Molluscs of the Jedlový důl Nature Reserve in the Jizerské hory Protected Landscape Area (Czech Republic)
2023
Abstract
The Jedlový důl Nature Reserve is located in the central part of the Jizerské hory PLA near the village of Josefův Důl in northern Bohemia. The reserve protects a geomorphologically important mountain valley with rocks, waterfalls, semi-natural forests on talus slopes, and rare montane plant and animal species.
The local mountain biotopes are quite acidophilic, represented by a few springs, mountain brook, beech woods, and mixed talus slope forests with the predominance of spruce. Thus the surveyed malacofauna with 18 species (17 terrestrial gastropods and 1 bivalve) is relatively poor.
Currently, forest and ubiquitous species are dominant there and are widespread in the Jizerské hory PLA.
