Abstract
The forest environment is a result of the interaction between a large number of factors of a geomorphological, climatological, geological and ecological nature behind which the sun is the original source of energy.The environmental features can be classified and put into systems in several different ways. To varying degrees the features influence the primary and secondary production in forest operations. In the primary production the environmental features regulate i.e. the composition of the plant society with respect to trees, bushes and ground vegetation and its vigor expressed in density, amount and height.
