Population dynamics of spruce bark beetle in a nature reserve in relationto stand edges conditions
Keywords:
nature reserve, pheromone trap, population dynamics, spruce bark beetleAbstract
Over the period 2006-2009 spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus [L.]) population was monitored after two windstorm events in a nature reserve in Slovak Ore Mountains. The monitoring was carried out with pheromone traps in three different forest edges: 1) edge of wind-felled trees area, 2) disturbed stand edge and 3) undisturbed stand edge. The one-way ANOVA confirmed statistically significant differences among stand edges in each year and a post-hoc test was applied. In first two years after the primary disturbance the most attractive for spruce bark beetle was the edge of wind-felled trees area. After two years from the primary disturbance the most attractive became the disturbed stand edge. The undisturbed stand edge showed a similar attractivity for spruce bark beetles almost over the whole monitoring period.
