Final Report
For the implementation of the activities
included in the work package М8 – 5 (BU)
„National dissemination of information”
Meeting the requirements set in action M8-(BU) for the period from the
beginning of the project until now the Executive Environment Agency (ExEA),
associated beneficiary to the project FutMon - LIFE 07 ENV/DE/000218 had
realized the following:
With the aim to provide important public information we use the ExEA
homepage:

A seminar was organized during the reporting period. It has been
presented the aims and objectives
of the Project FutMon, the main
types of activities, the methods for
analysis and evaluation. The
Indicators and results of the
present activities have been also
represented. On the meeting has
been reported the progress of the project. The meeting was attended by
experts from the Ministry of Environment and Water, the Executive
Agency of Forestry, Ministry of
Agriculture and Food, directorates
of the National Parks and Natural
Parks, Institute of Forestry of
Bulgarian Academy of Sciences,
University of Forestry, Faculty of
Biology at the Sofia University,
NGO representatives and media.

The photos from this seminar are available in gallery.
By the end of this year we are arranged a round table with the
representatives of the scientific society, particularly forest and ecology
scientists. On this meeting were
discussed the possibilities for an
application of the FutMon project results,
the methods of analysis and different
scenarios.
d) Press releases
Regarding to the presentation of the
Page 3
project results and meeting the requirements set in
the Action M8, articles for “Ecology 21”
magazine and “Forest” magazine were prepared
and sent for printing during the reporting period.
They presented the aims and objectives of the
project FutMon in Europe and the implementation
and results of the work packages in which our
country is involved. The articles were released in
the “Ecology 21” magazine issue: number 4/2010
and in the “Forest” magazine issue: number 8/2011.

With regard of the general results of the FutMon project in Bulgaria, a
presentation on the status of forests was prepared, based on the data
obtained from the FutMon project. The presentation was made at a special
Forum, organized by the Union of Foresters in Bulgaria and the
Department of Forestry Sciences of the Union of Scientists in Bulgaria.
Executive Environment
Agency as Associated
Beneficiary has organized
the FutMon closing meeting
on June 24th 2011. Experts
from the Executive
Environment Agency,
Executive Forest Agency,
Regional Inspectorate of
Environment and Water,
National Parks Directorate,
scientist from Bulgarian

b) All type of reports
The publication of the booklet presented the report of the FutMon
projects results has been prepared and presented on the closing
meeting. It was printed 300 copies. Part of them were provided to
participant in the Close meeting and the rest were distributed to the
Information centers in the National and Nature parks, Forestry university,
Forestry institute by the Bulgarian academy of science, Executive forestry
agency by the Ministry of agriculture and foods and to the Information
center in the ExEA. 50 copies were distributed during the Bulgarian-
Romanian bilateral workshop of the expert panel for assessment and
management of the ambient air quality in the border towns along the lower
Danube, which took place in Rouse, Bulgaria in November 2011.
All deliverables did not raise any costs.
The brochure can be found online on the web page of the project:

The results from the assessments and analysis of the data, received
from the implementation of the FutMon project were included in the
National 2009 Report on the State of Environment in Bulgaria
(http://eea.government.bg/cms/bg/soer-bg-2009/front-page), National
2010 Report on the State of Environment in Bulgaria (in the press)
and in the Indicator Report 2009 (in the press).

Notice boards - On the 21st of September, 2010, a procedure for
“Design and realization of the notice boards for FutMon project needs”
was launched in line with the national legislation. To the end of October
2010 it will be done. You could see the design of the notice boards
below:

CD. Summary - Oak forests in Sredna Gora, as a natural phenomenon, grow
in the conditions of specific relief and climate and are important forest
economic resource. Each disturbance of these dendrocoenoses integrity leads
to worsening of their ecological, recreational and economical functions. As a
result of 9-year stationary studies (after the year 2000) was followed the
dynamics of the thickness growth and the time for radial growth accumulation
of 1, 2 and 3 cm of oak trees. The structure of the stand was established and
its resistance to strong winds via coefficient of mechanical stability (Kms). The
health status of the stand was studied which after the year 2000 was stabilised
despite of partly dry tops of Quercus frainetto trees and decreased crown
volume of Quercus cerris. The investigation is with regional character and will
support the future management of oak forests in the region

litterfall, litter and soil in the ecological sample plots Vitinia and Staro
Oriahovo. - in Forestry ideas Journal. 2/2009 (38). 26-32. – UDK 631.4
Received 11.11.2009; Summary - The purpose is comparative analysis of the
chemical composition of litterfall, litter and soil and assessment of changes in
their quantity passing from one component to another. Selected objects have
different adsorption capacity for organic matter entring in the soil – very low in
stationary sample plot Vitinia is and very high in St. Oriahovo. The absence of
solid adsorbent in sandy clay loam soil from beech ecosystem (Vitinia) is
prerequisite for significant lowering of quantity of elements entering in soil with
litterfall. Most strongly is changed manganese – 15.7 fold, next is potassium –
10 fold, nitrogen – 8.9 fold, calcium – 4.2 fold, phosphorus – 3.5 fold,
magnesium – 2.3 fold. Insignificant are changes for copper, zinc and sodium –
from 1.2 to 1.3 fold. In clay soil from oak ecosystem (St. Oriahovo) with solid
adsorbtion capacity quantity of elements entering in soil with litterfall are
increased – for magnesium 5.8 fold, zinc – 3.9 fold, copper – 3.2 fold,
manganese – 2.4 fold.
