“…However, nature-based silviculture is often more of an alternative to the weaknesses of classical forestry than a uniform approach. Therefore, a variety of regionally dependent silvicultural movements attempting to improve forest management have appeared in Central Europe and beyond, including "closeto-nature silviculture", "single stem management", "ecologically-based silviculture", "growing stock tending", "nature-friendly silviculture", "continuous cover forestry", and "silviculture for old-growth attributes" (Bauhus et al 2009, Johann 2006, Mason et al 1999, Mlinsek 1991and Thomasius 1992. The following characteristics of nature-based silviculture will be examined from a nature conservation perspective:…”

“…Forest managers are prepared to enforce the consistent application of the principles of ecologically adequate silviculture, based on the empiricism of the last decades and on the latest scientific syn-theses. Axioms of this new concept are as follows: (a) the production space of the forest should be permanently utilized at its optimum capacity by growing mixed stands; (b) the continuity of the forest environment and the reproduction of the site-accommodated populations of tree species should be secured by natural regeneration; (c) the timber output should be optimized by tending the growing stock with the simultaneous support of the ecological and environmental functions (THOMASIUS, 1994). The objective will not be a nearly natural forest but a forest to ensure direct benefits for the community.…”

Search for a balance between changing requirements for benefits from the forest and its condition in the Moravian-Silesian Beskids (Czech Republic)

The forest area of the Moravian-Silesian Beskids is on the slopes of the most westerly range of mountains of the Carpathian System in the Czech Republic, the only site with specific growth conditions for the forest. The exceptional significance of the area consists on its role in ensuring the range of requirements for the functions of the forest for a large industrial agglomeration. In this area, the forests form a vitally important environment. The region has the natural appearance of a mountain landscape and a long and eventful history of forest use. The forest culture changed its original composition to the benefit of species highly valued in past centuries. Particularly dramatic were the changes which occurred in the course of the last 60 years. They occurred because of strong anthropic pressure and within a very short period of time as far as the life of a forest is concerned. The demands of the society concerning other benefits of the forest, especially the protection of water resources for a new industrial agglomeration with extensive housing areas in the Ostrava region in the northern foothills, were gradually increasing with the growing problem of air pollution. Since the 1950s, local forestry has been facing new and unusual problems related to forest policy and the multifunctional use of the forest. In order to ensure forest functions, new solutions must be sought in terms of forest management and particularly in terms of silvicultural methods,which have to be sufficiently flexible to efficiently respond to environmental changes and to a possible shift in the demands placed on the forest. The present forest management systems are based on the principles of sustainable forestry, i.e.,on the principles of ecologically justified silviculture.

One major result of forest conversion in Saxony, East Germany, is the increasing importance of two-storied stands composed of a conifer canopy and a deciduous-tree understory. To enhance the applicability of the growth and yield simulator BWINPro under these conditions, three of its major sub-models were adapted to the regional growing conditions and to the relatively high level of diversity in spatial structure, mixture of species, and age variability typical for forests in conversion: (1) A new module for simulating single-tree juvenile growth was developed for European beech and Common oak under canopies of Norway spruce and Scots pine. Predictions in this submodel are derived from individual height, diameter at breast height (dbh), and the influences of horizontal and vertical competition; (2) An alternative distancedependent competition index was introduced to estimate individual basal area increment according to treespecific growing conditions; (3) A modified logistic mortality model was parameterized for the most important Saxon species based on tree dimensions and basal area increment. Data came from permanent sample plots distributed throughout the region and from three chronosequence plot series established specifically for obtaining model input data. The new components were included into the existing structure of BWINPro. As a result of the adaption, the regional version BWINPro-S provides enhanced opportunities of planning and management for forest conversion and for multi-storied stands.
