Faunistic surveys were carried out in study plots composed of beech, pine, and spruce forests, including unburnt control stands and moderately to severely burnt sites, between April 2023 and September 2025. Standardised sampling methods were used to sample molluscs (Mollusca), epigeic spiders (Araneae), orthopterans (Orthoptera), aculeate Hymenoptera, beetles (Coleoptera), robber flies (Asilidae), and butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera). In total, around 1,900 invertebrate species were recorded. Pyrophilous and early-successional species rapidly colonised burnt sites, particularly those dependent on open habitats, exposed mineral soil, and early successional vegetation. Burnt forests also provided a large amount of standing and fallen dead wood, often partially charred, which created favourable conditions for many invertebrates. In contrast, species associated with closed-canopy and humid forest conditions were recorded mainly in unburnt control plots or sporadically in burnt stands.Published online: 22. 9. 2026
