Sustaimable management of forest ecosystems |
Ecology has to be the basis of all activities. Ecosystems should be managed as an integrated system and the management should aim at:
- soil protection by continuous forest cover
- conservation of diversity in all levels
- maintenance ecosystems structure and functions
- help nutrient cycling and flow energy
- enhance the ecological stability of the whole region
- promote natural regeneration of ecosystems
- low artificial input on ecosystem energy
- avoiding heavy human activities (clearcuttings etc.)
