From: Estimating Ixodes ricinus densities on the landscape scale
Ixodes ricinus nymphal densities for different land cover classes. Mean nymphal ticks per 100 m2 collected at sites classified as coniferous forest (C), agricultural area (A), mixed forest (M) and broad-leafed forest (B). While in 2013 nymphal densities of all land cover classes are significant different from those of the default class A (left), in 2014 only nymphal densities of C differs significantly from those of A (right). Lower nymphal densities in 2014 compared to 2013 are mainly related to lower densities in mixed (M) and broad-leafed forests (B).
