Dominant Tree Species

The forest stands are primarily composed of European beech (Fagus sylvatica), pedunculate and sessile oak (Quercus robur / Quercus petraea) and hornbeam (Carpinus betulus). These species form the structural backbone of Central European deciduous forests and are particularly well adapted to regional climate conditions. Their long lifespans and dense canopy structures allow forests to accumulate significant biomass and carbon over time.

Supporting Species and Regeneration

Additional species such as maple (Acer spp.), small-leaved lime (Tilia cordata) and ash (Fraxinus excelsior) contribute to the diversity of the forest ecosystem. Natural regeneration layers include rowan and birch, supporting continuous forest renewal and habitat diversity. Conifers occur only in very small shares (below 5%) as remnants of earlier forestry practices.
