Abstract

Abstract Coniferous forests in Europe have a considerable number of pests that attack trees of all ages from youngest up to oldest ones. One of them is the large pine weevil Hylobius abietis. This species is widespread in Europe and occurs from warm southern areas (Spain) up to northern countries (Sweden, Finland). Larvae of this species do not cause damage, they help in the decomposition process of stumps and roots. Adults are harmful as they consume bark of young coniferous seedlings, above all of spruce and pine. One adult can consume on average 75 mm2 of bark per day. Individuals can live up to 4 years, and during their lives they can damage and kill several tens of coniferous seedlings. Traditional chemical protection of seedlings against this pest is and will gradually be more and more restricted or forbidden. In this review, we describe this method as well as all other alternative methods including biological protection. We estimate that H. abietis causes annual damages in Europe of almost 120 million € and damages several tens of thousands of hectares of young forest stands.

欧洲针叶林中大型松象甲（Hylobius abietis）的生态、管理和破坏（鞘翅目：弯甲科）

摘要欧洲的针叶林中有相当数量的害虫，从最年轻到最年长的各个年龄段的树木都会受到攻击。其中一种是大型松象甲Hylobius abietis。该物种广泛分布于欧洲，从温暖的南部地区（西班牙）到北部国家（瑞典、芬兰）都有分布。该物种的幼虫不会造成破坏，它们有助于树桩和根系的分解过程。成虫是有害的，因为它们消耗年轻针叶树幼苗的树皮，尤其是云杉和松树。一个成年人平均每天可以吃掉75平方毫米的树皮。个体的寿命可达4年，在其一生中，它们可以破坏并杀死数十棵针叶树幼苗。传统的化学保护幼苗免受这种害虫的侵害现在和将来都会越来越受到限制或禁止。在这篇综述中，我们描述了这种方法以及包括生物保护在内的所有其他替代方法。我们估计，H.abietis每年在欧洲造成近1.2亿欧元的损失，并破坏数万公顷的幼林。
