Comparison of the monitoring and legacy data revealed complex patterns in the forest understorey dynamics. Contrary to general assumptions, the short‐term dynamics of forest understorey can be significant. It is recommended that monitoring designs consider not only permanent plots but also resurveys of semi‐permanent plots. Considering more than one temporal scale will improve our understanding of the plant community dynamics.
