Abstract.

Research works on the consequences of the European beaver’s re-

acclimatization are becoming highly demanded lately. Moreover, the economic

assessment of plant resources (defining their value in money terms) is gaining great

practical importance. In this work silvicultural and economic assessment of the European

beaver’s activity has been given. The activity of the European beaver causes silvicultural

and economic damage to forestry. In addition, weakening the forests’ protective function

takes place.

Keywords:

the European beaver, test area, stumpage value of wood, commercial

timber and firewood, economic damage.
