Forestry requirements for forest management in Natura 2000
1.Tolerance of native plant species;
Transformation of previously established cultures
Plantation cuttings - choosing trees of the future
Renewable felling – consistent with the natural dynamics of the species.
2. Prohibition of afforestation with foreign species and/or origins, as well as afforestation of the natural open spaces in the habitat, with the exception of flood and erosion protection measures;
Use of local species and origins
Use of group schemes
Use of pioneer species
3. In the event of edroploschni natural disturbances, it is recommended not to reforest part of the affected area, but to leave it to the natural succession;
Analysis of potential risks of erosion and opportunities for natural regeneration
Waiting period – 7 years,
Formation of "forewood"
4. Limiting the application of silvicultural systems for low-stemmed and for same age forest management;
Prohibition of bare cuts,
Implementation of long-term regeneration felling,
Application of selective management.
5. Preservation of the tree species and origins characteristic of the habitat during forestry activities;
6. Transformation of forestry activities from edroploschni to small area;
Group-gradual cuts,
Irregular-gradual cuts,
Optional cuttings
7. Keeping dead wood up to 10 m3 per hectare;
MD inventory methodology,
Sufficient quantities
8. Preservation of trees with hollows, single and groups of old trees;
Possible compensations
9. Application of natural technologies in carrying out forestry activities;
Eco-friendly technologies/carrying machines,
Protection of forest infrastructure during removal
Use of biodegradable oils
10. Preserving the integrity of the landscape when planning forest roads and the accompanying forestry activity infrastructure;
Determining the optimal infrastructure density
Conservation of buffer zones
11. Maintaining zones around permanent watercourses with a width of not less than 15 meters, in which logging is not carried out or is carried out with an intensity not greater than 5 % from the plantation stock.
