Abstract

Ground dwelling spider communities were investigated in Sitka spruce and ash plantations across the forest cycle. The impact of tree age and species on spider community structure and diversity was largely due to the contrasting nature and structure of ground vegetation and litter. Recommendations for enhancing biodiversity in forestry are suggested.
