Biodiversity and stability restoration of forest ecosystems in the zone of natural growth of Norway Spruce on the Bohemian Forest National Park territory
Vilém Podrázský
Project is directed at the data collection for state estimation, at the prognosis of forest ecosystems development and at active conservation as well as at restoration of mountain forests with natural growth of Norway spruce on the Bohemian Forest National Park territory. Initial works are planned for the period 1997 - 2000, a wide spectrum of work teams takes part in this project: 10 departments of the Faculty of Forestry in Prague, Research Station of the FGMRI and 1 department of the Faculty of Economics of the Czech University of Agriculture. These complex teams should enable the holistic solution and the obtaining of significant and relevant data and conclusions concerning natural forests restoration and management. Research project is composed of 4 parts: 1) changes in forest ecosystems, 2) dynamics of abiotic and biotic damage to forest stands, 3) technological and economic aspects of the forest regeneration, 4) silvicultural treatments. The project expects the synthesis of available data as well as of original results and the co-operation with other institutions, too.
