The legacy of primeval forests – a dendroecological reconstruction of selected forest stands across the Šumava National Park

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Despite prehistoric colonization, forests with limited evidence of human activities have been preserved throughout the centuries in the Bohemian Forest, thus they are promising from the point of view of well-preserved primeval legacy. Hence, we present a dendrochronological analysis of 5 spruce and mixed forest stands with the highest protection status within the Sumava National Park (Czech Republic), supplemented by archival records to uncover their historical development and naturalness. Based on 210 increment cores from 6 research plots of 0.2 ha, an age structure analysis and chronology of historical disturbance events were performed for each stand. Most trees regenerated after windstorms in the 1870s, but a significant proportion of the forest structure in many stands was established much earlier. About 13% and 2% of trees reached more than 200 and 300 years, respectively. Site-specific disturbance histories showed substantial spatial and temporal variability among the stands, probably as a result of anthropogenic disturbances, identified using archival materials. Although all examined stands were affected by humans in the past through grazing, logging or air pollution, the forest continuity was not entirely interrupted, preserving in the form of ancient trees and as well as high deadwood volume.
