A short introduction of historical overview and current situation refer to forestry problems of the country. The territory of the Czech Republic is damaged especially by abnormal precipitation which lead to a local or regional damages. In the catchment areas of torrents, damages lead to faster soil erosion, development of ravines, landslides, moving of soil sediments and their deposition, devastation of watercourse beds and properties. The most important research results are described in brief. Forestry-hydrologic research documents that a favorable flood-control performance of forest is limited. However, this is not a reason for not taking care of flood-control measures in the mountain afforested areas. These measures and importance of forests for the protection of land are historically verified and justified.
