    Definition "forest stand or area consisting of native tree species, that have developed, predominantly through natural processes, structures and dynamics normally associated with late-seral developmental phases in primary or undisturbed forests of the same type" Reference "COMMISSION STAFF WORKING DOCUMENT Commission Guidelines for Defining, Mapping, Monitoring and Strictly Protecting EU Primary and Old-Growth Forests (23.11.2023), SWD(2023) 62"
    Comment FAO (2018) uses the term “primary forest” in the reporting of the Forest Resource Assessment (FRA). According to FAO, in primary forests there is no known significant human intervention or the last significant human intervention was long enough ago as to have allowed the re-establishment of natural species composition, structures and processes. The FAO definition conceptually matches with the term “forest undisturbed by man”, as used in FOREST EUROPE (2015). Also in this case it is assumed no known significant human intervention or the last significant human intervention was long enough as to allow natural species composition and processes. The Carpathian Convention (2014) represented by seven European countries, of which five are part of the EU, uses the term “virgin forests” and defines a set of criteria and indicators for their identification, mapping and strict protection. Its definition of virgin forests broadly overlaps with the concepts of primary forest, because considers forests that have not been influenced directly by human activities in their development. The UNESCO initiative on Ancient and Primeval Beech Forests of the Carpathians and Other Regions of Europe4 includes 12 European countries of which 10 are part of the EU. UNESCO uses the terms “primeval forest” and “ancient (beech) forests”. In this case, primeval forests is considered synonymous with “virgin forests”. In addition, they consider ancient (beech) forests synonymous with “old-growth (beech) forest”. Since 2020, the UNESCO definition of primeval forests (Kirchmeir and Kovarovics 2016) matches that of virgin forests used in the Carpathian Convention. The notion of old-growth forest may include both primary and secondary forests as long as the stands have developed for a long period without important anthropogenic disturbance. Old-growth forests are characterised by functional, structural and compositional characteristics normally associated with old primary forests of the same type. This notion is adopted by the European Commission (2015) and the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD)
