Abstract

The afforestation of halomorphic soils in Vojvodina is a special problem considering the very low productivity, a consequence of a series of unfavourable properties of this site type. Low productivity determines the potential, level and character of this site type utilisation in forestry. The afforestation on this site type is basically a spatial infrasructural investment in the sense of improving the growing stock structure and the increase of the total biological potential.
The establishment of forest plantations aimed at obtaining timber is not economically justified. The reasons for this are the low productivity, the characteristic mosaic pattern, and, through this, the inadequacy of using these sites forest exploitation. Accordingly, this site type should mainly have ecological functions.
