Forest regeneration after natural disasters and Slovenia Forest Service

S podnebnimi spremembami postajajo ujme v gozdovih nekaj vse bolj vsakdanjega. V takih situacijah se povečajo pričakovanja vseh deležnikov do Zavoda za gozdove Slovenijepo eni strani so upravičena, po drugi pa so pogosto nerealna. Glede na lastniško strukturo gozdov je uspeh sanacije dejansko v veliki meri odvisen od javne gozdarske službe, pri čemer se delovanje slednje v takih situacijah stežka obdrži le v okviru nalog, ki ji jih določa zakon o gozdovih. Po obsežnih ujmah je sanacija gozdov obsežna in kompleksna naloga, ki se jo je treba lotiti sistematično, z jasnim upoštevanjem prioritet in sledenjem ciljem. Pričakovanja javnosti, lastnikov gozdov, medijev in politike so ob pričakovanih zapletih pogosto tista ovira javni gozdarski službi, ki včasih zbuja dvome o pravilnosti postavljenih ciljev znotraj te službe, zlasti pa zunaj nje. Naravne katastrofe v gozdovih pomenijo škodo za marsikoga, od lastnikov naprej, pomenijo pa tudi spekter novih priložnosti, med drugim tudi za razmislek o spremembah pri gospodarjenju z gozdovi oziroma gozdnimi ekosistemi. Obnova gozdov vsebuje tudi vprašanja o genetskem materialu, drevesnih vrstah sadik, negi in še mnogočem, nenazadnje tudi o usklajenosti živalske komponente z rastlinsko, kar lahko onemogoči uspešno obnovo gozdov. Vsekakor so sanacije gozdov po ujmah tudi preizkusni kamen za ustreznost delovanja javne gozdarske službe.Along with climatic changes, natural disasters in forests are becoming ever more common. In such conditions, expectations by all stakeholders from the public forestry service have increasedon one hand, they are legitimate, but on the other hand they are often unrealistic. With regard to the ownership structure of forests, salvation success to a great extent actually depends on the public forestry service, whereby its activities in such situations can hardly be kept only within the tasks, determined by the Forest Act. After large disasters, forest salvation is an extensive and complex task, which should be addressed systematically, clearly considering priorities and following goals. Expectations by the public, forest owners, the media, and politics are, in addition to the expected complications, the very obstacle for the forestry service that sometimes arouses doubt about the correctness of the set goals both within this service as outside of it. Natural disasters in forests represent damage to many a person, from the owners on, but they also represent a spectrum of new opportunitiesamong them is also a consideration about changes in forest management or, respectively, forest ecosystems. Forest renovation also comprises questions about genetic material, tree species of the seedlings, cultivation, and, not at last, also about harmonization of fauna and flora components, which can block a successful forest regeneration. Forest salvations after natural disasters are certainly also a touchstone for the adequacy of public forestry service activities
