Intensive forest management has been applied in most Fennoscandian forests for a period
of almost one felling rotation. This paradigm has produced even-aged and even-structured …

The profound impacts of fire on natural ecosystems have moulded many aspects of life on
Earth, but many of these effects remain poorly understood, other than in the most general …

Prescribed burning and retention forestry are used to bring the biological legacies of forest
harvesting closer to those of natural disturbances. Although widely used, the effects of these …

Fire suppression and reduced volumes of dead wood have led to a major decline in
pyrophilous and saproxylic insects in Fennoscandian boreal forests. As a consequence …

Simple Summary How far in space and time should conservation burns be conducted to
provide most benefit to beetles favoured by forest fires? We systematically sampled forest …

Intensive management of boreal forests has replaced natural disturbances, leading to losses
of residual deadwood and saproxylic biodiversity. Declining population sizes have been …

The availability of dead wood and ability to colonise these ephemeral structures are crucial
for sustaining vital populations of saproxylic insects. These insects locate suitable resources …

Understanding fire effects on multitrophic levels is critical to the context of changes in fire
regime and climate. Insects located at higher trophic levels, like parasitoids, are more …

Saproxyly evolved several times independently within the insect order Hemiptera.
Saproxylic Hemiptera are ancient groups of insects with approx. 5000 species described …

Fire plays a prominent role in many biomes, but the natural fire regime has been influenced
by silvicultural management, changes in land use, climate changes, and fire suppression …
