Primeval forests in the temperate zone exist only as a few remnants, but theses serve important reference areas for conservation. As key habitats, tree-related microhabitats (TreMs) are of intense interest to forest ecologists, little is known about their natural composition and dynamics different tree species. Beech forms major part that extend from Europe, home European beech Fagus sylvatica L. (Fs), eastward Iran, where Oriental orientalis Lipsky (Fo) dominant In this study, we compared...
Saproxylic beetles play a vital role in conservation as indicators of the status unmanaged forests. In light concern regarding adverse impact anthropogenic pressure on biodiversity, an essential step forest conserva-tion strategy is identification saproxylic beetles. The Hyrcanian forests are unique remnant natural broadleaf temperate forests, with evolutionary history that can be traced to Tertiary and high diversity tree species. Here we present first checklist including 398 species...
