Beskrivelse

"The most beautiful groves ever seen." This is how Linnaeus described what he saw when he rode through Vickleby in 1741. Since then, a large part of the deciduous forest that then lined the entire west coast of Öland has been cultivated. Only fragments remain, like this one in Vickleby deciduous forest. This green oasis attracts many visitors, especially in spring when the fields are in full bloom.

The greenery of Lunden

The nature reserve is characterized by a diversity of deciduous trees and large hazel bushes. Here you can see most of our deciduous trees. Oak is the most common, but elm, ash, lime and maple also grow here. Many of the trees are large. And they have high crowns, because in the grove there is great competition for light. There is a constant struggle to reach the sunlight above the dense canopy.

Spring mirage

In spring, the nature reserve shows its best side. The ground is sprinkled with white, blue and yellow cowslips, along with the occasional purple coneflower and spring pea. The experience is enhanced by a host of small birds that have busy times this time of year. They join in a noisy chorus that inspires spring feelings in everyone who steps under the budding foliage

Lives long underground

The blue onion spider mite and the yellow-browed fly agaric are unusual fungi that can appear in the calcareous soil. They have an intimate relationship with the grove's deciduous trees, called mycorrhiza. Most of the fungi are found underground in the form of thin threads - mycelium - which are connected to the roots of the trees. The mycelium supplies the roots with nutrients and in exchange the fungus receives carbohydrates. The fruiting body that the fungus shoots above ground, the part we see, is short-lived. But underground, the mycelium can live on for decades. Provided the trees remain standing!
