“…Untouched primeval beech forests rarely exist in Central Europe today and are mainly restricted to the Carpathian Mountains (Korpel', 1996). Their multi-aged stand structure largely differs from EA managed beech forests, with many microhabitats and high amounts of deadwood of differing quality favouring several taxonomic groups (Dymytrova, Nadyeina, Hobi, & Scheidegger, 2014;Lachat & Müller, 2018). The increasing awareness of the importance of biodiversity and structural heterogeneity for ecosystem functions and services (e.g.…”

“…Since both ecological continuity and dead wood abundance are considered crucial factors for biodiversity protection in forests (Grove 2002;Lassauce et al 2011;Mikusińska et al 2013;Kunttu et al 2015), newly planted forests are expected to exhibit lower values for various forest species than for old-growth forests remnants. Although this hypothesis has been proven for various taxonomic groups (Bremer and Farley 2010;Paillet et al 2010;Brumelis et al 2011;Pawson et al 2013;Bradshaw et al 2015;Lachat and Müller 2018), there is a strong belief that secondary forests may help in biodiversity restoration.…”

“…Also the Shannon Wiener diversity index for the examined community was the highest (Table 4 ). The Białowieża Primeval Forest is unique in Europe, and thus it deserves special legal protection, as it is one of the very last places in Europe where researchers can observe natural processes with no or very little human-caused disturbance (Kujawa et al 2016 ; Lachat and Müller 2018 ). Nowadays, only 17% of about 62,000 ha of the Polish part of the Białowieża Primeval Forest is legally protected as a national park, about 19% is regarded as nature reserve, and the other parts of this unique forest complex are economic forests (Pracownia na rzecz Wszystkich Istot 2019 ; WWF.pl 2019 ).…”
