Forest composition
Natural conditions and eco–system diversity of Serbia allow
for a wide range of tree species and forests with broadleaves
and mixed broadleaves stands (Quercetum frainneto–cerris).
Broadleaves dominate the forest in Serbia with 86.4% and
the remaining part consists of all kinds of conifers. Mixed
broadleaved and conifers stand with approximately 6.8%
and 3%, respectively. Main tree species of the natural
forests are beech (Fagus moesiaca), followed by oak
(Quercus ssp), and other broadleaves. Natural stand of
conifers are confined to the south and southeastern part of
the country, with main tree species being Pinus nigra, Pinus
silvestris, Picea abies and Abies alba.
Besides natural growth, Serbia pays great attention to
reforestation. Plantations are spread throughout Serbia and
are usually monospecific stands where species depend on the
characteristics of landscape and eco–system. The plantations
located in Central Serbia predominately grow coniferous species,
especially pines (mainly Pinus nigra) and spruce (Picea abies)
and cover two–thirds of all land dedicated for plantations.
Only a third of all plantations are dedicated to growing
broadleaves. Broadleaved plantations are located in northern
parts of Serbia. The flat and fertile soil of Vojvodina, crisscrossed
by rivers, creates the perfect environment for poplar (Euro
American black poplar clone) growth. Approximately 95%
of all plantations found here are poplars. Other species
grown are oak and other hardwood species.
