Study on how the age of oak forests influences biodiversity, particularly focusing on species richness and composition across six key groups: insects, arachnids, springtails, lichens, bryophytes, and vascular plants. Despite high diversity across all forest ages, significant changes in species composition were noted only in some groups, underscoring the complex relationship between forest maturity and ecological diversity.
