- Abstract
High Conservation Value Forests (HCVFs) are natural habitats that have an outstanding significance or critical importance, meaning that they are more valuable in terms of biodiversity, ecological values and importance for local people than in terms of industrial timber. The HCV concept was originally developed by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) in 1999 to be used in forest management certifications. HCV Framework is a practical conservation tool for ensuring that critical values in natural and production landscapes are identified, managed, and monitored. The aim of the present research was to identify and to describe the HCVF in the context of forest certification, in the experimental bases (EB) of INCDS ”Marin Drăcea”. As such, the investigations took place on the surface of fifteen EB (Caransebeş, Lechinţa, Mihăeşti, Tomnatic, Vidra, Bărăgan, Cornetu, Craiova, Săcele, Simeria, Ştefăneşti, Hemeiuşi, Timişoara, Tg. Mureş, and Tucea). The largest HCVF surfaces were identified in EB Vidra (3147 ha), followed at a great distance by EB Caransebes, Tulcea and Sacele with 432 ha, 367 ha and 356 ha. Of the total EB surfaces that present HCVF, areas that provide basic ecosystem services in critical situations, respectively HCVF 4.2 (Forests critical to erosion control) represent the highest percentage (72%). INCDS "Marin Drăcea" is concerned by the environment protection, since the certification (FSC) is not determined only by the economic factor, but of the concern to maintain or improve the quality of forest habitats and conservation values.
