o:6543 "SILVICULTURE IN THE FUNCTION OF SUSTAINABLE FOREST MANAGEMENT - CASE STUDY OF SЕ „SRBIJAŠUME“" en Silviculture implies forest cultivation procedures in stands with the task of fulfilling the goals of forest management. Silviculture is the basic activity of SE "Srbijašumе", which includes the procedure of professional and planned implementation of auxiliary measures, restoration, care, and establishment of new forests, which will optimally and permanently fulfill economic and general forest functions. The long-term strategic goals of SE "Srbijašume" in the field of silviculture are: improving the condition of existing forests and increasing the area under forest. Active forest management has its own requirements, which can only be met if, among other things, adequate planning and implementation of cultivation measures are ensured. The paper will show the structure of planning and execution of types of silviculture works on the example of SE "Srbijašume" in the past period, both in state and private forests. SE "Srbijašume" plans and carries out silviculture works in state forests on an area of 775,474 ha, but also performs professional - advisory work related to silviculture in the private owner's forests on an area of 1,222,624 ha, which includes about 3.4 million cadastral plots and about 1,000,000 owners. The paper will assess whether the level of planning (at the strategic and operational level) of silviculture works represents a sufficiently secure framework to ensure sustainable forest management in Serbia. The paper's second goal is to perform an analysis (trend of growth, decline) on the extent of planning and execution of works on silviculture in the observed periods, but also an analysis of these phenomena in relation to ownership. The paper will give certain recommendations on how to improve the current situation in the field of silviculture in relation to planning, execution, and their impact on forest management for the conditions of Serbia through the example of SE "Srbijašume". silviculture, sustainable forest management, SE "Srbijašume". 1552100 978-99976-816-8-3 1552102 https://agrosym.ues.rs.ba/article/showpdf/BOOK_OF_PROCEEDINGS_2024_FINAL.pdf 91552100 COBISS.RS-ID 141807105 2024-12-12T13:40:08.975Z 44 yes 46 Zvonimir Baković 0000-0002-4287-2355 46 Vladimir Vasić 0000-0002-0637-2599 46 Branko Kanjevac 0000-0002-5940-3600 46 Snežana Stajić 0000-0001-9023-3542 application/pdf 603938 https://unilib.phaidrabg.rs/o:6543 no yes 1 70 92000004 2024 71A07 Book of Proceedings - XV International Scientific Agriculture Symposium “AGROSYM 2024” 1518 1524 Faculty of Agriculture, University of East Sarajevo, Republic of Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina 2024
