Description

In connection with the bark beetle calamity, extensive damage occurs in forests. In our project, we focus on the implementation of innovative procedures for restoration in the forests of Forest cooperative of municipalities (FCM) Přibyslav, which we will further share as an example of good practice. Our goal is to improve the state of biodiversity and forest ecosystems. The design of the procedures will be based on the results of research projects solved by Forestry and Game Management Research Institute (FGMRI) in previous years. Measures to support biodiversity will include: a combination of natural regeneration and artificial afforestation or the use of two-phase regeneration to foster species, age and spatial diversity of emerging stands; consistent support for the presence of mother tree; leaving part of dead wood in the forest for spontaneous colonization by other organisms; selection and preservation of habitat trees.
