Land Use History: Managed deciduous forest for hundreds of years. Cutting period is about 80 years, the forest stand is originated from a coppice.

Earlier Investigations: Long-term monitoring of some environmental variables in the seventies; description of changes in forest structure; tree-; shrub- and herb layer dynamics; determination of biomass and production of trophic levels; analysis of efficiency of energy flow through the food chains; studying the circulation of the elements between the compartments of the ecosystem; animal-plant interactions; causes the recent oak decline; studying the relationship of climatic change and forest decline; structure and role of forest ecotone; mechanism of water transport in trees.
