摘要:A The study begins with a complete analysis of the entire Norway spruce stands (36.183) from the Southern Carpathians. The main characteristics of these stands were analyzed, followed by a classification of their characteristics on favorability classes (from 1 to 5, from the lowest to the highest) based on their framing within the smart forest category. This classification has taken into account both the stand growing characteristics (diameter, height, volume, current growth), as well as some stand qualitative traits (lopping, vitality), forest functions (production/protection subunit, functional group and category) or site characteristics (flora, soil, forest type, station type). This is the first time when stands were classified based on their general adaptability character towards environment conditions, quantifying the notion of smart forests. The most representative Norway spruce smart forests are spread out in Retezat, Ierului, Șureanu and Piatra Craiului Mountains, at altitudes between 1000-1300 meters, on shaded expositions, dystric cambisol soils, in stands aged between 90 and 150 years. The participation percentage of Norway spruce in the stand composition and the field’s inclination does not influence the apparition of spruce smart forests. The usage of the term “smart forest” and the classification of stands in this category is a scientific and practical activity for the future.
