Arthropod community structure in regenerating Douglas-fir and red alder forests : influences of geography, tree diversity and density

Creator:

Schaerer, Brett L.

Abstract:

The structuring of canopy arthropod communities was reviewed and investigated in relation to tree species diversity and its component factors, interspersion of different species and density of each tree species. Fifteen treatments of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) and red alder (Alnus rubra) (various densities and proportions of each) were randomly assigned...
