The influence of forest management on the abundance and diversity of hoverflies in commercial plantations of Sitka spruce: the importance of sampling in the canopy

2017-12-01

Abstract excerpt

The majority of Sitka spruce plantations in the UK are managed by clear-cutting and replanting, which leads to the formation of relatively large blocks (5–30ha) of even-aged, closely spaced trees. These stands are considered to be poor in terms of general biodiversity and vulnerable to outbreaks of insect pests and diseases. In contrast, stands managed using alternative silvicultural systems, such as shelterwood o...
