The objective of the study was to update, according to the actual applied technologies, the working time and production norms for the forest management practice. Observations were conducted in multiple working setups with special focus on the differences related to technologies, infrastructure,...

In Romania, the rotation is the main base of forest management for regular high forests, being determinant in establishing structure, size and growth of the "normal" growing stock, as well as for calculating the allowable cut of principal yields and ensuring the continuity of production and...

The study's objective was to update, according to the applied technologies, the working time and production norms for the forest management practice regarding the project drafting phase. Observations were conducted in multiple working setups focusing on the differences related to technologies,...

The Markov chains were deployed to 340 ha of forest with an annual indicative growth of 896 m³. As 2843 m³ of salvage fellings were harvested over five years, we have tested the Markov chains to correct the indicative growth, assuming the next forest management plan will be based on an improved...

Conservation of biodiversity and natural forests is a very current topic an of great importance both at the global and national levels. In this context, at the Băile Herculane Forestry District, simultaneously with the forest management planning works from 2021-2022, all the stands were analyzed in ...

Geometrical information provided by laser scanner technology has been successfully applied in a large number of fields associated with environmental analysis and forestry. On the other hand, radiometric information, provided by the laser reflectance intensity data and the digital cameras, is used...

The paper shows the results of a small-scale R&D project on early silviculture of Norway spruce, carried out in a pure plantation of 0.4 ha, 2x1 m (5,000 plants ha^-1), established in 2001. In 2009, following the application of an access pruning on all stand trees, 60 "potential" final crop trees...

The first part focuses on the need and practical way to obtain more accurate and less subjective information than when collecting the field data necessary to develop forest management plans, mainly related to the average diameter, average height, unitary volume and composition. Thus, for each...

The article presents an analysis of the role played by the forest certification process in the identification and the management of forest ecosystem services provided by High Conservation Value Forests (HCVFs). Data were collected from thirteen publicly available HCVFs reports which cover a total...

Modeling and forecasting forest evolution in the context of climate and socio-economic change is a challenge for the scientific community. This paper aims to calibrate the LANDIS-II simulation model for a type of forest ecosystem by introducing climate scenarios and forecast of its dynamics under...
