Root−feeding insects are an increasingly studied group of herbivores, whose impact on plant productivity and are some of the most damaging forest pests in Europe. Due to the mass feeding on the roots of seedlings and older trees in young plantation and stands, Melolonthinae larvae are classified as pests, which are the most dangerous on the land dedicated to afforestation. The research was located in the Wyszków Forest District (52°43‵15‵‵N; 21°39‵03‵‵E) on the mixed coniferous and mixed deciduous forest habitats. This study evaluated sawdust traps as the method for assessing abundance of Melolonthinae larvae in Scots pine plantations established artificially from open nursery, container production, and from natural regeneration. In spring 2015 i) ‘small sawdust pits’ in rows between seedlings, and ii) pits without soil in adjacent inter−rows as control were prepared. In spring and autumn 2016, and in spring 2017 sawdust and soil from both variants of pits were sieved and Melolonthinae larvae were counted and compared. The obtained results were analyzed in two ways. The first analysis compared the occurrence of grubs in small pits with or without sawdust, while the other one analysed influence of the time of making small pits, independently for the variant with or without sawdust. The final stage was to compare the number of Melolonthinae larvae in small pits between the origin of the seedlings. We found a greater number of grubs in spring assessment than in autumn. Both kinds of small pits showed higher number of Melolonthinae larvae when compared to traditional method of ‘great pits’. The number of Melolonthinae larvae was significantly higher on the plots with container seedlings than the others. The conceptual assumptions of this alternative and environmentally safe method of ‘sawdust traps’ seems to be optimistic.
Summer truffle (Tuber aestivum), also known as Burgundy truffle, is getting interest in Poland in terms of cultivation as a promising incentive for rural areas. Yet the occurrence of the fungus in wider scale in our country has been confirmed in the last decade. Ecological factors that determine the occurrence of T. aestivum are rather well known in the Mediterranean region, whereas such knowledge is limited in northern Europe. The aim of this work was to find the correlations between essential nutrients in surface horizons of soils typical of truffle occurrence. The study area is situated in the Nida Basin in southern Poland. Principal component analysis (PCA) showed that active carbonate content is the variable that accounts for the greatest percentage of occupancy in the T. aestivum habitat. In this paper we propose that active carbonate is a major factor in the fruiting of summer truffle. The obtained results could have applications in natural harvesting and truffle culture.
Fungi belonging to the genus Tuber establish ectomycorrhizal symbioses with shrubs, trees and some herbaceous plants. Some Tuber species, for example, T. melanosporum, T. magnatum, T. aestivum are economically important because they produce edible fruiting bodies with a distinctive taste and flavor. Our concept of truffle ecophysiology is dominated by the symbiosis with deciduous hosts, such as: Quercus spp., Fagus sylvatica, Castanea sativa, Corylus spp., Carpinus betulus, Ostrya carpinifolia, Betula verrucosa, and Tilia spp., whereas the real range of hosts in nature seems to be much wider. Moreover, interactions between Tuber mycelium and plant community could be more complex than just forming the ectomycorrhizal symbiosis. Here we show our inventory of plants and soils at six truffle’ sites in the southern part of Poland (Nida Basin and Przedbórz Upland). The aim of this study was to widen our understanding of ecological factors affecting Tuber spp., in the context of pioneering stage of research on truffles in Poland. We hope our findings will have a practical application and will help to choose suitable soils for truffle orchards.
