Impact of partial cuts on phloeophagous and xylophagous beetles activity in boreal forests
Short-term responses of phloeophagous and xylophagous beetles (Scolytinae and Cerambycidae) following different partial cut treatments (0, 25 and 40% of basal area cut) were evaluated in a balsam fir – white birch boreal forest in Quebec, Canada, with four replicates of each treatment (total of 12 stands). Abundance and diversity of targeted beetle groups along with their establishment (attack rates) in partially cut stands were assessed with passive flight-interception traps and debarking of exposed, freshly cut boles (balsam fir, white spruce and white birch) the summer following treatments.
