In 2021, the leverage of incentives in the public sector amounted to 31.8 euro cents of subsidy for 1 euro of investment. The annual 2020 target value of 33 euro cents was, thus, reached a year late. Compared to the previous year, 2.8 euro cents less subsidy had to be allocated for 1 euro of investment, as the financial leverage of the Eco Fund's incentives decreased again, this time by 3.3 euro cents. According to currently available data, the leverage of incentives in the public sector has increased again in 2022, to 38.6 euro cents of subsidy for 1 euro of investment.

Deadwood is an important animal and plant habitat that contributes to the biodiversity of forest ecosystems. According to Slovenia Forest Service data, the volume of standing and fallen trees without stumps and branches in 2022 was 21.3 m³/ha, which represented approximately 6% of the entire wood stock of forest stands. In virgin forests, however, the deadwood volume can be even several dozen times greater.

In the past centuries, forest area has been increasing constantly after 2010; however, the rate of expansion has slowed down and remains relatively stable in recent years. Since 1875, when forests covered only 36% of the Slovenian territory, forest cover has increased to 58.5% in the year 2009 and rests stable today at 58.0 %. In terms of forest share, Slovenia ranks third among EU-28 countries, behind Sweden and Finland.
