Relevés repeated at regular intervals on 160 permanent plots,
some of them established as far back as 1917, produced time
series that allow us to study what happened exactly to the vegetation after the cattle was
banned from the pastures in the National Park area.
As these pastures were gradually adapting to conditions without grazing, red deer returned
and quickly increased in numbers. They had practically been absent
from the area when the park was founded but now they have taken the place
of the cattle and the park area is grazed again. Thus the
feeding habits of wild animals must also be considered when the development
of the pastures and forests and the reforestation process are analyzed.
