"European woodland used to be managed by livestock grazing, coppicing and fire that kept the forests open and favourable for fauna associated with open woodland habitats. However, these practices have been discontinued during the last two centuries in most of Europe. It has lead to increased canopy closure, loss of precious habitats and subsequent decrease in biodiversity. This is also the case of oak woodlands that cover most of Podyji (Thayatal) National Park, Czech Republic. Numerous endangered open woodland specialists, including such emblematic species as the aesculapian snake (Zamenis longissimus), the clouded apollo (Parnassius mnemosyne), Purpuricenus kaehleri longhorn beetle or the great capricorn beetle (Cerambyx cerdo) are restricted to forest edges or to remnants of the former forest steppes. As a part of a restoration management, small clearings with retention trees (each 40x40 m) were created. Using multi-taxa survey approach, we observe the recolonisation dynamics. We search for origin of species associated with clearings in matrix of other, locally available habitats. Preliminary results show that creating gaps in forest canopy is favourable for forest biodiversity. In comparison to closed canopy forest, the treatment plots generally harbour richer assemblages of most taxa investigated (e.g. plants, butterflies, saproxylic beetles and reptiles). However, hands off approach prevails in management of protected oak woodlands putting emphasis on maintaining natural processes rather than conservation of biodiversity. Our results based on response of the numerous taxa demonstrate that it is crucial to adopt active approaches in conservation management of protected forests in order to avoid further loss of biodiversity." .
