The aim and purpose of the thesis is to ascertain the damage to stands which occur in mechanised logging and wood harvesting with the HSM 805F machine in coniferous stands. The research is performed in two works of the forest management unit Mislinja. For the acquisition of wood and the ascertainment of the damage done to stands two different technologies and methods are used. In the works 1 shortwood logging is performed where the method of circular/round faces is used in order to assess the damage to stands, while in the works 2 the longwood logging with the method of the complete inventory is used in order to establish the damage to stands. In detecting the damage to stands the location, age, size, and the amount of damage in logging are focused on. It has been ascertained that in both works the damage that represented over 200 cm2 of surface is most present. In addition, both works have shown the highest rate of damage to the tree trunk. The thesis also includes its focus on the rate of damage to stands after wood logging and harvesting. The conclusion is that the damage to stands in works 2 where the technology of longwood is used is higher than in works 1. In addition, the research shows the share of damage to stands in both works (that is 33% and 45% respectively) is somewhat higher than its average in Slovenia, which amonuts to around 25%.
