Definition | Naturally regenerated forest of native species, where there are no clearly visible indications of human activities and the ecological processes are not significantly disturbed. There has been no known significant human intervention or the last significant human intervention was long enough ago to have allowed the natural species composition and processes to have become re-established. . Natural damage to the forest as through fire, avalanche, drought or other natural hazards are not in contradiction to the character of primary forest. |
