Much of the pine forest consists of even-aged stands reflecting natural regeneration after historical clearance or fire events. Here the forest lacks a tall shrub layer. Under more natural mixed-age stands with variable tree densities, there was (as in the foreground here) a tall shrub storey of Juniper, Juniperus communis, rowan, Sorbus aucuparia, and perhaps bird cherry, Prunus padus, as well as young birches.
