Characteristics
Localities Boubín and Milešice represent particularly Acidic and Fresh nutrient medium spruce-beech forests. These forest stand types are very important in the scope of both area and wood-producting stands of the Czech Republic. Especially the Boubín (Kubani) natural forest represents a very valuable and felling aloof forest stand. It was just founded as a forest research reserve. Owing to the verderer Josef John, who processed the first detailed dendrometry in the Boubín natural forest in 1847, we have got unique data sets for the time series of over 160 years.
