Opis (eng)

"The research was carried out in area of East Serbia, on Mt. Crni Vrh, in Crni VrhKupinovo forest management unit, section 17/b, on Moesian beech trees (Fagus sylvatica subsp. moesiaca), which are in even-aged stand of beech, over 60 years old. The research was conducted over seven years after the severe ice-break of 2014. The aim was to observe tree responses to a major natural disaster over an extended period, expressed as the percentage of defoliation and occurrence of diseases and pests. The results show that the defoliation tripled in the first growing season and was followed by a gradual decrease in the following years. The period of four or five years after the ice-break was marked by the outbreak of bark beetles and the spread of harmful diseases. In the sixth and seven years after the ice-break, defoliation decreased again, and the stand started its gradual recovery, even though the defoliation in the seventh growing season was twice as high as before the natural disaster, with the persistent presence of numerous diseases and pests. Given the fact that beech is the most common tree species in Serbia, its protection requires several different approaches and the highest degree of urgency."
