Background Despite empirical support for an increase in ecosystem productivity with species diversity synthetic systems, there is ample evidence that this relationship dependent on environmental characteristics, especially structurally more complex natural systems. Empirical forests urgently needed, as these ecosystems play important role carbon sequestration. Methodology/Principal Findings We tested whether tree wood production positively related to richness while controlling climatic...
Predicting climate-driven changes in plant distribution is crucial for biodiversity conservation and management under recent climate change. Climate warming expected to induce movement of species upslope towards higher latitudes. However, the mechanisms physiological processes behind altitudinal latitudinal range a tree are complex depend on each features vary over ontogenetic stages. We investigated differences between juvenile adult individuals seven major European along elevational...
The current nature of forest management in Poland reflects its history and more than 100 years economic activity affecting forests since independence 1918. Before that time, different models were used, related to the Prussian economy north country, Russian central-eastern part, Austrian south-eastern Poland. consequence these models, as well differing climate zones which they resulted varied health. Since end World War II, coverage within Poland‘s new borders has increased from 20.8%...

Abstract Spruce bark beetle Ips typographus (L.) (Col.: Curculionidae, Scolytinae) outbreaks occur in managed and protected forests alike, but although known of for a long time, management control this insect is controversial subject due to the forests’ diverse nature protection status. In paper, an overview beetle, conditions leading outbreaks, natural enemies efficiency measures presented put into perspective with regards current controversies concerning outbreak management. The Białowieża...
A dramatic forest decline due to the bark beetle outbreak, which occurs in Norway spruce stands Western Beskidy (southern Poland) since 2003, was started after severe physiological drought during winter time. An analysis describing some spatio-temporal characteristics of this process, with special regard patterns occurrence related root fungal diseases, is presented. In 2003 level assessed as high and catastrophic recorded on 40% area, while 2006 - 59%. The range Armillaria disease outbreak...
Abstract The study estimated the efficacy of a net coated with alpha-cypermethrin used to protect Norway spruce [ Picea abies (L.) H. Karst] wood against bark beetle infestations. inside was 100 mg/m 2 alpha-cypermethrin. studies carried out in 2010 and 2011 took place southern Poland Beskid Żywiecki Sądecki mountains P. stands threatened by Ips typographus (Linnaeus, 1758). research material consisted logs taken off 70–80-year-old trees. were wrapped early spring before swarming beetles....
Abstract In 2011-2013, trials on the use of entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana against bark beetle (Ips typographus) populations were carried out under open field conditions in Norway spruce stands suffering from an outbreak Beskid Żywiecki Mts. Poland. Modified pheromone traps deployed to capture and thereafter release fungus-infected beetles forest environment. Infested trees felled next remained unaffected by transmission insect populations. Direct spraying or dusting lying trap...
This paper is a review of fundamental information on bark beetles and their interactions with several predisposing factors (air pollution, drought/temperature interactions, windthrows, management activities) that are thought to contribute the outbreaks in High Tatra Mountains. The findings many research projects indicate impact air pollution beetle populations indirect complex disturbances physiology natural resistance trees may be crucial importance population dynamics. An active forest...
Abstract Recently, Norway spruce stands in Beskid Żywiecki (Western Carpathians) have been plagued by bark beetle outbreak affecting an extensive area over a large range of altitudes. Georeferenced data (2356 records) from 2009-2011 the volume felled spruces showing insect infestation forest sub-compartments were analysed with respect to selected site and stand characteristics. The intensity varied between individual parts examined area. Spruce mortality, recorded evenly across all slope...
The distribution of the double spined spruce engraver beetle Ips duplicatus ranges from Scandinavia and northeastern Europe to northern Asia. In Europe, I. usually is associated with typographus on Picea abies, due morphological similarities similar gallery constructions damage significance are often not recognised thus underestimated. has been recently reported southern part Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, parts Austria Germany; records missing many other central European countries (e.g.,...
Spruce is regarded as the only host plant of Ips duplicatus in Central Europe, whereas this beetle exceptionally occurs on pine Siberia. Its occurrence Pinus strobes and sylvestris was discovered eastern part Czech Republic southern Poland, where population density has been increased for a long time Norway spruce. However, all cases concerned single trees which were growing forest complexes with spruce dominance. The most likely explanation merely consequence typical shortage.
