Plant species density (number of species/m(2)) and vegetation cover were higher in shelter cut areas than in the forest reserves both on the talus and at the cliff base. Clear-cut areas had a higher vegetation cover than forest reserves on the talus. Shelter cut areas showed a larger proportion of plants with high light demand and a higher mean light score of plants than clear-cut areas and forest reserves. We conclude that selective cutting of trees (shelter tree cutting) is the best forestry practice for the conservation of a high biodiversity and a multitude of relict plant species on limestone cliffs in the Jura mountains. However, this forestry practice is time-consuming and thus expensive. To preserve the specialised cliff flora, sponsorship for this forestry practice is needed from governmental and non-governmental organisations. | ||

Limestone cliffs in the forests of the Swiss Jura mountains harbour a highly diverse plant community including glacial relict species.
