ABSTRACT Based on modern microbiology, we propose a major revision in current space exploration philosophy and planetary protection policy, especially regarding microorganisms in space. Mainly, microbial introduction should not be considered accidental but inevitable. We hypothesize the near impossibility of exploring new planets without carrying and/or delivering any microbial travelers. In addition, although we highlight the importance of controlling and tracking such contaminations—to explore the existence of extraterrestrial microorganisms—we also believe that we must discuss the role of microbes as primary colonists and assets, rather than serendipitous accidents, for future plans of extraterrestrial colonization. This paradigm shift stems partly from the overwhelming evidence of microorganisms’ diverse roles in sustaining life on Earth, such as symbioses and ecosystem services (decomposition, atmosphere effects, nitrogen fixation, etc.). Therefore, we propose a framework for new discussion based on the scientific implications of future colonization and terraforming: (i) focus on methods to track and avoid accidental delivery of Earth's harmful microorganisms and genes to extraterrestrial areas; (ii) begin a rigorous program to develop and explore ‘Proactive Inoculation Protocols’. We outline a rationale and solicit feedback to drive a public and private research agenda that optimizes diverse organisms for potential space colonization.

The paper analyzes the structural diversity of the spruce dominated old-growth forest in National Nature Reserve (NNR) Zadná Poľana on the series of three permanent research plots (PRP) with the area of 0.5 ha each. The height and diameter diversity as well as the spatial distribution were expressed using standard structural indices (Füldner’s TH and TD index, Gini index, Clark-Evans index). Obtained results confirmed the low structural diversity regardless of the developmental stage of investigated forest. The extensive ungulate browsing retards the height growth of the subsequent tree generation and leads toward to the structural homogenization of the future forest stand.
