This paper aims to investigate the evolution of the land base by land use categories: arable land, grassland, forests, and other wooded land. Specifically, the case study will analyse the evolution of the areas occupied by forest vegetation, included in the National Forest Fund, and managed by the Bihor Forestry Directorate through the Oradea Forestry Office, within the U.P.U.III Ineu, according to forest management plans referring to period 2007-2016 and 2017-2026. The research focuses on the evolution of the structural and qualitative characteristics of the stands, respectively the implementation and the results of the forest management plans for the studied stands, during the mentioned period, using the QGIS software. A comparative analysis will also be made of the ten-year plans for harvesting wood products and carrying out natural and artificial regeneration. The importance of these analyses lies in their ability to provide quick solutions to various problems encountered in current practical activities in the forestry sector.
