During summer 2011, severe outbreak of the Spruce Bark Beetle (Ips typographus) occurred in the Šumava National Park (NP). We aim to elucidate the laws governing population dynamics of this species and conclude that logging of all infested trees in the NP buffer zones, accompanied by a non-intervention policy in the core zones, is a strategy that will protect both, forests surrounding the NP and the most valuable mountain spruce stands in the Šumava NP. and Pavel Kindlmann, Karel Matějka, Petr Doležal.
Understanding the history of coniferous forests and their natural changes over time is critical for proper and effective forest management. The text describes the origin and disturbance history of the mountain Norway Spruce (Picea abies) forests in the Šumava Mts. (Bohemian Forest) using tree-ring and archival documents analyses. Severe and extensive natural disturbances play and have played a fundamental role in forest structure and dynamics. Part of the territory has been shaped by forest management. and Vojtěch Čada ...

Ips typographus is an important pest of Eurasian spruce monoculture. Recent outbreaks in the Šumava National Park started extensive political and public discussions related mainly to the questions of pest management in natural protected areas. The article reviews the biology and some aspects of the physiology and ecophysiology of this species. and Petr Doležal.
Results of the long-term monitoring of spontaneous development in mountain Norway Spruce (Picea abies) forest in the Šumava Mts. after Bark Beetle (Ips typographus) gradation and windthrows are presented. The aim is to show the key role of natural disturbances for this ecosystem. and Magda Edwards Jonášová.
