Description
Malbäckskölen is located in Värmland's Finnmark region. It is likely that the area was once used for forest grazing, mire mowing and transportation to the settlements.
The forest on the moraine ridges in the bog is characterized by fire and contains plenty of old pines and deciduous trees, while the forest on the mountain slope is largely spring-affected meadow spruce forest with the presence of tall herbs such as mountain laurel and wreathwort.
The reserve was established to preserve and manage a valuable forest-marsh mosaic, with wooded moraine ridges, moisture-rich spruce forests and wetlands.
Animals and plants
Within the reserve, 12 red-listed species have been noted so far, all linked to old trees or dead wood. Examples include the spruce bark beetle and the spruce bark beetle, which are associated with dead spruce wood, and the violet-grey thorn lichen, which grows mainly on old, late-growing spruce and birch trees.
