Disturbances cause unexpected losses on the forest stands production, they reduce the value as well as the value of the produced wood. Disturbances play an important role in forest development so they are therefore very important factors influencing sustainable management. The most common harmful agents in the territory of Europe are strong whirlwinds which result in up to 53% of the volume of salvage cutting. Currently, local, regional and global climate changes significantly affect the occurrence, frequency, extent and intensity of disturbances. Forest damages are one of the forest ecosystem dynamics phenomena, but it is not desirable in terms of balanced fulfillment of economic, environmental (ecological) and social functions. The aim of the diploma thesis is to identify the risk areas at VšLP TU Zvolen in view of the occurrence of salvage cutting and to analyze the factors that influence their occurrence. The results of the work indicate that there are three risk areas within VšLP where we would recommend applying adaptation measures in the context of forest management´s planning.
