OAK (Quercus spp.)

Seedling stands, Coppice stands, Coppice stands converted to high forest/evenaged, unevenaged, irregular stands with old grown standards/clear cuts with standards, shelterwood regeneration (in large areas—removal of 10% - 20% of trees/coppice stems, keep crown closure 0, 8) (rotation period: coppiced stands 25 years, seedling stands 80 - 120 years)

rarely round wood (sawn timber for floor parkets), mainly fuelwood, animal feeding (leaves/accorns), mushrrom production,

soil protection, water balance, wild life, biodiverity enhancement

overgrazing, oak decline, defoliating insects, roor-rot fungi, climate change

control grazing, in situ conservation (endemic species—Q. euboica, inter/intra population diversity, natural hybridization), maintain viable population sizes in remnant populations (e.g. Q. inhaburensis), enhance mixture (e.g. oak, fir, pine) to face climate change

control grazing, in situ conservation (inter/intra population diversity), maintain viable population sizes in remnant/old age populations, enhance mixture eto face climate change

MAPLE (Acer spp.)

Seedling stands/ evenaged, unevenaged stands/shelterwood in groups, rotation period 60 - 100 years (mostly out of management)

round wood (sawn timber)

soil protection, wild life protection, biodiversity enhancement,

overgrazing, illegal cuttings, climate change

Forest inventory/mapping, legal actions/measures, in situ conservation (e.g. threatened species/populations),

maintain genetic diversity (inter/intra population diversity, maintain viable population sizes in remnant populations) to face climate change

Conserve/enhancemixture different species—e.g. beech, oak), sanitary actions, maintain genetic diversity (inter/intra population diversity, maintain viable population sizes in isolated/remnant populations)

RIVERINE/WETLANDFORESTS (Platanus orientalis, Populus alba, P. nigra, Salix spp., Ulmus spp., Fraxinus angustifolia)

Seedling stands or coppiced stands /mainly natural regeneration(by seed or sprouts) (mostly out of management) (rotation period 50 - 100 years)

round wood (sawn timber), poles, plywood, wood boards, paper pulp, cellulose/fibers, energy wood, bio-compost, honey production, agroforestry use

soil protection, phyto- remediation, wild life protection, biodiversity enhancement, landscape enhancement

deforestation, illegal cuttings, insects (defoliators), pathogens (root-rot/wood rot fungi), water table changes, climate change

Forest inventory/mapping, legal actions/measures, in situ conservation (e.g. threatened species/populations),

maintain genetic diversity (inter/intra population diversity, maintain viable population sizes in remnant populations) to face climate change

Conserve/enhancemixture different species), sanitary actions, extend carbon storage, maintain genetic diversity (inter/intra population diversity, maintain viable population sizes in remnant populations)

PLANTATIONS (hybrid poplars, native poplars/willows, ash, paulownia, eucalypts)

replanting or coppicing/evenaged, unevenaged stands/rotation period 10 - 30 years

round wood (sawn timber), poles, plywood, wood boards, paper pulp, cellulose/fibers, energy wood, bio-compost, honey production, agroforestry use

soil protection, phyto- remediation, wild life protection, biodiversity enhancement, landscape enhancement

grazing, insects (defoliators, bark beetles, wood borers)pathogens (root-rot, rust fungi, wood rot fungi), climate change

control grazing (at least the first 10 years), ex situ conservation (e.g. selected genotypes/clones, threatened populations/provenances), enhance mixture (e.g. different provenances, different clones) to face climate change

enhance mixture (use different provenances/ clones), sanitary actions, extend carbon storage
