Artificial energy inputs into spruce lowland forests in suburban landscapes in Slovenia

Pirnat, Janez (author), Hladnik, David (author)

Slovene forestry is concerned with nature conservation, but in the past, the species variety of forests has often been changed and, similarly as elsewhere in Europe, the share of forest with artificial dominance of Norway spruce increased. Based on the spatial model of landscape structure, we estimated the arrangement in conservation of suburban forests in eight Slovene macro regions. In the area of town Kočevje, we assessed artificial energy inputs in the forests lying within one kilometre large area used by inhabitants for daily recreation. In this area, 65 % of forests were categorized as forests with artificial dominance of Norway spruce.

Abstract

Slovensko gozdarstvo je naravovarstveno usmerjeno, toda v preteklosti je bila vrstna sestava gozdov pogosto spremenjena in podobno kot drugje v Evropi se je povečal delež zasmrečenih gozdov. Na podlagi prostorskega modela krajinske zgradbe smo ocenili razporeditev in ohranjenost primestnih gozdov v osmih slovenskih makroregijah. Na območju mesta Kočevje smo ocenili umetne energijske vnose v gozdovih, ki ležijo znotraj kilometrskega pasu mesta, na območju dnevne rekreacije prebivalcev. V tem pasu je kar 65 % gozdov sodilo v kategorijo zasmrečenih gozdov.
