Summary/Abstract: During the Ottoman reign in Slavonia (1526-1691), this province was an extremely wooded area and was sparsely populated; it can be assumed that more that 70% of Slavonia during that time was covered by forest. The proximity of the Habsburg-Ottoman border influenced the orientation of the exploitation of Slavonian forests to military logistic needs (construction, supply and maintenance of fortification, use of wood as firewood, for the production of military armament, bridges; pontoon bridges, ships and others).
