AB  - Water is one of the key ecological factors that has a great impact to development and productivity of lowland species such as Quercus robur. This paper deals with water regime influence to site conditions of these species and how actually changeable soil moisture affects Q. robur. Studied area includes a protective embankment built on the river bank in order to eliminate flooding effect, which means that all needs for water these associations provide from rainfalls and groundwater. Water regime was monitored during two critical years (extremely dry and extremely wet) on four soil types - Planosol, Fluvisol and Gleysol that belong to hydromorphic (three experimental plots) and Chernozem which belongs to automorphic soils (three experimental plots), respectively. It was studied the distribution of rainfalls and groundwater during the growing seasons and how it affects total and available water amount in the soil. The main focus should be given to available water, because it is located in capillary pores and plants can utilize it. Bearing in mind rainfalls makes just 15-20% of the total water amount in the soil it is much more significant to evaluate its proportion in available water. Based on obtained results, we can deduce that much more suitable site conditions for Q. robur are present on hydromorphic soils due to much greater proportion of groundwater.

AB  - From productive and ecological point of view, Quercus robur L. is an extremely important species and the investigation its anatomical properties is very significant in terms of its technical and technological utilization. The paper deals with the analysis of the wood fiber characteristics (fiber length, fiber lumen width, double -cell wall thickness, Runkel ratio) of mature pedunculate oak trees in the non -flooded (Management Unit "Viniena-& Zcaron;eravinac-Puk") and flooded area (Management Unit "GVO 83 b"). One of the aims of the study is to determine the wood fiber quality and the possibility of use in paper and pulp production. When the mean values of the analysed anatomical characteristics are compared, the results show slightly higher values in the non -flooded area, except for the Runkel ratio. The radial pattern of the investigated characteristics depending on the age shows growth in the non -flooded area, while the same tendency in the flooded area was found the fiber length only. It was recorded that fiber lumen width, double -cell wall thickness and Runkel ratio decreased in the final annual rings. The wood fiber quality for use in pulp and paper production is the greatest in the juvenile zone, unlike sapwood zone, regardless of the site conditions.

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.

AB  - U situacijama kada je potrebno razmotriti različite opcije prilikom donošenja odluka u šumarstvu (i generalno), pri čemu na izbor utiču teško uporedivi kriterijumi i brojni međusobno suprotstavljeni interesi, mogu se primeniti metode višekriterijumskog odlučivanja. Jedan od metoda koji pripada ovoj oblasti, a primenjuje se i u šumarstvu, jeste matematičko programiranje (posebno linearno programiranje). Linearno programiranje ima dugu tradiciju primene u američkom i evropskom šumarstvu, dok je u šumarstvu Srbije još uvek teorijska, a pogotovo praktična nepoznanica.

Maksimalan prinos dobijen po ovoj metodologiji manji je za 4.040 m3 od teorijski mogućeg prinosa koji bi se dobio kada bi svi odseci bili posečeni na kraju drugog polurazdoblja, odnosno veći je za 8.430 m3 od prinosa koji bi se dobio sečom odseka na početku uređajnog perioda. Dobijeni rezultati i strana iskustva u ovoj oblasti nedvosmisleno ukazuju na to da se linearno programiranje može uspešno koristiti i za rešavanje i znatno kompleksnijih problema (u odnosu na prezentovan u ovom radu) u našoj šumarskoj praksi (višedimenzionalno planiranje sa nizom ograničenja).
AB  - In situations where it is necessary to consider a variety of options when making decisions in forestry (and in general), with the choice influenced by hardly comparable criteria and a number of conflicting interests, a possible solution is to use multiple criteria methods. One of these methods, which can be applied in forestry, is mathematical programming (in particular, linear programming). Linear programming has a long tradition of being used in the U.S. and European forestry, whereas in the forestry of Serbia it still represents a theoretically and practically unknown tool. Therefore, in this paper we analyze the possibility of applying the methods of linear programming in developing a plan of regeneration cutting in the poplar plantations of FMU 'Topolik' managed by PE 'Vojvodinašume.' Using the aimed function (linear programming) and the corresponding software package the maximum yield that can be achieved by cutting the plantation was obtained. The planned management period was from 2012 to 2021 and its volume was 155 852 m3. The preset condition that the yield in half-periods remains equal was fulfilled (half-period I 77,925 m3, half-period II 77,927 m3). The maximum yield obtained with this methodology was by 4,040 m3 lower than the theoretically possible yield that would be obtained if all stands were cut down at the end of the second half-period, i.e. higher by 8,430 m3 than the yield that would be obtained if cutting of the stands were performed at the start of the management period. The results obtained and foreign experience in this area clearly indicate that linear programming can successfully be used to solve this problem and even more complex problems (than the one presented in this paper) in our local forest practice (multidimensional planning with a series of constraints).

AB  - In accordance with the political and socio-economic changes in Serbia during the transition period, which started in 2000, the forestry sector was reformed. The privatization of certain activities within forestry resulted in the establishment of a significant number of private forest-based enterprises. Although a large number of SMEs perform their activities in the Timok forest area, still, there is no interest organization of entrepreneurs in forestry in this region. This paper aims to analyze the external and internal factors which have influence on a possible establishment of a cluster organisation in the Timok forest area. The external factors are forest resources in the studied area, policy framework and support measures. The internal factors are the special characteristics of small-scale forest-based enterprises, the entrepreneurs' knowledge about the concept of clusters and the attitudes of entrepreneurs and decision-makers toward the possibility of cluster establishment. The paper uses the results of a research project on the development of small scale forest-based enterprises and cluster establishment in the Timok forest area. The research was conducted in Eastern Serbia in 2009 and 2010, 138 entrepreneurs were surveyed and 23 decision makers were interviewed. The survey shows that the entrepreneurs have little knowledge about that concept but support the idea of clustering. It can be concluded that the most important measure to support a possible cluster would be the provision of information among the entrepreneurs in the region.

abstract = "In accordance with the political and socio-economic changes in Serbia during the transition period, which started in 2000, the forestry sector was reformed. The privatization of certain activities within forestry resulted in the establishment of a significant number of private forest-based enterprises. Although a large number of SMEs perform their activities in the Timok forest area, still, there is no interest organization of entrepreneurs in forestry in this region. This paper aims to analyze the external and internal factors which have influence on a possible establishment of a cluster organisation in the Timok forest area. The external factors are forest resources in the studied area, policy framework and support measures. The internal factors are the special characteristics of small-scale forest-based enterprises, the entrepreneurs' knowledge about the concept of clusters and the attitudes of entrepreneurs and decision-makers toward the possibility of cluster establishment. The paper uses the results of a research project on the development of small scale forest-based enterprises and cluster establishment in the Timok forest area. The research was conducted in Eastern Serbia in 2009 and 2010, 138 entrepreneurs were surveyed and 23 decision makers were interviewed. The survey shows that the entrepreneurs have little knowledge about that concept but support the idea of clustering. It can be concluded that the most important measure to support a possible cluster would be the provision of information among the entrepreneurs in the region.",
