“…Also, at the sample plots of Level 1, the above mentioned species are equally distributed, except for the Hungarian oak, which is more frequent than the sessile oak. Within the international programme for the monitoring of the forest condition ICP Forests, the grid of the sample plots 16 x16 kilometers of the Level 1 in the Republic of Serbia was established for the first time in 1988 at about 150 sample plots (Nevenić R. et al 2009). Afterwards, the forest condition was not evaluated for a long period of time, and the practice was renewed in 2003, and in the following 2004, the new 27 plots in the grid 4 x4 kilometers were added to the existing grid 16 x16 kilometers, in order to gain the most representative data possible on the forest condition in Serbia.…”

The vitality of a forest ecosystem to a great extent depends on the effect of different factors of stress, be it of biotic (harmful insects, phytopathogenic fungi, etc.), abiotic (frost, drought, high temperatures, etc.) or of anthropogenic origin (human activities). Some factors owning to their long-lasting effect can lead to the weakening of the individual trees or the whole forest ecosystem and eventually cause the mortality of it. The paper presents the results of the research of the types of damages of biotic, abiotic and anthropogenic origin at the sample plot of LEVEL 1 in the Republic of Serbia, conducted during 2013. By the analysis of the data, the results concerning the total number of trees with the identified types of damage, the part of the tree on which the some type of damage occurred most commonly, total number of the trees without any damage, most frequent type of damage and the types of trees with the highest and lowest percentage of damage, were obtained. The results which were obtained present the factual situation regarding the types of the damages for each sample plot and can be beneficial for the further analysis. By comparing these data with the date from other countries, the conclusions about the way in which the vitality of trees depend on the environmental conditions were made.
