Erasing a European biodiversity hot-spot: Open woodlands, veterantrees and mature forests succumb to forestry intensification,succession, and logging in a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve
Original language description
Open woodlands are among the biologically richest habitats of the temperate zone. Although open wood-lands were much more common in the past and covered large areas of Europe, their original cover andmagnitude of their loss remain mostly unknown. Here, we quantify the loss of open woodlands and assessthe potential for their restoration in an internationally protected biodiversity hot-spot, floodplain wood-lands of lower Thaya and March rivers of Dolní Morava UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in Czech Republic.Aerial photographs from years 1938 and 2009 were used to analyse changes in forest canopy closureacross an area of 146 km2and separately for 270 ha of nature reserves found in the area. Forestry mapsand aerial photographs were used to analyse changes in forest age structure. Between 1938 and 2009,expansion of closed-canopy forest reduced open woodlands cover from 41% to 5.7% of total wooded area,or 68.5% to 14.1% in the state reserves respectively. Logging has led to a decrease in mature f
