20.500.12556/RUL-98326 Challenges for uneven-aged silviculture in restoration of post-disturbance forests in Central Europe a synthesis Forest managers are often required to restore forest stands following natural disturbances, a situation that may become more common and more challenging under global change. In parts of Central Europe, particularly in mountain regions dominated by mixed temperate forests, the use of relatively low intensity, uneven-aged silviculture is a common management approach. Because this type of management is based on mimicking less intense disturbances, the restoration of more severe disturbance patches within forested landscapes has received little attention. The goal of this paper is to synthesize research on the restoration of forests damaged by disturbances in temperate forests of Slovenia and neighbouring regions of Central Europe, where uneven-aged silviculture is practiced. Research indicates that active management aimed at favouring mixed uneven-aged forest reduces the risk of disturbance and improves the resilience of stands. Salvage logging may have positive or negative effects on regeneration, much of which is due to the method applied and the quality of work. The most prominent factors that negatively affect restoration are: lack of advanced regeneration and decomposed woody debris, high altitude, steep slopes, dense ground vegetation, and overbrowsing. Planting or sowing should be applied in post-disturbance forests where many negative factors interact and where a high demand for sustainability of forest ecosystem services is present. natural disturbance advanced regeneration planting natural regeneration uneven-aged silviculture gozdarstvo ujme gojenje gozdov naravne motnje true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2017-11-27 11:08:13 2017-11-27 11:09:00 2022-08-12 14:44:20 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2017 0 0 20 str. iss. 10, art. 378 Vol. 8 2017 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 630*2 1999-4907 10.3390/f8100378 4887718 3872166 Challenges_2017.pdf Challenges_2017.pdf 1 0F04EFB63D20E684828990F99B95F7D3 a26d982ae6c118d1e2ff082e9a3fa3ee3d6f1a39c1958744811818258c540165 5c4263fe-a1b4-11eb-a523-00155dcfd717 20.500.12556/rul/3596ad42-63fe-4fba-bbff-2995c80c2cf0 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=107563 https://www.mdpi.com/1999-4907/8/10/378 0 306f2297-1ac0-11ec-a523-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=148232 Biotehniška fakulteta 0 0 0
