Abstract

Cilj ovog završnog rada bio je analizirati i pregledati dostupnu literaturu o stanju šuma i
šumskih pašnjaka na području Mediterana, kako bi se dobio pobliži uvid o problemima i
budućnosti šumskih sastojina i njihov međuodnos sa stočarskim sektorom. U današnje vrijeme,
stočarstvo se nosi sa raznim izazovima kao što su: onečišćenje okoliša, manjak poljoprivrednih
površina, smanjenje kvalitete tla zbog intenzivnog uzgoja, porast cijena hrane za životinje,
smanjenje bioraznolikosti, ugroženost biljnih i životinjskih vrsta i dr. Koncept silvopastoralnih
sustava ima dokazani potencijal za rješavanje navedenih problema, a brojne države se ipak
suočavaju s poteškoćama u implementaciji silvopastorala, unatoč brojnim prednostima koje ono
pruža. Silvopastoralizam ima dokazano pozitivan učinak na dobrobit životinja i ljudi, tlo, klimu
te na lokalni agroekosustav i biljnu vegetaciju određenog područja. Pojedine države Mediterana
pokazuju različiti stupanj razvijenosti silvopastorala, pri čemu se Španjolska ističe kao dobar
primjer za aktivno unaprjeđenje ove stočarsko šumarske prakse. Silvopastoralni sustavi su se
pokazali kao ekološko rješenje, ne samo u zemljama Mediterana, nego i u Afričkim i Azijskim
zemljama, jer smanjuju stupanj erozije tla, utječu na očuvanje kemijskog sastava tla i lokalne
vegetacije te direktno utječu na dugovječnost i boljitak proizvodnog života domaćih životinja.

Abstract (english)

The aim of this paper was to review the available literature on the state of forests and forest
pastures in the Mediterranean area, in order to gain a closer insight into the state of forest
components and their interrelationship with the livestock sector. Nowadays, the livestock sector
is dealing with various challenges, such as environmental pollution, shortage of agricultural
land, reduction of soil quality due to intensive cultivation, increase in animal feed prices,
reduction of biodiversity, endangerment of plant and animal species and many more. The
concept of silvopastoral systems has proven potential to solve the mentioned problems,
however, numerous countries has different difficulties in implementing silvopastoral systems
and agroforestry in practice, despite of all its benefits. Silvopastoralism has a proven positive
effect on the well – being of animals and people, the soil, the climate, and the local
agroecosystem and plant vegetation of a certain area. Different Mediterranean countries show
different degrees of development of silvopastoral, whereby Spain stands out as a good example
for the active improvement of this livestock-forestry practice. Silvopastoral systems have
proven to be an ecological solution, not only in Mediterranean countries, but also in African
and Asian countries, because they reduce the degree of soil erosion, affect the preservation of
the chemical composition of the soil and local vegetation, and directly affect the longevity and
better productive life of domestic animals.
