Havešová National Nature Reserve, Slovakia
Like Stužica National Nature Reserve , Havešová is a part of Poloniny National Park and from 2007 a part of Primeval Beech Forests of the Carpathians World Heritage Area. The reserve consists of 1.7 km 2 of highly productive almost pure Fagus sylvatica (European beech) forest 1 . Apart from a small portion of younger forest 2 , the reserve has no signs of any human influence 1 .
F. sylvatica reaches great heights here. The tallest tree I measured in 2015 with a Nikon Laser 550A S instrument was 48.3 m. Still taller trees have been reported 1 2 3 but they have probably been measured using the tangent method, which often results in over-measurement 4 . However, I measured only about 10 trees, so there may well be F. sylvatica exceeding 50 metres. The record for a reliably measured F. sylvatica is 49.3 m for a tree in Germany 5 .
Elevation is 450 –730 m. Annual precipitation is 700 – 800 mm and average annual temperature approx. 7°C 1 .
