o:6898 Innovative approach to forest management to mitigate the impacts of climate extremes in forest ecosystems in Serbia en The increase in annual maximum and minimum temperatures, the amount and distribution of precipitation during the growing season, the frequency of extreme weather events (drought, floods, superstorms, ice breaks, snow breaks) and other climate phenomena have a variety of negative impacts on forest ecosystems in Serbia. Most projections of future climate changes scenarios (SRES - Special Report on Emissions Scenarios, IPCC, 2000, 2001, 2007, 2014, 2019, 2023, Climate Change 2022: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability) indicates to temperature and precipitation significant changes, as well as increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, that will caused many ecological problems and affected on sustainable development across the world. Results of research on climate parameters in Serbia for the period 1972-2022, normalized deviations and linear trends of air temperature and precipitation amount indicate an increased risk of drying out forest crops and natural forests on larger areas. Unfavorable climatic conditions caused by a further increase in temperatures, occurrences of drought and extreme amounts of precipitation in a short period, can leave long-term consequences on the distribution, function and production of forest ecosystems. The main challenge in the management of forests is the development of innovative adaptation measures to reduce the vulnerability of forests and the consequences due to possible different scenarios of climate change. In order to reduce the vulnerability of forests and the possible consequences of different climate change scenarios and to preserve and protect forest ecosystems, an innovative approach to forest management is needed, applying the principle of integral environmental protection. By afforesting suitable species that are more resistant to climate change, improving the condition of forests and applying appropriate adaptive forest management, it is possible to significantly mitigate the negative effects of climate change. extreme weather events, climate changes scenarios, adaptible forest management, afforestation, Serbia 1552100 978-86-900893-6-9 91552100 COBISS.SR-ID 155686153 2025-01-15T09:28:34.405Z 44 yes 46 Ljiljana Brašanac-Bosanac 0000-0002-3324-674x 46 Tatjana Ćirković-Mitrović 0000-0003-2620-1751 46 Nevena Čule 0000-0002-1846-989X 46 Goran Češljar 0000-0003-0438-1050 46 Branka Pavlović 0000-0002-7507-2231 application/pdf 1235934 https://unilib.phaidrabg.rs/o:6898 no yes 1 70 92000004 2024 71A07 International Conference MilankoviC's theory of climate changes- hundred years afterwards, Belgrade, 4-5.11.2024. 20 Association Milutin Milankovic, Belgrade 2024 2024
