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 …

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 …

Executive summary How can we effectively maintain and enhance forest biodiversity in
Europe? hampered efforts to build a standardised, EU-level overview of how 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 …

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 …

Forest canopies maintain a high proportion of arthropod diversity. The drivers that structure
these communities, however, are poorly understood. Therefore, integrative research …

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 …

Background Functional diversity is vital for forest ecosystem resilience in times of climate-
induced forest diebacks. Admixing drought resistant non-native Douglas fir, as a partial …

Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) is frequently planted as a monoculture, but it is also grown in
mixed plantations with other native trees such as pedunculate oak (Quercus robur). Both …

The article analyses the patterns in the horizontal structure of litter invertebrate communities
in windbreak plantations in the Steppe zone of the Ukraine. The number of invertebrate …
