Forests in Croatia are characterized by higher levels of biodiversity species composition. Three significant events occurred Croatian forests over the past ten years, all which have a common denominator—sanitary felling. The challenge sustainable development started with ice storm 2014 that amounted to damage and raised costs forest stands EUR 231,180,921. second was 2017 when bark beetle outbreak Gorski Kotar region. In December 2017, windstorm same area caused approximately 500,000 m3 wood...
The causes of the decline silver fir across Europe in 1960s and 1970s its subsequent recovery remain open to debate. We studied radial growth possible influential factors on uneven-aged fir–Norway spruce–European beech forests Dinaric Mountains Croatia (180 000 ha) since 1900 using dendrochronological methods. Data large firs (diameter at breast height > 50 cm) sampled 2002 region (151 plots, 491 m2 each), regional climatic data (temperature, precipitation drought) SO2 emissions were used...
Legal ownership of land defines the formal relationship between a landowner and land. Besides legal ownership, there is also psychological which landowners can develop toward Despite abundant literature on relationships land, it remains unclear under circumstances sense over occurs what impacts individual feelings may have landscape dynamics if aggregated or scaled up. Building upon theory, we interviewed 442 private forest owners in Croatia about benefits landownership. By using Multiple...
Abstract The study focuses on the development of stand growth models for more intensive management black walnut (Juglans nigra L.) plantations in Croatia. In total, 48 plots were sampled (ages between 3 and 91 years) and, average, 28.3 trees (between 17 43 trees) measured [diameter at breast height (dbh), total height, two crown diameters, increment core] each plot. Management scenarios with rotations 50, 60, 70 80 years developed under three different regimes: conservative (CAS), high...
This paper presents the results of a simulation model for prediction sale prices common beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) and silver fi r (Abies alba Mill.) assortments in case study Brinje Forest Offi ce Croatia.The survey covers future time frame 140 years (starting from year 2013).The database realized selling period 1997 to 2013 was used this research.On basis statistical analysis past using Monte Carlo method, with 500, 100, 50 30 repetitions made.The result research is methodological forest...
Gospodarenje šumama u Hrvatskoj je pretežito koncentrirano i usmjereno prema državnom vlasništvu, koje stoga obilježeno stalnošću dosljednošću planiranja provedbe postupaka gospodarenja, te se provode načela održivog gospodarenja na svim razinama. Nasuprot tomu, privatne šume su uslijed povijesnih okolnosti male zastupljenosti usitnjenosti bile značajno zapostavljene sve do nedavno. Stoga cilj ovog rada analizirati prikazati postojeća obilježja privatnih šuma, šumoposjeda šumoposjednika, kao...
Stand regeneration is a basic task of forest management and therefore natural with minimal interventions presents special challenge, as well the aim modern planning [1].Uneven-aged including also selection approach in circumstances emphasised multi-functionality ecological significance forests on global level science recognized most acceptable approach.Since prerequisite for establishing maintaining continuous stand through entire area, then assessment more demanding relation to even-aged...
Temelji moderne šumarske znanosti i struke u Hrvatskoj (preporodno razdoblje) postavljeni su tijekom 19. stoljeća. U relativno kratkom vremenu druge polovine stoljeća osnovano je Hrvatsko-slavonsko šumarsko društvo (1846), pokrenut Šumarski list (1877), Gospodarsko-šumarskog učilišta Križevcima (1860), usvojen Zakon o šumama za cijelu Austro-Ugarsku Monarhiju (1852), proveden „Zakon imovnih općina hrvatskoj slavonskoj vojnoj Krajini“ (1873) započela s radom Šumarska akademija na Sveučilištu...
Abstract Out of the 901,848 ha forests European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) in Croatia, 383,473 are even-aged with irregular age-class structure. Potential forest management (including conversion coppice forests) was studied using a dynamic model system, context long-term planning at national level Croatia. Three policy scenarios were defined regarding area control method, that is, planned for annual regeneration felling given as function (1) total (conservative approach scenario–CAS), (2)...
Background and Purpose:The aim of this article is to create a virtual forest stand based on the field measurement spatially separated sample plots examine its credibility deviation basic characteristics as compared measurements.Material Methods: Field measurements were made 20 circular with m radius, set 100x100 grid.By using univariate Ripley's K function regularity spatial pattern trees was analysed.The diameter distribution frequencies height within individual class mathematically fitted...
The environmental, social and economic potential of Dinaric uneven-aged forests along with the complex stand dynamics influenced by different long-term management approaches environmental factors require comprehensive forest monitoring. This study aimed to explore differences in current status recent past structures between unmanaged managed mixed fir-beech Croatian part Alps using large-scale data from an established monitoring system. From 74 permanent sample plots distributed within type...
