AB  - Old-growth forests play an important role in getting an insight into processes that occur in nature, and consequently in the implementation of those insights through close-to-nature forest management. A segment of familiarity with the above processes is knowledge of the structural and production characteristics of the investigated old-growth forests. The research described in this paper was conducted in beech forests, in a total of 13 sample plots distributed in several mountainous regions of Serbia. Initially, the shape of diameter and height curves was used for the structural definition of the investigated forests, and the results were tested on the basis of the ages of individual trees. In addition, forest productivity was estimated on the basis of the achieved volume, current volume increment and increment intensity. All the investigated stands, except one, were initially defined as even-aged stands. However, due to a high variability in the individual ages of trees in most of the stands, their structure was defined as covert uneven-aged. All the stands but one, which is at the phase of stand development and has a diameter structure similar to selection structure, are in the optimum phase. It is reflected in accumulated volume, slowed dynamics and consequently lower current increment and increment intensity. Although particular site conditions (high mountainous and sub-alpine vegetation belt) more or less differ from the optimum state, the achieved volume indicates high productivity of the investigated beech forests. Finally, the knowledge of structural and production characteristics of old-growth beech forests is an important starting point for defining the goals of forest management on a regular basis, as well as for the selection of the best measures for the achievement of these goals.

AB  - The subject of this research are mixed forests of spruce and fir in the area of NP Kopaonik, which belong to the community of spruce and fir - Abieti-Piceetum abietis Mišić et Popović, 1978. The basis for the study of the structural development and production potential of these forests are data from 12 sample plots, with the average size of 0.18 ha. In terms of coenoecological affiliation all the sample plots belong to the group of ecological units - forests of spruce and fir (Abieti-Piceetum abietis, Mišić et Popović, 1978) on acid brown and brown podzolic soils, which are differentiated into 5 ecological units: Abieti-Piceetum abietis oxalidetosum on brown podzolic soil, Abieti-Piceetum abietis oxalidetosum on acid brown soil, Abieti-Piceetum abietis vaccinietosum on brown podzolic soil, Abieti-Piceetum abietis typicum on brown podzolic soil and Abieti-Piceetum abietis Dr.ymetosum on brown pozolic soil. In structural terms, these forests are characterized by very diverse structural forms, ranging from the structure of even-aged stands to typical multi-storey, unevenaged-aged stands. The form of cumulative curves of tree distribution is in most cases determined by spruce as the dominant species. At the same time, thin and medium-thick trees dominate, while the presence of stems with large dimensions is minimal. The average volume of these forestse is 777 m3·ha-1, with a mixture ratio of 0.7: 0.3 in favor of spruce. The average value of the current volume increment is 14 m3·ha-1, with a 68% share of spruce and 32% of fir. The percentage of increment ranges from 1.6% to 2.5% in all sample plots and is somewhat higher for fir. The site potential, stand characteristics and relations among the tree species have resulted in structural complexity, high productivity and ecological stability of these forests. Therefore, future forest management should avoid radical measures and procedures that would violate the established relationships and dynamic processes.

AB  - The growth characteristics of silver fir are of high importance for selection forest management, and for the current aims laid out in Serbia's forest management focused on increasing the share of silver firs in Serbia's growing stock. With the objective of increasing the understanding of the growth characteristics of silver fir, the growth of two silver fir trees felled during forest site production research on Mt. Goc, located in Central Serbia, have been analyzed. Both trees showed significant differences in their growth dynamics over long periods as results of micro-site and micro-stand effects (primarily ambient light regime). The common growth characteristic of the two trees, a 450-year-old tree as the main study object (labeled Tree A) and a 270-year-old Tree B is a long stagnation stage. For Tree A the latent phase, with small interruptions, lasted 410 years; one phase lasted 330 years in continuity, which is the longest period of silver fir stagnation recorded in Europe. Tree B showed a long-lasting stagnation stage that lasted 170 years. The long stagnation stage of Tree A, characterized by an average diameter increment of 1.4 mm/year (average growth ring width of 0.7 mm) and an average height increment of 0.08 m/year, shows the extraordinary silver fir capacity for physiological survival in complete shade. This study adds to the existing knowledge of the shade tolerance of the silver fir. Therefore, the silver fir belongs to the group of extremely shade-tolerant tree species. This characteristic makes silver fir an irreplaceable tree species in the selection forest structure. It offers a wide range of silvicultural flexibility in the management of these forests, and is applicable to silver fir selection Serbia's forests.
