The scope of scientific research encompasses the following investigations: — Heredity and breeding of particular traits in forest trees. -— Interspecific hybridization and the problem of incompatibility of Austrian and scdtch pine. — Study of seed husbandry and clonal seed orchards. — Breeding of the fast-growing deciduous species. — Clonal forestry. — Specialized production of biomass in short rotations. — Influence of alder-fixed nitrogen on the growth of clones in willow. Student´s needs are met by numerous textbooks, mimeographed notes and professional publications. Prof. Dr. Slavko Matić The current Situation, and History of Development, in Croatian Forestry Practice and Science Forestry, and the cultivation of forests in Croatia, has a long rich tradition. The science of forestry and cultivation of forests in Croatia, as well as in central Europe, originated two centuries ago from fear that because of uncontrolled usage, cultivated forests — which have, and still, provided raw material — would disappear. As a result of this, at the initiation of domestic foresters, the Forestry Society was founded in 1846, and subsequently in 1860 the Forestry School in Križevci — from which the Faculty of Forestry in Zagreb evolved. Each of these institutions was the first founded in this part of Europe, and played a very important role protecting forests in this area against careless exploitation and colonial felling. An important date in the development of the cultivation of forestry in Croatia was 1877. This was when the publication of the specialist magazine »Šumarski List« (Forestry Journal) began, and went on being published for 110 years. Contributions on science and practice are made by well-known forestry experts. The Faculty of Forestry in Zagreb has had a very strong influence on the development of forest cultivation. Its first deacon and chairman. A Petraeić, gave professors of cultivation encouragement in establishing and developing the Zagreb School of Forest Cultivation. The natural elements, rejuoVenation, observation of complex eco-system elements and processes in the forest are the fundamental base of scientific thought in this school. Followers of A. Petračića and other members of the forest cultivation fellowship, M Anić, I Dekanić, S Matić, B Prpie, D Rauš, and others, were followed by an established school of throught which developed in harmony with the times in which they found themselves. The field of cultivating forests included forest seeding, seedling production, planting, protection and restoration of forestry culture, and work on rejuvenation and care of natural elements. |
