Responses of litter arthropods to major natural or artificial ecological disturbances in mountain ash forest [Eucalyptus regnans]
1991
Neumann, F.G. (Victorian Dept. of Conservation and Environment, Kew (Australia). Lands and Forests Div.)
Pitfall trapping was used to study the effects on epigeal arthropods of wildfire plus salvage logging, and of clear-felling plus slash burning. The abrupt replacement of complex regrowth forest by even-aged regeneration caused appreciable instability; an immediate decline in arthropod species diversity accompanied short-term boosts in the activity of some major taxa (such as a seed-harvesting ant). However, all but 3 rarely-trapped taxa had returned within 5 years.
