摘要:In this paper, aspects of beech forest diversity relevant to the current debate about
beech forest conservation are elaborated and characteristics of a near to nature
management are derived. Conceptually it is assumed that the main characteristic of
near to nature biotic communities is a typical, near complete assemblage of species
and structural elements.
The distribution of beech forests, marked by considerable natural spatial variation,
primarily is concentrated in the hilly and mountainous regions of western
Germany. In the lowlands beech forests are highly fragmented. Thus, forest
conversion efforts towards near to nature beech forests should be concentrated in
the lowlands. In these remnant forests in the lowlands, the introduction of tree
species atypical for these forest types should not be supported actively.
