Adaptacija šumskih ekosistema na negativan uticaj klimatskih promena u Srbiji
Adaptation of forest ecosystems on negative climate change impacts in Serbia
Abstract: The environmental pollution causes many ecological problems, climate changes and global warming, with adverse effect on forest ecosystems in the whole world, and Serbia also. Global warming and the potential changes of temperature and humidity, point out to a very wide range of the effects, both on the forest system in general and on the individual trees. Since the effects of global warming can be so intense in some regions that they can cause the changes in the forest productivity in composition of the plant and animal species in them, the forest cover would become unsustainable. Such reactions to the climate change would lead to numerous consequences and adverse effects on the preservation of biodiversity and water integrity, environmental protection, protection of the natural areas from erosion, as well as on the commercial forestry, wood processing industry, tourism, recreation, etc. This paper analyzes a significance, problems and challenges in forest ecosystems in Serbia caused by climate change and the impacts of the climate change on the forests and forest management. In order to predict new changes and adaptability of the forest ecosystems, it is necessary to initiate scientific researches, modernize forest policies, and apply more adaptive forest management practices in Serbia.
Izvod: Zagađivanje životne sredine dovodi do brojnih ekoloških problema, klimatskih promena i globalnog zagrevanja, koji negativno utiču na šumske ekosisteme u celom svetu, pa i u Srbiji. Globalno zagrevanje i potencijalne promene temperature i vlažnosti ukazuju na vrlo širok spektar efekata kako na šumske ekosisteme u celini tako i na pojedinačna stabla. Efekti globalnog zagrevanja mogli bi da budu toliko jaki u pojedinim regionima da bi došlo do promena produktivnosti šuma i sastava biljnih i životinjskih zajednica u njima, pa održavanje šumskog pokrivača ne bi bilo moguće. Ovakve reakcije na promenu klimatskih prilika uslovile bi niz posledica i negativnih uticaja na očuvanje biodiverziteta i integriteta voda, zaštitu životne sredine, zaštitu prirodnih predela i zemljišta od erozije, zatim na komercijalno šumarstvo, drvnu industriju, turizam, rekreaciju i drugo. U radu će se analizirati značaj, problemi i izazovi sa kojima se suočavaju šumski ekosistemi u Srbiji usled klimatskih promena, kao i posledice uticaja promene klime na šume i gazdovanje šumama. U cilju predviđanja novonastalih promena i prilagođavanja šumskih ekosistema neophodno je započeti nova naučna istraživanja, inovirati šumarsku politiku i primenjivati adaptivnu praksu gazdovanja šumama u Srbiji.
