In a primeval forest, fallen and decaying trees play a crucial role in the ecosystem. They contribute to soil formation, provide habitat for various organisms, and serve as a source of nutrients for the forest. The presence of dead wood, including fallen logs and snags, is an essential component of a primeval forest, constituting a significant portion of the total wood volume. This dead wood supports a diverse community of saproxylic fungi, insects, and specialized bird species. Additionally, fallen trees and decaying wood contribute to the dynamic nature of the forest, creating microhabitats and supporting natural regeneration of dominant tree species within the canopy gaps or on the decaying logs.\n\nIn summary, fallen and decaying trees in a primeval forest are integral to the ecosystem, supporting biodiversity, soil formation, and natural regeneration of the forest. They represent a natural and essential component of these ancient and dynamic ecosystems.
