The Chair of Forest Ecology and Urban Greenery at the University of Sarajevo - Faculty of Forestry, has been a cornerstone of scientific disciplines and knowledge in the field of forest and urban ecosystems ecology in Bosnia and Herzegovina for several decades. The dedicated scientists and academic professionals associated within the chair have contributed significantly, producing some of the nation's most crucial knowledge concerning the characteristics and processes of forest ecosystems, widely utilized by researchers and professionals.

In the mid-1980s, the integration of the Forestry Institute into the Faculty expanded the Chair responsibilities to encompass teaching, research and professional activities in forest ecology. Subsequent organizational developments occurred with the establishment of the Department of Horticulture in 1996, broadening the chair's scope to include research on the the ecology of urban environments. Presently, with a team of nine members—comprising four full professors, three associate professors, one senior assistant, and one senior independent laboratory assistant—the chair's diverse and dynamic research activities focus on forest ecology, levels of diversity in forest trees, soils, ecosystems, and urban environments.

Our ongoing research efforts are multi-faceted, with a particular emphasis on forest biodiversity and conservation, the development of vegetation and pedological databases, the functions of green infrastructure, monitoring invasive species, and studying plant physiology stress. Collaborative international initiatives with research groups across Europe play a central role in most of our activities, fostering a rich exchange of ideas and expertise. Our overarching goal remains the pursuit of research excellence and the dissemination of knowledge concerning the vegetation, flora, physiology, pedology, and chemistry of forest and urban landscape ecosystems.

With minor organizational changes, the Chair for Economics, Policy and Organization of Forestry and Urban Greenery has existed at the Faculty of Forestry in Sarajevo since it was established, as an organizational unit integrating a group of related teaching disciplines dealing with economic, organizational, political and social aspects of forest and urban greenery governance. This paper presents the development of human resources, the evolution of educational process and research activities, as well as future perspectives of the Chair. The methodological approach used in this paper is based on analysis of the educational process evolution, a comprehensive review of research topics covered through scientific publications and evaluation of implemented research and professional projects. Growing alongside with the Faculty, the Chair has played a significant role in the Faculty’s organizational and strategic development, the continuous advancement of teaching and scientific research activities and strengthening its competitiveness, leading to an enhanced international visibility of the Faculty. Members of the Chair have held prominent positions at the Faculty, serving as deans in six mandates. Professor Šućrija Šaković played a particularly exceptional role, making an indelible mark on the Faculty's post-war personnel and material reconstruction efforts. Currently, the Chair offers 22 courses within 3-cycles study according to the Bologna education system. The Chair’s members organized a series of international scientific events, among which the symposiums of several IUFRO working groups (Forest law and environmental legislation, Cross-sectoral policy impacts on forests and environment) stand out, as well as the first conference of the IUFRO Division 9 (Forest policy and economics). The Chair's commitment to research is evident in its active involvement in numerous projects, both domestically and internationally. These includes several COST projects, as well as those undertaken in collaboration with esteemed institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina and abroad. With its strong track record of excellence, the Chair is poised to become a regional hub for innovation and knowledge-sharing in the fields of economics, policy and organization of forestry and urban greenery. This aligns with the contemporary trends in high education in forestry and horticulture, and the evolving needs of society and the economy in relation to forest ecosystems.

Historijski razvoj, obrazovanje, naučnoistraživački rad i perspektive – Katedra za uzgajanje šuma i urbano zelenilo

The Chair of Silviculture and Urban Greenery an organizational unit of the Faculty of Forestry at the University of Sarajevo, is dedicated to excellence in both education and scientific research. Our focus encompasses silvicultural systems, natural and artificial regeneration, forest genetics, and urban greenery. Informed by natural processes our Chair plays important role in shaping decisions related to forest management. We are dedicated to exploring the complexities of old growth forests, emphasising biological and genetic diversity. Furthermore, our interest extends to the dynamic realm of urban greenery. Through its history, the Chair has undergone transformative phases, culminating in its nomenclature established in 1996. At present our Chair comprises five accomplished professionals - a distinguished academician, full professor, associate professor, senior Ph.D. assistant and a dedicated assistant. The Chair of Silviculture and Urban Greenery is organized into two distinct scientific fields. One field concentrates on forest seed collection, forest nurseries, reforestation (both natural and artificial) and various silvicultural systems. Simultaneously, the second field deals with forest genetics. Both scientific fields converge to address the multifaceted aspects of urban greenery.

Driven by a clear mission, our Chair is resolute in its commitment to educating students and advancing scientific knowledge. This dedication is evident from our efforts ranging from writing textbooks to publishing impactful scientific papers. In alignment with our vision for the future, we actively monitor scientific trends in the field of silviculture and forest genetics globally, implementing these insights at the Faculty to stay at the forefront of academic excellence.

Razvoj, obrazovanje, naučno-istraživački rad i perspektive Katedre za uređivanje šuma i urbanog zelenila

This paper presents the historical development of the Department for Management in Forestry and Urban Greenery, the structure and development of teaching disciplines, a list of teaching and non-teaching staff, and the most important results of research conducted at the University of Sarajevo - Faculty of Forestry in the scientific field of forest management. The aim of the paper is to familiarize the wider scientific and professional public with the activities of the members of the Department from its establishment to the present day, with special emphasis on the most important steps that have significantly influenced the development of forestry as an economic branch and the field of forest management in BiH. This especially applies to the results of older research that have been published in domestic journals and are mostly not known and available to the wider professional public. Some of these results are still used or newer research relies on them, their strengths and weaknesses are analyzed, and they are corrected and supplemented with modern methods of data collection and analysis. The paper also presents the most significant changes in the teaching process, in terms of introducing new teaching disciplines and updating the content of existing ones, in order to respond as efficiently as possible to the demands set by practical forest management.
