摘要

Veteran oak and beech trees within Windsor Forest have been released from competing plantation and secondary growth - this type of work is often referred to as haloing. This paper reports a preliminary attempt to monitor the success of this managementwork in terms of the survival of 40 of the trees treated in 2003-4 and their responses in terms of reiterative and epicormic growth in response to increased light levels. The biodiversity values of the trees have also been examined. In general, the haloing work has been very successful, especially where the halo size was larger and where groups of trees were involved rather than single trees. Veteran oak benefited most from this work but there have also been clear benefits for some of the veteran beech. The biodiversity importance of these trees is well illustrated by the discovery of fragments of the internationally rare and legally protected violet click beetle, Limoniscus violaceus, in one of the released trees. Follow-up additional release work isnow a priority if the benefits from the first phase of haloing are not now to be lost - the larger the area cleared of competing growth in the first phase of release the greater the benefit observed and the less follow-up work is needed. A tree monitoring form has been designed in order to aid documentation and analysis of the results of such conservation work. This should be adopted and further developed for use on other sites as so much of this type of conservation work is not adequately documented (whether for tree conservation or biodiversity); information is being lost and learnt lessons are not being shared.
