Arthropods as bioindicators of sustainable forest management, with a focus on plantation forests
Here we review the bioindicator potentials of several arthropod groups in forest
management. First, we describe the indicator potentials of frequently used arthropod groups …

Influence of environmental parameters on small-scale distribution of soil-dwelling spiders in forests: what makes the difference, tree species or microhabitat?
TM Ziesche, M Roth - Forest Ecology and Management, 2008 - Elsevier
We surveyed the soil-dwelling spider communities of four stand types of forests (pure stands:
spruce, Douglas fir; mixed stands: beech-spruce, oak-beech) along a successional gradient …

Can multi‐taxa diversity in European beech forest landscapes be increased by combining different management systems?
Forest management greatly influences biodiversity across spatial scales. At the landscape
scale, combining management systems that create different stand properties might promote …

Effects of urbanization on ground-dwelling spiders in forest patches, in Hungary
Abstract Effects of urbanization on ground-dwelling spiders (Araneae) were studied using
pitfall traps along an urban-suburban–rural forest gradient in Debrecen (Hungary). We found …

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 …

Impact of canopy openness on spider communities: implications for conservation management of formerly coppiced oak forests
O Košulič, R Michalko, V Hula - PLoS One, 2016 - journals.plos.org
Traditional woodland management created a mosaic of differently aged patches providing
favorable conditions for a variety of arthropods. After abandonment of historical ownership …

Does closure of traditionally managed open woodlands threaten epigeic invertebrates? Effects of coppicing and high deer densities
The demise of traditional woodland management techniques, such as coppicing or
woodland pasture, is causing a gradual closure of formerly sparse lowland woods across …

Non-native plantation forests as alternative habitat for native forest beetles in a heavily modified landscape
The once extensive native forests of New Zealand's central North Island are heavily
fragmented, and the scattered remnants are now surrounded by a matrix of exotic pastoral …

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-
