Description

Parts of the Skallflohålen nature reserve are known as limestone coniferous forest. It is so called because it grows on calcareous soil. Spruce dominates and there are trees here that are between 120 and 150 years old. There is also some old pine (especially in the north) and occasional birch, willow and aspen.

Limestone old-growth forests often have even more diversity and variety than other old-growth forests. The soil beneath the trees is home to many species favoring lime. Wood anemone, witch hazel, bracken fern, wild violet, cranesbill, thistle, wood vetch and guckusko are some examples. The trees are old and many bear traces of forest fire in their bark.

The forest has burned, and even though it was a long time ago, there are still
