This paper treats the extent and the trends of biological investments into the Slovenian forests from 1970 onwards. Due to changing forest surfaces and for reasons of comparability with other countries, the intensity of investments is calculated as quotient between surface of biological investments and entire forest's surface. Over the past few years, a decrease in investments was observed, and proposals for solving the current situation are brought forward. Owing to different forest conditions, a different categorisation of forest silviculture work, varying traditions and economic power, an objective comparison is much complicated.
