Taxonomic composition of insects (Collembola, Copeoptera:Carabidae, Silphidae, Staphylinidae and Chrysomelidae) from the forest ecosystewms of the Republic of Moldova

  • TITLU în română: Compoziţia taxonomică a insectelor (Collembola, Copeoptera: Carabidae, Silphidae, Staphylinidae şi Chrysomelidae) din ecosistemele forestiere din Republica Moldova
  • Subiect: The biological diversity of living organisms, including a large variety of insects, is a specific feature of our planet, which ensures the optimal functioning, existence and development of the biosphere. Species diversity of insects in the forest ecosystems is limited by climatic and natural factors and allows establishing the degree of ecosystem stability. The higher insects’ biodiversity plays an important role in the ecosystem stability. Unfortunately, the medium degree of forestation in the Republic of Moldova is only 9.6% (7.2 % in northern Moldova, 13.5% in central and 6.7% in southern), so the areas occupied by woods and forest plantations are 325.4 thousand ha only. However, we cannot talk about intact forest territories, even the protected areas suffer certain modifications because of the anthropogenic interventions, which directly affect the natural forests and in the result normal development of the insects. The territory of the Republic of Moldova is situated at the interference of three biogeographic regions: Central-European, Euro-Asiatic and Mediterranean. In the north of the republic the petrophyte forests of Quercus robur are situated, the centre of the republic is occupied by European leafy forests, and in the south, there are fragments of xerophyte silvo-steppe with Quercus pubescens. The geographic position and the variety of natural factors are favourable for great floristic and faunistic diversity of this territory
