Analyza mo ností uplatnenia vyberovej inventarizácie lesa pre stanovi tne definované územné jednotky

The paper analyses basic biometrical principles of sampling forest inventory for typologically determined territorial units in Slovakia - forest regions and forest site types. Such approach differs from other conventional inventories, as the number of these units is too big. It brings some troubles, because each sampling inventory is, regarding costs and accuracy, the most effective when the inventory area is large and the number of its parts is small. To reach an optimal solution, several alternatives for an optimal type and density of inventory plots as well as for the choice of information spectrum are analysed and compared. At the same time some issues, which must be reviewed in construction of corresponding sampling design, are formulated. Decision from the viewpoint of forestry ecology and typology must be taken as well.
