EXECUTIVE SUMMARY - UNESCO World Heritage

Chemical composition of
precipitation – both horizontal and
veritical
every two weeks
Chemicals input into primeval every two weeks
forests in the form of stemflow,
throughfall
Soil water chemistry every 5 years
Stabile soil indicators (soil profile
description and soil classification,
textural analysis, physical
properties, humus and chemical
analysis)
Labile soil indicators (pH, mobile
nutrients and heavy metals, S, T,
V values – CEC, ecological and
genetic humus quality, humus
layer)
Microbial activity of soils, CO2
production in the spring, summer
and autumn
Health status of main primeval
forest constituents
every 5 years
every 5 years
3 times a year
once a year
Biodiversity monitoring with the twice a year
emphasis on species known as
indicators of primeval forests
intactness or bioindicators
Monitoring of organisms bound to every two years
primeval forests
Primeval forest structure and every 5 years
texture monitoring
Soil biota monitoring 5 year intervals
Air: Extreme temperatures (weekly), precipitation (every two weeks), temperatures (daily
temperatures taken from nearest meteorological station and their derivatives), other
meteorological characteristics obtained from hydrometeorological institutes (wind, relative air
humidity, solar radiation etc.)
Water: Soil water regime for the analyses of solute transport in soils, physiologically
available water (weekly using non-destructive tensiometers, Time Domain Reflectometry,
Electrical Resistivity Tomography), maximum water capacity and hydrophysical soil
properties (yearly), chemical composition of precipitation – both horizontal and veritical (pH,
H + , Ca 2+ , Mg 2+, K + , Na + , NH 4+ , NO 3- , (SO4) 2- , Cl - , F - , electric conductivity), chemicals input
into primeval forests in the form of stemflow, throughfall (every two weeks), soil water
chemistry by lysimeters (pH, H + , Ca 2+ , Mg 2+, K + , Na + , NH 4+ , NO 3- , (SO4) 2- , Cl - , F - , electric
conductivity, C, N, S Elemental an analyzer).
Soil: Stabile soil indicators (soil profile description and soil classification, textural analysis,
physical properties, humus and chemical analysis), labile soil indicators (pH, mobile nutrients
and heavy metals, S, T, V values – CEC, ecological and genetic humus quality, humus layer
