Floristic changes in the understory vegetation of a managed forest in Denmark over a period of 23 years - Possible drivers of change and implications for nature and biodiversity conservation

摘要

We studied changes in the understory vegetation in two Danish forests (212 permanent plots in a 330 ha area) over a period of 23 years from 1993 to 2016. Changes were analyzed in relation to a shift in forest management towards close-to-nature silviculture, local natural disturbance (caused by storms), nitrogen deposition, and climatic change.
