Adaptive Forest Management: Case Study of Sessile Oak (Quercus petraea (Matt.) Leibl.) Forests on Ozren Mountain of the Republic of Srpska
Journal Title: Lesnoy Zhurnal (Russian Forestry Journal) - Year 2020, Vol 13, Issue 3
Abstract
Adaptive management is a basic concept of managing forest ecosystems in the face of increased risks such as climate change. Therefore, there is a need to develop key theories and information on which adaptive forest management is based on. This paper deals with the overview of basic information on adaptive forest management, with particular reference to its importance in relation to examples of sessile oak forests drying and climate change in the Republic of Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Silviculture of sessile oak forests affected by acute and chronic drying of the trees should be based on the preservation of the complete set of stands and miscibility with black pine on shallow serpentinite and peridotite soils. The paper deals with the possibilities of adaptive management of sessile oak forests and concludes with a description of adaptive management activities.
