Abstract

The Gwangneung Forest is a biosphere reserve known for its high biodiversity and has been managed as a deciduous broad-leaved forest for 550 years. This study aimed to compare the community structure and diversity of ground beetles (Carabidae) between the biosphere reserve (Pocheon) and non-biosphere reserves (Uljin, Yeongju) in both Pinus densiflora and Quercus mongolica forests from 2016 to 2017. A total of 73 ground beetle species belonging to 25 genera of nine subfamilies were collected. n the biosphere reserve, 25 species belonging to 11 genera of six subfamilies were collected in the P. densiflora forest, and 22 species belonging to nine genera of four subfamilies were collected in the Q. mongolica forest. In the non-biosphere reserve, 23 species belonging to 10 genera of five subfamilies were collected in the P. densiflora forest, and 59 species belonging to 21 genera of nine subfamilies were collected in the Q. mongolica forest. In the P. densiflora and Q. mongolica forests of the biosphere reserve, the dominant species were Pterostichus orientalis (77.2% and 78.7%, respectively). In contrast, the dominant species in the non-biosphere reserve were Synuchus sp. 3 (47.9%) and Synuchus sp. 2 (17.6%) in the P. densiflora and Q. mongolica forests, respectively. Species diversity was highest in the Q. mongolica forest of the non-biospheres reserves, which was closest to the road. Furthermore, species diversity in the forest area increased as the distance to the nearest road decreased. These results provide essential data for biodiversity conservation in the biosphere reserve.
