Sažetak
Coppices in the area of FA Lika are similar to majority of European coppices in respect to drivers forming them. Nevertheless, management of Lika coppices stand out in Croatian forestry by its complexity, which arises from entangled historical, socio-economic and exceptional bio-ecological contex. Due to their area, significance and related management challenges issues of Lika coppices is often regarded as one of the most complex issue of Croatian forestry. Variety of site conditions determined by karst geological formations and specific climate conditions, often with distinct limitations, variety of forest communities, depopulation and the lack of manpower, poverty and underdevelopment of the region together with other related complexities create demanding circumstances for management of Lika coppices. Furthermore, Lika region is expected to be mostly affected by changing climate out of all continental areas of the country. Thus, during the year 2020 joint scientific and expert efforts started between forest practitioners and researchers as a first step to meet these complex, but also newly emerging challenges. Activities are initiated under the project funded by Croatian Forests Ltd. and led by Croatian Forest Research Institute under the title “Issues of coppice management in FA Gospić”. Paper describes initiated expert and scientific activities specifically aiming at describing state of-the-art of Lika coppices, possibilities of their natural regeneration, priorities for coppice conversion and enhancement of coppice managent and coppice condition in general. The main activities include insight into available data on coppices, creation of database, questionnaires on the forest office level, establishment of comparative trial plots, data analisys (Stat. soft., descriptive statistics, repeated measures ANOVA), SWAT analisys, possibilities of the use of satellite images, phytocoenological measurements. To enhance management of Lika coppices is long lasting process, but these activities present first step in that direction with preliminary experrt and scientific guidelines
