THE WIND – CLIMATIC RISK FACTOR FOR THE SUCEAVA COUNTY’S FORESTRY STOCK
Journal Title: Present Environment and Sustainable Development - Year 2009, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Forests contribute to the formation and protection of our environment; they also need permanent protection from humans, due to the multiple functionalities of the forestry ecosystems, as forest is not only a component of the environment, but also a source of multiple and valuable goods and services essential to human communities. This paper presents aspects concerning the impact of wind on the forests of Susana County. Local conditions are presented and debated upon, as well as an analysis of the risk factors which determine wind throws, emphasizing the major economic, ecologic and negative impact of this disturbing factor. The last big wind throw of 6th- 8th March 2002 is analyzed, the conditions in which it occurred, the damage resulted and the measures that were taken. Further action is necessary, though, in order to diminish the negative impact of the wind on the forests of Suceava County.
