Ancient Forests and Old Trees: a Treasure of Nature, Life, and Culture
Old-growth forests are unique ecosystems, characterized by high structural and functional heterogeneity, with features that develop over decades and centuries. They are therefore of exceptional and irreplaceable importance, being forests where human disturbance is absent or negligible, and which host a truly unique flora and fauna. Moreover, they represent valuable carbon reservoirs and are essential for studying the impacts of climate change in areas where human influence is minimal
