Phyllophages biotopic distribution in sparsely wooded regions plantations

Abstract

The study of the main woody plants entomofauna diversity peculiarities in sparsely wooded regions with arid climate is an urgent scientific direction and the basis for the design of ecologically balanced multifunctional plantations in the arid zone. The presented materials illustrate the peculiarities of the arthropod phyllophages diversity of trees growing in the FSC of Agroecology RAS dendrological collections. The species and quantitative abundance of individual ecological and trophic groups of fauna, types of damage to plants’ different parts of the Ulmaceae, Fabaceae, Rosaceae families and a number of others were revealed. The structure of the dendrophages community was assessed. The insects’ orders distribution features according to the types of plantations were analyzed.
