  The paper presents the importance of research which characterizes the natural
forest structure for the forest management. The lessons learned in these
particular forest ecosystems can be integrated by the forest management
objectives, in order to increase the sustainability of this type of resources.
The project NATFORMAN was focused on the structure of the natural forest, thus
research methodologies and modern technology (such as Field-Map) investigation
and determination were used in order to record information on forest structural
parameters. The results obtained refer to these structural parameters and to
the possibility of transferring such information in practice, in order to
achieve forest sustainable management.
