Une surface terrière préétablie sera abattue afin d’y récolter des bûches de 50 cm qui seront ensuite mises en élevage afin de comparer l’abondance et la diversité des espèces saproxyliques dans ces deux types de peuplements.
Would you say the logs are "put into breeding" ? [in order to compare the abundance and diversity of saproxylic (beetle) species in these two types of stands].
Many thanks,
Karen
