Abstract

This research aims at developping a taxonomic valuation of scolytids and their natural enemies living in beech and oaks forests, to assess the diversity of these communities regarding to forest management practices, to investigate their roles in these ecosystems, to simulate the impact of various management practices on coarse woody debris accumulation, and to give the foresters management tools integrating the "saproxylic factor".
