Phytogeographical division of Slovenia 3. Distribution of important forest sites in Slovenia 4. Untouched forest sites and stands, except for special research goals 5. Nature reserve Nature reserves are protected areas created to protect ecosystems, communities or biological elements which because of their rarity, fragility, importance or singularity have special value. In Nature Reserves, exploitation of natural resources is limited, except in cases of compatibility with conservation values.
Forest is the major biotope.
Basic research focused on single threatened species. Fragmentation, edge processes, dispersion metapopulation dynamics. Indicators of biodiversity in the forest landscape Indicators of biodiversity of use for environmental monitoring and nature conservation planning. These measures to be supplemented by restrictions on the use of certain additional forest areas for the conservation of wide-ranging vertebrate species. They often contain fragile ecosystems or life forms, areas of important biological or geological diversity, or areas of particular importance to the conservation of genetic resources.
