The study presents a system of evaluation of stand conversion needs. The system enables stand classification with regard to conversion urgency on the basis of a combination of six stand characteristics selected for their usefulness for such evaluation. These are: maturity for conversion, degree of adjustment of species composition of the regeneration to the habitat conditions, degree of coverage by a stand, degree of coverage by regeneration, degree of healthiness. The silvicultural rules adapted to the specifics in mountain regions are an integral part of the study.
