Functional Zoning of the Forests included in protected Natural Areas

Abstract

According to the Romanian forest management strategies, the forests included in natural protected areas are treated as forests having special protection functions, whose management regime is established according to functional criteria as well as functional category types to which the mentioned forests are belonging. It is necessary to adopt these criteria, stated by the current technical norms which enforce the regime of natural protected areas. As a result, there are proposed new functional categories, to lead, each natural protected area, to better management.
