The Norway spruce is one of the most important tree species in Europe. This has been put under considerable pressure due to ongoing impacts climate change. Meanwhile, frequent droughts and pest outbreaks are reported as main reason for its dieback, resulting severe forest cover loss. Such was case with forests within Kopaonik National Park (NP) Serbia. study aims quantify, spatially temporally, loss evaluate sensitivity various vegetation indices (VIs) detecting drought-induced response...
To enhance our understanding of forest carbon sequestration, climate change mitigation and drought impact on ecosystems, the availability high-resolution annual growth maps based tree-ring width (TRW) would provide a significant advancement to field. Site-specific characteristics, which can be approximated by Earth observation satellites (EOS), emerge as crucial drivers growth, influencing how translates into tree growth. EOS provides information surface reflectance related characteristics...
Forest ecosystems represent one of the largest and most important on Earth, containing close to 80% biomass our planet. As such, they play a significant role in global carbon cycle because through photosynthesis, forests absorb more than emit thus accumulate it. The species deciduous Europe, European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), is exceptional importance from aspect storage. Considering that state pure poorly investigated western part Balkans, need for total research was imposed complete...

As forests in Bosnia and Herzegovina cover 2,904,600 ha or 56.7 % of its total area, since the meteorological data analysis for period 1961–2014 shows that mean annual temperature maintains a continuous rise, сlose attention should be paid to these fragile ecosystems. It is important note one most economically valuable species forestry Herzegovina, Norway spruce, particularly endangered due very low drought resistance spread various diseases. Comparing last climate sequence (1991–2019) with...
European beech is one of the most important and common tree species in Europe, which have extremely wide amplitude sense horizontal vertical distribution. In Serbia Bosnia Herzegovina (Fagus sylvatica L.) represents from an economic ecological point view, because it's constituting significant areas highly productive pure mixed forests. The main goal this research to determine influence orography (slope, aspect, elevation, spatial distribution-climate zone) stand characteristic (canopy) on...
This paper presents the results of research Timberjack 240b tractor equipped with a double-drum winch (work form 1 Tractor driver + 0 Assistant) in beech stand at an average elevation 983.73 m. The was conducted using time and work study method, help GIS technology certain segments research. achieved working hours consist 75.44% effective 24.56% delay time. coefficient is 1.33. In total, 47 transport cycles were realized, 66 stopping points, 1.41 per cycle. skidding distance 221.19 363 logs...
