Tree diversity and forest resistance to insect pests: patterns, mechanisms, and prospects
Ecological research conducted over the past five decades has shown that increasing tree
species richness at forest stands can improve tree resistance to insect pest damage …

The influence of tree diversity on natural enemies—a review of the “enemies” hypothesis in forests
Abstract Purpose of Review Natural enemies are an important component for forest
functioning. By consuming herbivores, they can be effective top-down regulators of potential …

Effects of forest management on ground-dwelling beetles (Coleoptera; Carabidae, Staphylinidae) in Central Europe are mainly mediated by changes in forest …
Forest management is known to influence species diversity of various taxa but inconsistent
or even contrasting effects are reported for arthropods. Regional differences in management …

Metabarcoding reveals that mixed forests mitigate negative effects of non‐native trees on canopy arthropod diversity
Averting climate change‐induced forest diebacks increasingly relies on tree species planted
outside of their natural range and on the addition of non‐native tree species to mixed …

Tree species identity, canopy structure and prey availability differentially affect canopy spider diversity and trophic composition
Forest canopies maintain a high proportion of arthropod diversity. The drivers that structure
these communities, however, are poorly understood. Therefore, integrative research …

Conifers and non-native tree species shift trophic niches of generalist arthropod predators in Central European beech forests
Background Functional diversity is vital for forest ecosystem resilience in times of climate-

Monoculture and mixture-planting of non-native Douglas fir alters species composition, but promotes the diversity of ground beetles in a temperate forest system
P Kriegel, D Matevski, A Schuldt - Biodiversity and Conservation, 2021 - Springer
Planting non-native tree species, like Douglas fir in temperate European forest systems, is
encouraged to mitigate effects of climate change. However, Douglas fir monocultures often …

Carabid activity‐density increases with forest vegetation diversity at different spatial scales
More diverse forests are generally more resistant to insect herbivores. This might be due to
positive effects of tree diversity on predation. Although the enemies hypothesis has received …
