Tomteby, Naturreservat

  • Nature reserve
of 5 stars

Actions

Description

Tomteby's nature is typical of the Mittland Forest - a mosaic of lush broadleaf forests, pine and birch forests and damp marshes. The varied nature paves the way for a rich plant and animal life. Unusual fungi, lichens and plants that don't thrive in modern forests find a haven here.

Forest with variety

The reserve's lush deciduous forests are home to oak, ash, lime, elm and maple. Hazel is common throughout the reserve, and birch and pine also grow to the east. There is a great variety of tree species and ages, and there are plenty of fallen tree trunks, stumps and dry trees. These environments, which have not been cultivated on any large scale, are very valuable habitats for a wide range of plants and animals.

Inhabitants of the forest

The reserve is home to several unusual fungi and herbs. Toothwort, water lily, spring pea and yellow dock are characteristic species in the rich moss of the deciduous forest. Scots pennywort, lesser celandine and common knotweed are examples of less common vascular plants in the area. In terms of fungi, the hazel-rich forests of the Mittland Forest are among the most species-rich in Europe. Some of the reserve's rarities are the giant comb mushroom, the olive scale mushroom and the candelabra mushroom.
