Abstract
А classification according to the level of ecosystem fit for plantations of Scots pine in south-western Bulgaria is proposed in this study. For this purpose, two indices which characterize the relief and soil conditions are used. The assessment of climatic conditions is made using the De Martonne index. The plantations are classified into four groups and two subgroups. The predominant part (55.8%) of the studied plantations grows in highly vulnerable to drought zone, while 35.5% are in the absence of ecosystem fit. This way of classification of the Scots pine plantations will allow to apply differentiated management regimes. In the present conditions of climate change, this classification can be used in estimation of the appropriate habitats for the afforestation by establishing Scots pine plantations in the future. Keywords: adaptive management, climate change, aridity index, forest stands classification
期刊介绍：
The journal welcomes the original articles as well as short reports, review papers on forestry and forest science throughout the Baltic Sea region and elsewhere in the area of boreal and temperate forests. The Baltic Sea region is rather unique through its intrinsic environment and distinguished geographical and social conditions. A temperate climate, transitional and continental, has influenced formation of the mixed coniferous and deciduous stands of high productivity and biological diversity. The forest science has been affected by the ideas from both the East and West.
In 1995, Forest Research Institutes and Universities from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania
joined their efforts to publish BALTIC FORESTRY.
