Area natural monument of the juniper stand, Section 4184 Jellen Forest District
Coordinates: 53 ° 37 ′ 48 ″ N , 12 ° 10 ′ 10 ″ E
The area natural monument of the juniper population, Dept. 4184 Jellen Forest District, is a 2.83 hectare patchy juniper - pine forest in the Schwinzer Heide in the center of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The area is located about 1.5 kilometers northeast of Jellen on the old country road to Krakow and west of the Jellen nature reserve in the Nossentiner / Schwinzer Heide nature reserve . The protection of the juniper took place in 1979.
The area is in fair to good condition. The snow load in the winter of 2009/2010 damaged the juniper populations.
Usage history
Jellen has been documented as a place since 1369, was finally transferred to the Dobbertin Monastery in 1455, was destroyed during the Thirty Years War in 1633 and was completely desolate in 1640 . Due to the natural spread of pine trees on the heathland , the arable land was reduced. After 1700, an independent farm with an administrator was set up as a dairy farm , also known as a sheep farm.
The 190 to 200-year-old pines now belong to the first forest generation of pines in the Schwinzer Heide. Due to the short distance between the forest and the former dairy and forest workers' village of Jellen, the forest was also used for pasture with cattle. Even after the ban on forest pasture around 1900, forest and forest workers were allowed to continue to use the forest parts assigned to them as forest pasture.
Flora and fauna
The common juniper ( Juniperus communis ), which is well protected against browsing by domestic animals, was able to develop under the old pine trees . In addition to the old pines ( Pinus sylvatica ), younger pines were cared for in the protected area, which are to replace the old pines in the medium term. The black woodpecker , the stock dove (Columba oenas), the Pipistrelle (Pipistrellus nathussii) and the Noctule (Nyctalus noctula) use the cave wealth of ancient pines for nesting or as a base for raising the young.
In the last few decades care was taken to ensure that despite the progressive soil development (humus enrichment), the tree species pine and juniper retain their dominance in the thinned stand. Damage to peeling and kicking caused by deer entering the juniper are regularly recorded.
