M. OrSanić: POŠUMLJAVANJA, SADAŠNJE STANJE I PERPEKTIVL U GLOBALNOM RAZVOJU Šumarski list - SUPLHMENT (3003), 35-40
SUMMARY: The paper presents data on global trends in the areas of
newly-established forest cultures, trends in the choice of species and their
purpose, as well as some comparisons with afforestation trends in Croatia. It
may be noted that on the global level, more forests are cut down than new
ones established. The largest areas of newly-raised forest cultures are in Asia,
the reasons for this being cheap labour force in the first place and high
demand for wood. Cultures are raised primarily as purpose forests; in other
words, management goals are determined beforehand. In Croatia, very few
areas have been afforested in recent years despite the fact that tens of thousands
of littoral forests are burnt down every year. Heath and fern-covered
soils of exceptional quality, amounting to over one hundred thousand
hectares, are not being afforested at all. There is no programme on the state
level dealing with abandoned agricultural land and some other lands that are
currently uncultivated and left to natural succession.


Key words: forest cultures, afforestation, new species, management
goal, rotation.
