Sažetak
Forest reproductive material represents basis for all activities related to forest establishment (afforestation of available forest areas and abandoned agricultural land, burned areas, landfills, queries, protective belts and help to natural regeneration). Increase of negative influences on natural ecosystems together with increase of public needs for all functions which forests provide open the space for more intensive nursery production in the future. This is the reason why afforestation in the future should have more pronounced significance in the Croatian economy if we take into the account the fact that besides utilization of forest products, ecological and other services forests also provide economical benefits in the frame of signed EU agreements. Croatian Forest Research Institute was established during 1960-s with the aim of forest culture establishment with different purposes and was the leading institution in production of forest reproduction material. From the 1992 Institute continually conducts expert supervision of nursery production which points to real needs not only in artificially established forest cultures but in natural stands as well. Five year monitoring data according to nurseries, tree species and cultivation methods fulfilled with overview on production trends from the beginning of expert supervision (from 1992) highlight the negative production trend. Estimations of future production and all available areas for forest production will be harmonized with Strategy of rural development 2014-2020. Besides autochthonous tree species special overview on past and present production of pioneer species will be presented. Those species are suitable for establishment of cultures for energy purposes (e. g. willows, poplars, indigo bush). Rare and endangered tree species have special place in the scope of forest biodiversity. Guidelines for nursery production development will contribute not only to forestry but to other sectors as well.
