Forestry Aridity Index in Vojvodina, North Serbia
Abstract In investigating aridity in Vojvodina (a region in the northern part of Serbia), the Forestry Aridity Index ( FAI ) was used. This index was chosen due to being one of the most suitable indices for the analysis of the interaction of climate and vegetative processes, especially in forestry....
