In this paper, we conduct a dendrochronological study in the Western Transcaucasia region of Georgia to elucidate the relationship between tree growth and climatic variables (temperature, precipitation, and streamflow) in order to reconstruct the paleohydrology of the Kura River and to assess the impacts of climate change on water resources. We ana...
The monograph discusses the research findings about alien woody plant invasion in forest habitats of the Protected Areas of Georgia. Specifically, it offers (a) insights into the geographic locations and patterns of alien woody plants (visualized through georeferenced maps which highlight their distribution and relative density/abundance)(b) evalua...

First online-conference in Georgian with all forest research institutions represented.
ნაშრომში პირველად ქართულ ენაზე მოცემულია ყველა ძირითადი ინფორმაცია ვერხვების წარმოშობის, ევოლუციის, ჰიბრიდიზაციის და გამრავლების შესახებ. ვერხვები დახასიათებულია ტაქსონომიურად განახლებული კლასიფიკაციის მიხედვით. პირველად არის განხილული ძირითადი ჰაბიტატები, როგორც EUNIS, ასევე NATURA 2000-ის ჰაბიტატების კლასიფიკაციის მიხედვით. /This book is the firs...
Georgian forests are very valuable natural resources, but due to the lack of affordable alternatives to firewood, people are forced to use forest resources illegally and unsustainably. The aim of this study was to determine the productivity and biomass properties of four poplar clones from Aigeiros and Tacamahaca and one control clone, considering...
Georgia is located on the southern slopes of the Great Caucasus Mountain Range, as part of the Caucasus Eco‐region, is considered one the 35 worldwide significant biodiversity hotspots based on the species richness and the significant level of species endemism. One of the threats that may be considered in respect to forest habitat types of high con...
Here we present the primary results of impact assessment of potentially invasive alien woody species (PIAWS) in the protected areas of Eastern Georgia. This work is a part of a large project "Survey of Potential Invasive Alien Woody Species (PIAWS) in the Protected Areas of Georgia". Particularly, we focused our study on alien species such as Robin...
In general it is to be mentioned that study of the issue of natural
regeneration of forests is one of the main forestry factors for solution
of scientifi c or practical issues in the process of forest management.
In modern forest science the researches related to fast growing
tree species are especially topical, because they are highly effective
