The sustainable forest management concept contains the essence of the sustainable development paradigm - meeting the current needs of society without compromising the needs of future generations. The strategic commitment of the Faculty of Forestry University of Sarajevo is aimed at quality education of forestry experts, conducting innovative research and the most intensive cooperation with the economy. The methodological approach in this paper is based on a critical analysis of the scope of the educational-research process at the Faculty of Forestry University of Sarajevo, and the potentials of sustainable forest management in BiH, to determine to what extent higher education and research on environmental, sociological and economic aspects of forest management can affect positive changes in BiH society. Apart from identifying the benefits of forest ecosystems in the context of contributing to sustainable development, the research on the attitudes of teaching staff related to the contribution of the educational-research process to general goals of sustainable development from the 2030 Agenda was conducted. The results of this paper show that the concept of sustainable forest management, as it is realized in educational-research process at the Faculty of Forestry University of Sarajevo, has significant potential to contribute to sustainable development in BiH. This contribution is reflected in biodiversity conservation, mitigation of climate change, carbon storage, prevention of natural disasters, impact on the stability of water and soil, energy supply from renewable sources, continuous economic growth, socially responsible production and consumption, job security, development of rural and urban areas as well as maintaining and improving the psychophysical health of the population. Based on the obtained results, it can be concluded that sustainable forest management, grounded on scientific postulates, understanding of diversity of forest ecosystem services and dynamics in society's requirements towards forests, multidisciplinary and cross-sectoral cooperation, can be an important factor of sustainable development in BiH.

U ovom radu analizirano je 15 europskih provenijencija običnog bora u međunarodnom pokusu kod Kupresa. Pokus je osnovan tijekom proljeća 2012. godine sa biljkama starosti dvije godine (2+0). Ukupno je posađeno 2700 sadnica običnog bora u pokusnom dizajnu slučajnog blok sustava koji je prilagođen terenu, 15 provenijencija u pet ponavljanja (5 x 36 sadnica). Pokus čine provenijencije iz deset europskih zemalja: Austrija (Traisen, Rein, Sistrans), Bosna i Heregovina (Bugojno), Ukrajina (Ivano Frankivsk), Slovačka (Hanusovce), Rumunjska (Sacueini), Norveška (Narvik, Arnes), Njemačka (Teisendorf, Trippstadt), Poljska (Raciane – Nida) i Italija (Ca del Lupo, Fenestrelle, Piani – Valda). Rezultati morfoloških i fizioloških istraživanja odnose se na razlike preživljivanja, visinama, promjer na vratu korijena i proljetnoj fenologiji otvaranja pupova.

UDK 582.475:577.151.64(497.6) Uporabom 13 izoenzimskih sustava, te analizom 20 gen lokusa, analizirali smo genetičku strukturu populacije 13 populacija smreke (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) iz Bosne i Hercegovine. Rezultati izoenzimske analize su vrijednovani preko alelnih frekvencija koje su obračunate iz razlika između gen lokusa, efektivnog broja alela i te stvarne i očekivane heterozigotnosti. Genetička struktura je prikazana za sve gen lokuse koji su pokazali polimorfizam, u istraživanim populacijama smreke.
