The aim of the contribution is to elaborate the scenario of climate change HadGEM variant RCP 85 for the period 2021-2040, 2041-2060 and 2081-2100 and its impact on forest stands. The climatic characteristics are evaluated at the level of the zonal forest vegetation zone (FVZ). This ecosystem unit...

The aim of this work was to assess the effect of stand age and type of forest management on the species richness and abundance of spiders, ground beetles, centipedes, millipedes and woodlice. The arthropods were sampled in four treatments - clearings, young, middle-aged and old forest stands. The...

A group of saproxylic beetles has become a frequently used as a bioindicator of forest biodiversity. These beetles, especially endangered species, testify very credibly to the preservation of the forest ecosystem. Intensive forest management reduces biodiversity mainly due to the absence of dead...

The objective of the article is to evaluate economic profitability of selected management strategies in forest protected areas from the perspective of forest property owners. The regime of nature and landscape protection in a majority of cases means a change or a burden of forest management and...

This paper presents an evaluation of the public socio-economic importance of forest services in a municipal forest property, in terms of their relationship to the market in the Czech Republic (CR). The total investigated area of the forest property is 3,706.67 ha. The total annual socioeconomic...

The literature review summarises the management practices of black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) covering the topics of seed management and nursery production, silvicultural techniques as well as the approaches to the eradication of this tree species. In the Czech Republic, black locust is not...

The article summarizes basic information about the conditions of forest seed management and nursery management in the Czech Republic. Given the fluctuating year-to-year development, it is problematic to predict the future trends in these fields. The source materials included data from the Reports...

Large forested areas exhibit a Norway spruce dieback in the Czech Republic. Foresters being faced this disaster need to change tree species composition of new stands. The objective of this study is the assessment of forest regeneration costs at study sites in Northern and Central Moravia (Czech...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of selective logging on species richness, composition, and conservation value of epigeic spider community. We studied an initial stage of abandoned coppice restoration in the Děvín National Nature Reserve (Czech Republic). We sampled experimental...

Monospecific stands of spruce and pine have manifested health worsening over the last two decades in the Czech Republic. Given the ongoing climate changes, one can expect a further loss of these coniferous forest stands in near future. Therefore foresters are interested in the use of pioneer...
