The department collaborates with the Faculty of Forestry in Zagreb, the Institute of Forestry in Jastrebarsko and the enterprise "Croatian forests" on the experimental project about karst problem. It researches into methods of biological amelioration, the choice of forest species by afforestation, erosion and the protection of soil, the influence of fire on the vegetation, biotope and the landscape in the coastal part of Croatia, recultivation of damaged soils and the right management of the karst, by which their present state will be improved and their durability secured.

In the recent years the department has been working on the following projects and tasks:
  • negative influence on the forest and the augmentation of their protection,
  • management of karst forests for pasture ,
  • the choice of forest species by afforestation and the methods of biological amelioration,
  • erosion and the protection of soil on the karst,
  • the augmentation of production and stability of forest ecosystems.
For that aim the permanent experimental plots on the karst were made.
