Wl. Wilson et Kr. Day, VARIATION IN THE RELATIVE ABUNDANCE OF THE LARGE PINE WEEVIL AMONG SITKA SPRUCE PLANTATION SITES, Forestry, 69(2), 1996, pp. 177-179
Between 1993 and 1994 over 160 forest sites were sampled to obtain ind
ices of pine weevil (Hylobius abietis L.) densities. Overall 48 variab
les were tested for their ability to explain variation in weevil numbe
rs between compartments. The models generated from the sample data ide
ntified 14 variables as significant in influencing weevil densities. I
n this research note the variables are identified, and their relations
hip to forest management discussed.
