What Is The Least Populated Animal In Denmark

The old moor, natural wood and forestry

Almindingen is a natural forest area and has been more than or less permanently forested since sometime after the terminal water ice age. However, when the forest supervisor Hans Rømer started replanting Almindingen in the early 1800's, the forest had shrunk to simply about 165 hectares in the area effectually Christianshøj. It featured oak, probably durmast oak, as well as hornbeam which, despite its name, belongs to the hazel family.

The rest of the "woods" consisted of heather and juniper, what was known as moor. The moor was the event of hundreds of years of felling of trees for wood and timber, and of the fact that the peasants used the area to put the livestock out on grass for the summer. Enebærskoven is a office of the old moor, which has been preserved.

The replanting was washed according to the High german model. The method was chosen "systematic forestry" and the idea was to divide the forest into smaller areas of trees of the same age and the same species. This made forestry more than rational, as unabridged areas could exist felled at in one case from i cease, instead of using the onetime-fashioned way where the forestry owner would approximate when to cutting downwardly individual copse in the confusion of old, young and in-between trees of different species, of which a natural forest consists.

The systematic forest has been the ideal in Almindingen and in Denmark'southward forestry industry, generally, upwards to the turn of the millennium, when the focus in the state-owned forests began to shift from commercial timber production to more natural forestry.

In addition to Enebærskoven and the area effectually Christianshøj, which are remnants of moor and the original nature forest, respectively, the oldest parts of the forest originate from the time of Hans Rømer. These include, amongst others, the durmast oaks on Ekkodalsklippen and the beech woods at Koldekilde.

As well oak and beech, Rømer and his successors also planted birch, ash, hazel and diverse conifers. Throughout the 20th century, the conifer has been the virtually widely used wood tree, and, for this reason, Almindingen comprises large areas of common bandbox. However, common bandbox is non native to the Danish nature and is virtually without value as a habitat for insects, birds and fungi. The oak, on the other hand, has more than 1,000 species fastened to it.

As the mutual spruce is cut downward, the felled areas will be largely left to self-seed and natural forestry, and the individual marking of trees for harvesting will be reintroduced. Over time, this will create a much more natural and arable wood.
