The aim of the thesis was to investigate the regeneration performance on areas that have been affected by large-scale natural disturbances since 2014. Regeneration was inventoried in 20 plots of 2 × 2 m and silver fir regeneration in a radius of 20 m around the plot. The regeneration was examined in areas without protection and afforestation measures, in areas with group protection, TRICO protection and in the forest reserve. In addition to counting the young trees and classifying them into height classes and identifying damage, the ecological conditions on the plots were also recorded. It was found that the highest densities of regeneration were in the areas without measures (225182 individuals/ha), followed by the areas with TRICO protection (98017 individuals/ha), in forest reserve (83733 individuals/ha) and the lowest densities were found in the fence (73733 individuals/ha). The results indicate that the total damage to young trees varies considerably depending on the treatment. However, looking at the damage by tree species, there are no significant differences for spruce and beech, while the damage to silver fir varies considerably depending on the treatment. In all cases, the damage to young trees is greatest inside the fence. The observed situation does not confirm the success of the protection measures implemented. It indicates that the success of the regeneration in our case depends mainly on the growing conditions, the accessibility of the site for game and the maintenance of the fence. The final results raise the question of whether it makes sense to invest resources in expensive measures such as group protection and artificial regeneration if the inhibiting factors are too strong.
