The project followed the Paris meeting of UNESCO in 1971 (’Research on the temperate zone forest’). Since 1979, the Insti- tute of Ecology (first to be established in the history of the country), has continued the project. An appeal to ecology specialists (botanists, meteorologists, soil scientists, geographers, zoologists, etc.) was made to solve goal tasks and collaborate in research. Therefore, 72 researchers from 23 disciplines volunteered and began their investigations according to the coordinated work plan. Dur- ing the first period of research the Project was related to the globally advertized IBP (International Biological Program). At the time of inauguration of the ’Man and Biosphere Program Project’ (UNESCO Program) in the 1970s, Síkfõkút become one of the most important research areas with the most characteristic hardly disturbed forest of Pannonia and surrounding cultivated areas. More recently, several national and international institutes and universities dealing with envi- ronmental protection or scientific research have been carrying out measurements on the area, thus aiming to contribute to the study of the accrue Hungarian forest decline.

Initié en 1972 par l’Institut de Botanique de l’Université Kossuth Lajos (KLTE) à Debrecen (deuxième ville de Hongrie), le programme Síkfõkút Project faisait suite à la réunion de l’Unesco « Research on the temperate zone forest»à Paris en 1971. Depuis 1979 le programme est dirigé par l’institut d’écologie de KLTE. Afin de réaliser les objectifs de recherche, 72 chercheurs regroupant 23 dis- ciplines se sont portés volontaires et ont participé au programme de recherche, partie intégrante du IBP (international biological program).

de l’Unesco « Man and Biosphere », le programme Síkfõkút était-il un des plus importants en recherche forestière d’Europe centrale. Plus récemment, plusieurs universités et instituts étrangers, engagés dans la protection de l’envi- ronnement ou menant des recherches scientifiques se sont joints aux programmes contractuels de coopération. Ils contribuent ainsi aux recherches visant à étudier les causes du dépérissement croissant de la forêt hongroise. 1.
