Pruikenmakers is een onderdeel van het bosreservaat Meerdaalwoud, gelegen in het gelijknamige bos in het zuidoosten van de provincie Vlaams-Brabant, in de zogenaamde Belgian Loess Belt. Pruikenmakers heeft een oppervlakte van 48.6 ha en werd in 1995 aangewezen als bosreservaat. Het kent sinds 2000 een statuut van integraal bosreservaat. Sinds dat tijdstip is een nulbeheer van kracht, maar vóór 1995 kende het bos een regulier bosbouwkundig beheer. Het terreinwerk van het onderzoeksprogramma werd hoofdzakelijk uitgevoerd in het najaar van 2005 en het voorjaar van 2006. De kartering van bijzondere elementen en de facieskartering werden uitgevoerd in 2007. De proefopzet volgde de standaard methodiek met één kernvlakte en 66 steekproefcirkels, inclusief twee in de kernvlakte. Pruikenmakers situeert zich aan de zuidrand van Meerdaalwoud. De bodemkundige variatie is groot: het merendeel van het bosreservaat ligt op leemgronden, maar centraal bevindt zich ook een zandige kop. Van zuidwest n...

The forest cover of the western European lowland plain has been very low for centuries. Remaining forests were intensively managed, and old-growth elements like veteran trees and coarse woody debris became virtually absent. Only over the last decades have these old-growth elements progressively redeveloped in parks, lanes and forests, and have now reached their highest level over the last 500â1000 years. Biodiversity associated with these old-growth elements makes up an important part of overall forest biodiversity. The ability of species to recolonise the newly available habitat is strongly determined by limitations in their dispersal and establishment. We analyse the current status and development of old-growth elements in Flanders (northern Belgium) and the process of recolonisation by means of specific cases, focussing on saproxylic fungi and saproxylic beetles. Our results show that âhotspotsâ of secondary old growth, even isolated small patches, may have more potential f...
