| : | The mortality of young larch trees due to infestation by Ips cembrae was recorded in two regions of southern Poland: in the Sudeten mountains at altitudes between 700 and 1100 m a.s.l. and in the Silesia (-200 m a.s.l.), in the areas reforested 15-20 years ago. The main cause of the dramatic increase of the bark beetle population level was the abundance of breeding material due to wind/snow damage and thinning with no tree removal. Facing the gaps in knowledge on biology and control, additional research is needed to propose effective forest protection strategies. |
