Better forest management boosts beetle diversity in spruce plantations hit by bark beetles

As climate change and pests put increasing pressure on forests, the right forest management practices are emerging as key to preserving biodiversity. A recent study published in Forest Ecosystems explores how different management strategies affect beetle diversity in spruce plantations severely impacted by bark beetle outbreaks. As climate change and pests put increasing pressure on forests, the right forest management practices are emerging as key to preserving biodiversity.
