for beech is of higher importance, with respect to water lower capacity of more flat root system of spruce, to use
run-off, than the different ways of forest management. the precipitation water infiltrated to deeper horizons,
Evapotranspiration was lowered, most probably due to which resulted in increased minimal run-off.


CONCLUSION AND PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS


Natural retention capacity of forests is limited. Under
the most intensive precipitation even natural forest
stand is not capable to prevent flooding. In forest management
it is recommended to create suitable species
composition and balanced age composition. In forest
regeneration it is important to stabilize the new cultures
in time, and to preserve suitable qualities of the forest
soil of high infiltration capacity. In forest tending
mainly the resistance of the young stands against damage
by biotic and a biotic agents is to be supported, to
prevent their disturbing and preserve their capacity of
positive impact on hydrological regime. Well-planned
forest roads and technological lines have to respect sa


ve run-off of cumulated precipitation water of these
horizontal objects. Also torrent control, done in proper,
nature close way, is of importance. The aim is to prevent
erosion, which is than worsening the impact of
flood wave in the lower parts of the water run. Streamside
stands have to be well kept, and the species of
strong root system, fixing the riverbanks and resistant
in culmination flows are to be supported.


It is clear that such a sensitive approach can be more
easily ensured in the small-extent, nature close forest
management. From the viewpoint of other important forest
functions such management has many other advantages,
mainly in the spring area of mountain water runs.
