Abstract

The area of Deliblato sands is largely endangered by damage caused by forest fires. The damage caused by forest fires primarily destroys the vegetation cover of Deliblato sands, forest trees, bushes and grassland formations established for the of the sand "movement" prevention and occurrence of eolic erosion in that area, resulting in economic and environmental damage. The paper presents the potential vulnerability of this area to forest fires, the structure of areas and indicates the zones of increased vulnerability regarding the structure and distribution of forest vegetation. Biological and technical measures are also presented on the basis of which preventive action is taken to protect against possible occurrence of forest fires.
