Sažetak	Forest biodiversity indices quantify species richness, evenness, and overall diversity in forest ecosystems. Rooted in information theory (Shannon) and statistical ecology (Simpson, Magurran), these indices compress complex multispecies data into interpretable metrics. Applied to forest inventory data, biodiversity indices guide conservation planning, assess ecological health, and track responses to management or disturbance.	Silvicultural treatment design is the process of developing specific management prescriptions for forest stands to achieve defined objectives (timber yield, biodiversity, carbon storage, watershed protection). Codified in foundational texts by Smith and colleagues, silvicultural design integrates stand assessment, growth models, and ecosystem understanding to specify interventions (thinning, shelterwood, clear-cut, rotation-age modification) that steer forest development toward intended outcomes while respecting ecological constraints.
