Problematyka stabilności ekosystemowej w rozwoju lasu wyłączonego z gospodarki leśnej

The paper presents an outline of problems associated with dynamic ecosystem stability viewed from the angle of a forest which was completely excluded from productive utilisation. The following notions were distinguished: forest stability, stand stability and managed forest stability. The author's own interpretation of forest development was presented. The model portrays the development of the forest and the role of self−regulation as a negative and positive feedback. The relationship between the effect of self−regulating capabilities and the effect of ecosystem resistance to de−stabilising actions was taken into consideration.
