Quantify insect biomass within oak forests to understand the dynamics of ecological health and the food web.
- Methods
- Deploy standardised insect traps to collect and measure insect biomass periodically across selected sites.
- Analysis
- Analyze collected samples to assess biomass and its seasonal variations, linking these to habitat conditions.
