Abstract

In order to make conclusions related to the selection of the most appropriate improvement measures, it is necessary to define the condition of forests through monitoring their health state. ICP for Forests Monitoring deals with human factors (mainly air pollution) and biotic factors that impair vitality and hinder the development of forest ecosystems in Europe and Serbia. Since broadleaved forests experience stronger attacks of plant diseases and pests, they have more severe defoliation. Beech is the most common broadleaved species at the ICP sample plots in Serbia. It is followed by oak species - sessile oak, Turkey oak and Hungarian oak. The largest number of insect species develop on the assimilation organs of forest trees. The paper presents the most common species of defoliators detected at SP in Serbia in 2021.
