Abstract
Natural forest regeneration is it still possible? How do biotic and abiotic factors affect the structure and vitality of forests? Is the correlation between the factors important? These are the questions I asked myself and I will try to answer them in this paper.These problems should be viewed from two perspectives of man and nature. For decades, man has been trying to restore the most natural structure of forests, appropriate care may contribute to this . On the other hand, it was human activity that led to the degradation of the present forest ecosystems, for example, highly developed industry and its waste are one of the causes of intense air pollution that lead to climate change. The other side of the coin is the biotic and abiotic factors that shape forests. Their activity destroys and at the same time creates the basis for the development of the next generation - (natural hazard, insect outbreak). There is a high correlation between the occurrence of individual factors. The emergence of indirect and direct correlations between the factors will be considered in terms of the behavior of two tree species occurring in Europe- deciduous :Fagus Sylvatica, coniferous :Picea Abies. The area considered for the analysis is a mountain area in three different mountain ranges, the Carpathians, the Alps and the Sudetes. an important factor in the analysis will be the comparison of forests growing at about the same altitude, the assumed discrepancy is between 800 and 1200 m above sea level.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
