Data on GHG emissions from forest fires show a downward trend, which is, however, not statistically significant. In the long term, there is a major forest fire in Slovenia about every five years, so GHG emissions are relatively high in these years. The highest GHG emissions due to forest fires since we have been recording data were in 2003.

Most Slovenian forests are still undergoing natural regeneration, which guarantees the stability of future forest stands and adaptation to the changing site conditions caused by climate change. Restoration by planting seedlings and sowing (artificial regeneration) only complements natural regeneration when disturbances occur in the process of the natural regeneration of the forest, e.g. where there is no possibility of natural seeding, with the risk of developing erosion processes on exposed forest areas (e.g.
