The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the forest resistance potential and the development of harmful factors in the period from 2016 to 2019 in the model area of LS Svinica. For this purpose, an analysis of salvage cuttings was performed in this period, in relation to forest stand parameters such as slope, exposure and quality. Forest resistance potential was defined as a set of factors that influence the dispositional conditions for damage by biotic and abiotic factors. The results of this thesis show that in beech stands of our model area during the observed period, were the most damaged stands on good quality and north-western exposure. The volume of salvage cuttings also increased in relation to the rising slope. In terms of age, the most damaged stands were from 100 to 120 years. In terms of forest resistance potential, forest stands are predisposed to be damaged mainly due to unsuitable tree composition, single-storied structure and lack of forest stand filling. To improve the resilience of these stands, it is necessary to implement measures aimed at increasing the volume of treetops, supporting and planting of the stabilizing tree species and mitigating the effects of extreme drought.
