Ing. Antonin Jurasek, CSc.

Chief of the Forest Research Station
Chief of the Section of nursery management and afforestation

Education

Forestry College in Hranice na Morave, graduated in 1972.
Mendel University of Agriculture and Forestry Brno, faculty of forestry, graduated in 1983 (adult education).
Postgraduate study (Ph. D.) finished in 1992 (thesis Influence of environment and growing techniques on the growth of spruce and beech cuttings).

I have been working in Forest Research Institute since 1975. At first I solved problems of state of health of beech stands. Since 1983 I have dealt with problems of nursery management and vegetative propagation of forest tree species. In 1985 - 1989 and 1990 - 1994 I was solved research subprojects specialised in growing planting stock destined for localities damaged by air pollution as part of project Stabilisation and development of wood producing and other functions of forest under stress of air pollution. Since 1995 I have been a leader of the research project Silviculture in ecotopes disturbed by human activities focused on actual problems of reforestation and tending of forest stands. Within the frame of the project I dealt with the subproject Cultivation of oak and beech planting stock from cuttings and since 2001 the subproject Influence of untraditional ways of planting stock cultivation on stability of established forest stands. The subproject focuses on vegetative propagation by cuttings, growing seedlings in greenhouses, acclimation an so on. I am also liable for permanent activities based on assignation of the Ministry of Agriculture in the frame of nursery management and afforestation pertinent to wide expert, consultation and control activities destined for forest owners and state administration.
