Passports of forest ecosystems - Their application and telling capacities in the planning of the sustainable development of the National Park Krkonose (KRNAP)

The passports of key forest ecosystems seem to be a proper ground for asses sment as they clearly summarize the basic information and characteristics: key systems (group of forest types) delineation, altitudal and spatial dist ribution, natural, present and optimum stand composition, occurrences of en dangered and protected species, threat of natural and anthropogenic abiotic and biotic factors, stability/vulnerability analysis, carrying capacity, m anagement principles. The contents and telling capacity of the passports as their application capacities in the planning of the sustainable developmen t can be deduced from the examples of forest ecosystems which illustrate tw o different leading specifications: important spatial distribution and repr esentativeness.
