| Summary: | The subject of the research is the selected stands in the Tara National Park,
the Tara plateau mountain range within the management unit (MU) of the same
name. These stands occupate over 90% of the total area of the MU and from a
management aspect are characterized by structural neglect, significant
deviation from the balanced state. The basic assumption of the research is
reflected in testing the possibility of a significant impact on improving
the structure of these forests during the management period and the
possibility of recognizing the direction of their development as a result of
the application of different treatments. Testing this assumption was carried
out in relation to felling according to the real (planned allocation),
possible (allocation in different stand situations in a specific section on
six test surfaces of 10 ares each) and the assumed allocation (theoretical
category). The development assessment was carried out according to the
results of the impact of allocation (felling) on the change in the state at
the end of the management period. To achieve the set goal, one section
(section 66, section a) was selected as a typical representative of these
stands. The results obtained indicate that the tested different variants of
the referral can only partially correct the structural neglect of the stand.
By applying the last (theoretical) variant of the referral, positive
development elements of the stand are partially achieved (reducing the
number of trees above the diameter of the cutting maturity). By analyzing
the results, we conclude that recognizing the direction of stand development
and its direction is the primary category of activity in a management
period. The normal selection structure as a theoretical category is at the
same time the main goal of its existence towards which it is necessary to
direct activities. In specific stand forms, the main recommendation relates
to understanding the problem as a long-term category, with elements that
indicate an improvement in the condition at the end of the management
period. |
