Dobrowa (forest)
The Dobrowa is a forest area south of Völkermarkt in the Klagenfurt Basin , Carinthia , Austria.
Geomorphology / Soils
Basin position with loose sediment filling (moraines, fluvioglacial gravel). Shallow to medium-sized brown soils, in the south of the dobrova there are also redistributed brown loam. A moderate layer of raw humus (5–7 cm) lies on a very thick mineral humus horizon. The soil is cheaper than the current state of the stands suggests.
climate
The climate of this inner-alpine basin is characterized by cold winters (inversion position) and hot summers. The January mean is -4.8 ° C, the July mean 17.8 ° C, the annual mean temperature 7.4 ° C (measured in St. Michael ob Bleiburg, 1951–1990) The precipitation distribution (950 mm) also shows a Maximum in summer, considerable rainfall in autumn shows the Mediterranean influence.

Forest societies
- a.) current: secondary Scots pine and spruce forests over blueberry-lingonberry type with plenty of calluna , Lycopodium complanatum and bracken .
- b.) potentially: English oak mixed forest with hornbeam , linden and spruce ; Book only subordinate due to the frost.
Management
So far, maintenance interventions in the thicket and pole wood age have only rarely been carried out. This resulted in early deficits and quality defects. The historical change from the primary deciduous mixed deciduous forests to pine forests was accompanied by acidification and the loss of nutrients caused by historical land use over several centuries. Periodic litter use, forest pasture and uncontrolled removal of biomass were important.
Forest protection situation
Repeated catastrophic damage from storms and snow as well as periodically occurring fungal diseases and harmful insects threaten the tillering.
