| Summary: | During the last several years, a significant decline of different forests in
Serbia was recorded. The decline is more widespread in conifer stands, but
occurence of decline was recorded in broadleaved forest stands as well. These
declines are the result of abiotic, biotic and anthropogenic factors.
According to the studies performed so far in Serbia, the predisposing factor
were droughts during the 2012 and 2013 vegetation periods that caused
physiological weakness of the trees. Among the biotic factors, the most
important are fungi (mainly root rot, but rot fungi, and needle diseases) and
insects (bark beetles in conifer species) and defoliators in broadleaved
species). [Projekat Ministarstva nauke Republike Srbije, br. TR 37008 i br.
