Abstract
The paper presents the examination of the health condition of beech stands from the aspect of mechanical and abiotic damage on trees. The research was conducted in Forest Management Office Kucevo, in a hillside beech forest Fagetum moesiacae submontanum of generative origin. The research included 505 trees on 28 sample plots. A strong correlation was found between the appearance of fungi and the presence of injuries - 51.88%, as well as between the presence of fungi and abiotic damage - 47.96%. It was determined that the health condition of high beech forest heavily depended on careful and proper manipulation during logging, while every injury sustained by standing beech trees during felling opened an access point to dangerous microorganisms.
