This podcast explores two key sources highlighting the biodiversity associated with old and monumental trees. The first source is an informational leaflet detailing various groups of organisms, such as fungi (both wood-decaying and mycorrhizal), epiphytes (lichens and mosses), xylophagous beetles, and cavity-dwelling birds and mammals. It describes their specific habitat requirements and relationships with these trees. The second source is a field guide outlining 47 different microhabitats within trees, classified into 15 groups, providing information on their size, frequency, and turnover rate. It also includes a list of associated species for each microhabitat. Both sources emphasize the crucial role of old trees in supporting biodiversity.
