Abstract
Since last century, silviculture in Greece has been based on the knowledge and experience of the silviculturally developed countries, mainly those of Central Europe. This knowledge was adapted to the Greek conditions with satisfactory results. The Laboratory of Silviculture which belongs to the Department of Forestry and Natural Environment pays attention to the existing silvicultural problems of Greece and other countries and records them. With proper evaluation of these problems in the framework of the present education programme, our Laboratory tries to educate the students of the Department and consult the Forest Engineers. Special attention is paid to the following subjects: - The multiple role of natural forest (with priority to their ecological role). - The rehabilitation of the degraded forest ecosystems (avoidance of the danger of desertification). - The landscape exology according to the contemporary needs. - The protection of the forests and their regeneration mainly after destruction. - The systematic cultivation of forests and especially of plantations, aiming mainly to safeguard their resistance against various dangers.
