The aim of this work was to study the effect of post-harvest forestry residue management practices on the epigeal coleopterans diversity and abundance in a 1-yr old Pinus radiata plantation. Approximately 25-yr old P. radiata plantation was available, which was harvested by clear-cutting at the beginning of 2010 in Constitución, central Chile. Three post harvest residue management treatments were installed in a fully randomized design in blocks: 1) a control, where residues were intact left; 2) residue removed (> 2.5 cm diameter); and3) burned. The coleopterans were sampled in spring and summer, using linear transects with pitfall traps. The abundance and richness, and diversity index of coleopterans were determined. A total of 23 species of 13 families were obtained. Both in the spring and summer, the treatment with residues left registered significantly greater abundance and species richness. In the residue management, the practices of intact leaving residue should be considered as the least impacting on diversity and abundance of epigeal coleopterans and is recommended for creating refugee areas to promote diversity of beetles in this area of study.
El objetivo de este trabajo fue estudiar el efecto de prácticas de manejo de residuos de post-cosecha en plantaciones de un año de Pinus radiata sobre la diversidad y abundancia de coleópteros epigeos. El estudio se realizó en Constitución, Chile central, donde existía una plantación de P. radiata de cerca de 25 años, que se cosechó con el método de tala rasa a comienzos de 2010. Se consideraron tres tratamientos de post-cosecha con un diseño completamente aleatorio en bloques: 1) uno control, con los residuos intactos; 2) con extracción de residuos (> 2,5 cm de diámetro); y 3) con quema. Los coleópteros se muestrearon en primavera y verano mediante transectos lineales con trampas de caída. Se determinó la abundancia y riqueza, y un índice de diversidad de coleópteros epigeos. Se obtuvieron un total de 23 especies de 13 familias. En primavera y verano, el tratamiento con residuos dejados intactos tuvo una abundancia y riqueza de especies significativamente mayor. Cuando se apliquen tratamientos de post-cosecha la práctica de dejar los residuos intactos debería ser considerada como la de menos impacto sobre la diversidad y abundancia de coleópteros epigeos y ser recomendada por crear áreas de refugio para promover la diversidad de coleópteros en esta área de estudio.
