Process for a UNESCO World Natural Heritage "Beech Forests of Europe" following a recommendation by the World Heritage Committee in 2011 for a complete and finite serial transnational nomination of significant primeval and ancient „Beech Forests in Europe“

Primeval Beech Forests of the Carpatiansv(2007) and Ancient Beech Forests of Germany (2011) Ukraine Slowakia Germany

Jasmund Serrahn Grumsin Kellerwald Hainich Serial transnationale WH Site „Primeval Beech Forests of the Carpathians and Ancient Beech Forests of Germany“

The nomination is based on UNESCO WHC criterion ix: „Outstanding examples representing significant ongoing ecological and biological processes in the evolution and development of terrestrial, fresh water, coastal and marine ecosystems and communities of plants and animals.“

The serial nomination comprises outstanding examples of the evolutionary and developmental processes of beech forests since the last glacial period, giving rise to a terrestrial ecosystem that has shaped an entire continent in a globally unique manner. There is no other tree species in the world to play such a dominant and unique role as Fagus sylvatica.

Integrity The nominated forests are the best old growth forest stocks in the heart of beech forest distribution. Their integrity is characterized by - completeness of species composition, natural structure, regeneration cycles, and landscape complexes, - area sizes, which are completely illustrating the typical forms and natural dynamic processes The integrity has been guaranteed by - the legal status with renunciation of all uses, and - the management as strictly protected areas by state administrations

Current Distribution of Fagus sylvatica (Map: Erik Welk, M LU Halle/S., AG Chorologie) (m/mo)-sm/mo-temp.oz1-2

Diversity of beech forests: Geographical classification, beech forests at eutrophic sites 24 geographical types

Eco-geographical Beech Forests Regions (BFR) (m)-sm/mo 1 – Pyrenaic BFR 2 – Appenninian BFR 3 – Illyric-Balcanic BFR (sm/mo)-temp/coll-mo 4 – Subatlantic-Central European BFR 5 – Alpic BFR 6 – Carpathian BFR temp/planar 7 – Atlantic BFR 8 – Baltic BFR

1,56 Mio ha Few and small ancient forests survived The remaining stock

Beech forests in Europe are reduced to a small fraction of their natural area Ancient forests are rare The protection status often insufficent Forest cover is reduced Remaining forests are changed NATURA 2000
