2020.03.02
The most important part of the project "Protectin of the English oak in the crossborder area", the acronym "Oak protection" is an ecological study. The 146 pages of text, tables, figures and diagrams scientifically deal with the state of forest and aquatic ecosystems of the Koska forestry with recommendations for management adaptation in climate changes. The study was created by experts from contracted companys Perceptives and Biota with the help of experts from the Faculty of Forestry, University of Zagreb and the employees of the Forest Administation Branch Našice.
For the purpose of the study, fieldwork was carried out, which included investigating the structure of stands on the test plots, determining the growth of pedunculate oaks, analyzing the features of forest soils, and field research on the status of aquatic ecosystems. Data on forest stands and performed forest work were taken from the Croatian Forests database, and data on LiDAR imaging were processed, which was performed twice for the study area: in April 2018 and in April 2019.

Presentation of project results - Invasive plant control in habitats of Ormánság
2019.09.10
The rapid spread of invasive species is one of the most significant factors that threaten our biodiversity. Tis phenomenon is becoming more and more well-known to the present day: we see new plant and animal species appearing in the landscape that becoming dominant within a few years.
Nowadays, invasion biology has become a separate discipline that is constantly evolving. We have a constantly expanding knowledge for the spread, effects and control of invasive species. However, this knowledge is far from complete, and it is likely that it will never be due to the new, constantly appearing alien species. Anyway, we must strive to make the research, monitoring and surveillance activities as complete and effective as possible, which efforts are also supported by the European Union.
Among others, Mecsekerdő Forestry and Našice Forestry wanted to participate actively in the achievement of these latter objectives by establishing international cooperation with Oak Protection, supported by the European Union.
In our publication, we report on the...
