The master's thesis deals with growth and site characteristics, the structure and development of the forest in the upper timberline in Slovenia. Measurements were made and data collected on several selected locations based on which we confirmed or partly disproved the hypothesis formed for this purpose. The results of the measurements and the synthesis of the data collected at eight sites point to a strong anthropogenic influence and the changes that follow after the termination of such forces. We have identified the main forest communities in the upper timberline with the help of phytosociological inventories in the preserved parts of the forest stands.
