The Forest Research Plot was chosen on a typical site for the Pokljuka plateau. It is covered by a supposedly autochthonous old Norway spruce stand with rejuvenation centres. Data on the physiological parameters can be used as representation values for a subalpine Norway spruce stand. The studies include: standard site and dendrological parameters, physiological parameters (foliar analysis, antioxidants, hormones and aminoacids in spruce needs), genetical and biochemical analysis (isoenzymes and molecular markers), microbiological activity (acid phosphatase, rate of decomposition, number and occurrence of fungal decomposers of wood and litter) and studies of symbionts and pathogens of Norway spruce (mapping of fruitbodies of mycorrhizal fungi, types of ectomycorrhizae, endophytes, epiphytes - lichens and phytopathological surveys). All physiological and ecological studies are planned to be repeated at certain time periods in order to understand better the functioning of the forest ecosystems on Pokljuka.
