| Title : | PLANNING AND PRODUCTION OF FOREST REPRODUCTIVE MATERIAL FOR THE NEEDS OF THE PUBLIC ENTERPRISE FOR FOREST MANAGEMENT “SRBIJAŠUME” BELGRADE |
| Abstract : | Public Enterprise for Forest Management „Srbijašume“ manages with forests and forestland that cover the area of 902.087,68 ha (763,114. 80 ha of land under forests and 138.972,88 ha of non-wooded forestland). The aim of this paper is to determine the amounts of needed forest seed and seedlings for afforestation (establishing of new forests) and reforestation of forests in the period 2012-2016, as well as to adjust production of planting material with plans and actual needs and to offer a proposal for improved production of reproductive material. Production of high quality forest seeds and planting material is a priority and strategic task for PE „Srbijašume“. Production of high quality reproductive material ensures establishing of better quality forests, reduces production process, forests get better use of habitat potentials and become more successful in their generally useful functions. Information on the forest conditions, management plans, seed and seedling needs in seventy forest areas (338 management units) were incorporated into a central data base, followed by its analysis and evaluation. Plans of PE „Srbijašume” for the period 2012-2016 include afforestation (establishing of new forests) of 4.613,55 ha, reconstruction of degraded high forests on the area of 1.375,02 ha, direct conversion of coppice forests of 3.639,30 ha, adding new plants on 3.550,19 ha and regeneration of burned areas of 164.02 ha. Production of planting material needed for afforestation and reforestation of the planned areas requires 10.071,57 kg seeds (9,749.75 kg of deciduous and 321.82 kg of coniferous) and reforestation of forests requires sawing 110.551 kilograms of seeds. The analysis of data has determined a need to reorganize seed and nursery production in PE „Srbijašume“, with the objective to improve production of reproductive material. |
