Does the Mean Individual Biomass (MIB) of carabids as a bioindicator of forest succession follow a logistic function? – Examples from Western German beech and Polish Scots pine forests
Successional processes are a common element of commercial forest monocultures. Here, after harvesting and replanting the trees, large parts of the forest ecosystem start from early successional stages at the same time. O...
