Variabilitatea structurala a padurii naturale. Studiu de caz: Calimani

The paper presents the importance of research which characterizes the natural forest structure for the forest management. The lessons learned in these particular forest ecosystems can be integrated by the forest management objectives, in order to increase the sustainability of this type of resources. The project NATFORMAN was focused on the structure of the natural forest, thus research methodologies and modern technology (such as Field-Map) investigation and determination were used in order to record information on forest structural parameters. The results obtained refer to these structural parameters and to the possibility of transferring such information in practice, in order to achieve forest sustainable management.
