Exposure elevation and forest structure predict the abundance of saproxylic beetles’ communities in mountain managed beech forests

In the managed beech forests of Central Italy (Molise), the diversity of saproxylic species is potentially under threat by intensive management. To evaluate the impact of forestry on the biodiversity of these ecosystems, we analyzed the relationship between abundance of saproxylic beetles and (i) fo...
