Abstract Black locust ( Robinia pseudoacacia L.), a species native to the eastern North America, was introduced Europe probably in 1601 and currently extends over 2.3 × 10 6 ha. It has become naturalized all sub-Mediterranean temperate regions rivaling Populus spp. as second most planted broadleaved tree worldwide after Eucalyptus This wide-spreading planting is because black an important multipurpose species, producing wood, fodder, source of honey well bio-oil biomass. also for carbon...
Protected areas (PAs) are designed to provide a wide range of ecosystem services (ES) and conserve biodiversity, alongside cultural values. Understanding the production processes within PAs is crucial decipher relationships between different ES, including primary (timber) provision public goods, assess their degree 'jointness'. This article models PA management as joint activity involving multiple outputs, recreation, timber production. Using panel data on costs from 57 in Serbia...
SUMMARY Net Present Value and Internal Rate of Return were indicators used in the cost analysis commercial poplar plantations Serbia. The study was conducted on four types sites under Populus x euramericana cl. I-214 aged 24–42 years. aim to examine financial results different ages at discount rates. For a rate r = 12%, all tested areas had negative NPV, regardless age site quality. At 6%, shorter production cycles up 28 years better classes positive NPVs (80–580 €ha-1), while 4% investments...
Abstract Europe has a history rich in examples of successful and problematic introductions trees with native origin outside (non-native trees, NNT). Many international legal frameworks such as treaties conventions also the European Union have responded to global concern about potential negative impacts NNT that may become invasive natural ecosystems.

In the previous utilization of natural resources in forestry as an economic activity, timber exploitation was always dominant part, and other forest products partly neglected. Nowadays, non-wood (NWFPs) occupy increasingly significant position sector numerous countries, so that revenue from their approaches returns realized by classical production products. The research performed Vojvodina, on sample six enterprises dealing with NWFP purchase, processing sale aimed at analysis market...

Questionnaire used for purpose research. aim identify clusters order...
The article presents the economic aspects of growing poplar on plantations in Russia and Serbia. For Russia, cultivation forest with a short turnaround is promising activity which enables to get NPV 7 202 €/ha, taking into account risks plantations. In creation plantation crops fundamental role played by their density. To timber density should be from 3.0 5.0 thousand plants per 1 ha. Plantations 20-year rotation planting ha are most profitable less risky ones. Similar results have been...
Payments for environmental services (PES) have attracted increasing interest as a mechanism to translate non-market values of the environment, into real financial incentives local actors provide services.The PES concept is relatively new Serbia.However, recent laws regulating use natural resources enabled some basic economics mechanisms.The current Environmental Protection Act in Serbia adopted "user pays" principle and introduced fees ecological services.Other laws, such Water Forest Act,...

Poplar plantations are a category of fixed assets in forestry, i.e. the with biological character. They related to their site, they cultivated for relatively long time and have utilization cycle, yield development determined by plantation growth age. Plantations transfer value gradually obtained products during period harvesting, and, realization products, means invested establishment reproduced. The investments poplar growing can be long, so is harvesting. Therefore, it important determine...
