Abstract:
... In the last decades, the structural and functional role of standing dead trees and lying deadwood in forests has been widely recognized by scientific community and forest managers. However, a large amount of deadwood in forests can have negative impacts on recreational forests by reducing the aesthetic value and site attractiveness. The aims of the present study are to investigate whether deadwood ...

Abstract:
... Seed orchards function as the primary source of high-quality seeds for reforestation in many European countries, but their seed yields can be severely reduced due to seed- and cone-feeding insects. We evaluated various parameters of pheromone-based mating disruption for control of the moths Cydia strobilella and Dioryctria abietella, which are major pests in European Picea abies seed orchards. We ...

Abstract:
... Common Crossbill (Loxia curvirostra) populations are dependent on specific key conifer species for their primary food supply, but many of these conifers standardly show irregular cone crop production. Consequently, the species has evolved a nomadic behavior, breeding in areas with a high crop production in given years. Northern European crossbills mostly forage on Norway Spruce (Picea abies) and m ...
