Primeval Beech Forests, 2013 The future of European beech forests

Fauna of a German Strict Forest Reserve and its Adjacent Managed Site

Blick, Theo; Dorow, Wolfgang H. O.

Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung, Germany

The fauna of the Strict Forest Reserve (31.3 ha) and its adjacent managed site (36.9 ha) ”Goldbachs- und Ziebachsrück“ (Hesse, Germany) was inventoried over a period of two years. The study area is situated in the mountainous part of northern Hesse, Germany (300–365 m a.s.l., coordinates 9°

53’ E, 50° 56’ N). Mean temperature 8°C, mean annual precipitation 748 mm. The dominant forest type is submontane beech forest (mean age of trees 142 years) with sessile oak, spruce, larch, pine and hornbeam. The different taxa were asessed with diverse methods like pitfall traps; different types of eclectors on tree trunks, stumps, dead branches; blue, white and yellow pans; window traps; hand sampling, viewing, light traps for moths, population density mapping for birds). Annelida, Isopoda, Araneae, Opiliones, Pseudoscorpiones, Plecoptera, Saltatoria, Psocoptera, Neuropteroidea, Heteroptera, Coleoptera, Symphyta, Aculeata, Trichoptera, Macrolepidoptera, Mecoptera, Siphonaptera and Aves, in total representing 28% of the German fauna, were analysed completely to species level.

More than one million individuals of animals were trapped. In total 1595 species were identified, which by extrapolation indicate that more than 5000 species occur in the area. 24 species were new to Hesse, 128 species are included in the Red Data Books. Clear differences in numbers of species and/

or individuals between the total reserve and the reference area as well as between the single study sites were observed. These results point to the necessity for species inventories to study a broad spectrum of animal groups and conducting a thorough analysis of their ecological requirements at species level.

Only this approach guarantees a representative evaluation of alpha and beta diversity. Research was conducted in cooperation with and financially supported by “Landesbetrieb Hessen-Forst”.
