The introduction of the control method in the Snežnik forests significantly affected the development of the forestry in Slovenia. The control method or the adaptive forest management stands for adapting the management objective and correcting the measurement system on the basis of the supplementary information about the management system and its environment, gathered during the management. The theory of the adaptive management forms the basis for the forest management planning, which is reflected in all planning phases. The forest inventory must, considering the concrete conditions, ensure decision oriented information. The monitoring is an essential source of data for evaluating the applied methods and the basis for the management evaluation. Due to the costs and time consumption, the monitoring of the signs must be limited to the key parameters of the condition and development of the forest ecosystems which are manageable, can be changed by applying measures and represent the indicators of the integral forest ecosystem's conditions. The adaptive management emphasizes the importance of connecting the execution and the monitoring, the management evaluation and the new plan; therefore the planning should be performed by the person who knows the planning object and its environment well. The adaptive management promotes the team work which canimprove the decisions and contributes to a lesser conflict level in the plan execution. The preparation of the forest management plan is above all a supplementation of the previous plan and by no means making of an entirely newone. The adaptive management requires a designed diversity of actions and adjusting the objectives and measures with regard to the acquired experience.
