Here, we modelled French forest reserves' time since the last harvesting operation—a proxy for forest maturity—then inferred the current statistical distribution of overmature forests (i.e., forests over 50 years without harvesting) in France. Location: Metropolitan France. Methods: We used inventories from forest reserves and managed forests to calibrate a generalised linear mixed model explaining the time since the last harvesting with selected structural attributes and environmental variables. We then projected this model on the independent National Forest Inventory dataset. We thus obtained an updated estimation of the proportion and a rough distribution of overmature forest stands in metropolitan France. Results: We found that high basal area of very large trees, high volumes of standing and downed deadwood, high diversity of tree-related microhabitats and more marginally diversity of decay stages best characterised the time since the last harvesting. Volumes of stumps and high density of coppices translating legacy of past forest management also distinguished more overmature plots. Our projection yielded an estimated 3% of French forests over 50 years without harvesting mostly located in more inaccessible areas (i.e., mountainous areas). Main conclusions: Our study showed that the time since the last harvesting could be derived from a combination of key structural attributes characterising overmature temperate forests. It gives the first robust statistical estimate of the proportion of overmature forests in France and may serve to report on their status. Our method could be extended in countries with accessible National Forest Inventory and calibration data, thus producing indicators at an international level.
