The growth rate influences both mechanical and biochemical properties of wood, which may have an impact on dead wood inhabiting (i.e. saproxylic) species. In this study, we tested for the first time whether tree growth rates affect dead-wood associated assemblages in general and the occurrence of red-listed species in particular. We sampled saproxylic beetles (eclector traps) and fungi (DNA metabarcoding of wood samples) in dead trunks of Norway spruce (Picea abies), which had different growth rates within the same hemiboreal forests in Sweden. A high proportion of fungi showed a positive association to increasing tree growth. This resulted in higher fungal richness in fast-grown trees both at the trunk scale and across multiple studied trunks. Such patterns were not observed for saproxylic beetles. However, a set of species (both beetles and fungi) preferred slow-grown wood. Moreover, the total number of red-listed species was highest in slow-grown trunks. We conclude that dead wood from slow-grown trees hosts relatively fewer saproxylic species, but a part of these may be vulnerable to production forestry. It implies that slow-grown trees should be a target in nature conservation. However, where slow-grown trees are absent, for instance in forests managed for a high biomass production, increasing the volumes of dead wood from fast-grown trees may support many species.", "doi": "10.1007/s00442-021-05061-z", "pmid": "34657178", "labels": {"Bioinformatics Support for Computational Resources": "Service"}, "xrefs": [{"db": "pii", "key": "10.1007/s00442-021-05061-z"}, {"db": "pmc", "key": "PMC8585823"}], "notes": [], "created": "2022-11-09T15:46:59.295Z", "modified": "2024-01-16T13:48:38.148Z"}, {"entity": "publication", "iuid": "1fce8f80db364fe7a5ad456d428388b7", "links": {"self": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/publication/1fce8f80db364fe7a5ad456d428388b7.json"}, "display": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/publication/1fce8f80db364fe7a5ad456d428388b7"}}, "title": "Management intensity at field and landscape levels affects the structure of generalist predator communities.", "authors": [{"family": "Rusch", "given": "Adrien", "initials": "A"}, {"family": "Birkhofer", "given": "Klaus", "initials": "K"}, {"family": "Bommarco", "given": "Riccardo", "initials": "R"}, {"family": "Smith", "given": "Henrik G", "initials": "HG"}, {"family": "Ekbom", "given": "Barbara", "initials": "B"}], "type": "journal article", "published": "2014-07-00", "journal": {"volume": "175", "issn": "1432-1939", "issue": "3", "pages": "971-983", "title": "Oecologia", "issn-l": "0029-8549"}, "abstract": "Agricultural intensification is recognised as a major driver of biodiversity loss in human-modified landscapes. Several agro-environmental measures at different spatial scales have been suggested to mitigate the negative impact of intensification on biodiversity and ecosystem services. The effect of these measures on the functional structure of service-providing communities remains, however, largely unexplored. Using two distinct landscape designs, we examined how the management options of organic farming at the field scale and crop diversification at the landscape level affect the taxonomic and functional structure of generalist predator communities and how these effects vary along a landscape complexity gradient. Organic farming as well as landscapes with longer and more diversified crop rotations enhanced the activity-density of spiders and rove beetles, but not the species richness or evenness. Our results indicate that the two management options affected the functional composition of communities, as they primarily enhanced the activity-density of functionally similar species. The two management options increased the functional similarity between spider species in regards to hunting mode and habitat preference. Organic farming enhanced the functional similarity of rove beetles. Management options at field and landscape levels were generally more important predictors of community structure when compared to landscape complexity. Our study highlights the importance of considering the functional composition of generalist predators in order to understand how agro-environmental measures at various scales shape community assemblages and ecosystem functioning in agricultural landscapes.", "doi": "10.1007/s00442-014-2949-z", "pmid": "24810324", "labels": {"National Genomics Infrastructure": null, "NGI Uppsala (Uppsala Genome Center)": null}, "xrefs": [], "notes": [], "created": "2017-05-04T15:02:41.652Z", "modified": "2020-01-21T13:56:01.038Z"}], "created": "2017-05-09T09:12:16.985Z", "modified": "2020-11-27T13:14:02.593Z"}
