The paper analyzes the impact of pioneer forest vegetation (pines) on a degraded site afforested seventy years ago. In the meantime, research activities were undertaken in 1977 and 1991. Sample plots were established in pine cultures, while control plots intended for pedological research were established outside the stand. Measurements included phytocoenological research, stand structure research and previous pedological research. The condition of seedlings and young growth representing the return to climatozonal vegetation was monitored. Research was conducted in the transitional area of the sub-Mediterranean and eu-Mediterranean vegetation zone. This is the Musapstan area within the forest office of Zadar. According to our research, the regeneration process of climatozonal deciduous vegetation is slow. Among other factors, this is attributed to the unfavourable structure of the stand for regeneration. The productive capacity of pine cultures is satisfactory, so they simultaneously fulfill their protective role in the climate of the Mediterranean karst area. The absence of silvicultural treatments is becoming an important factor in the context of increased danger of forest fires. In case of a fire, the already slow succession processes would be additionally aggravated. |
