylic beetles (= beetles
depending on decaying wood) to gain substrate in boreal forests. Clear-cutting is an …

The occurrence of Upis ceramboides (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) was investigated within a
225 km2 landscape of managed boreal forest in central Sweden. All clear-cuts made …

Abandoned management has caused many sites with free-standing, large oaks (Quercus
robur) to become more shaded. This study shows how forest regrowth affects beetle species …

In a study of the effect of forest clear-cutting on the saproxylic beetle fauna in aspen in
Norwegian boreonemoral forest, we find that both sun exposure and substrate are important …

Intensive forest management in Scandinavia has decreased the amount of dead wood
required by saproxylic (wood-living) organisms. To reduce this problem, some dead wood is …

High stumps are often retained at clear cuttings to increase the abundance of habitat
patches for saproxylic (wood living) insects. However, these high stumps constitutes a very …

The aim of this study was to compare the saproxylic beetle fauna between lowland and
upland beech Fagus sylvatica forests in southern Sweden and to relate differences in …

The habitat requirements of 11 beetle species associated with tree hollows were studied by
correlating their occupancy with characteristics of the oaks and the number of hollow oaks in …

To preserve biodiversity in managed forest landscapes dead and living trees are retained at
final cuttings. In the present study we evaluated the effect of these practices for saproxylic …

Before modern forestry started, forest fire was the dominating large-scale disturbance in
boreal forest. Prescribed burning of clear-cuts is increasingly used as a conservation …
