Salvage logging, edge effects and carabid beetles: connections to conservation and sustainable forest management
Download2006
Cobb, T.P., Brigham, R.M., Philips, I.D., Spence, J.R.
We used pitfall traps to study the effects of fire and salvage logging on distribution of carabid beetles over a forest disturbance gradient ranging from salvaged (naturally burned and subsequently harvested) to unsalvaged (naturally burned and left standing). Significantly more carabids were...
