Abstract: In this manuscript the prediction of the primary roe deer habitat variables canopy cover, stand structural classes, proportion of evergreen trees and understory vegetation cover (classified according to palatability for roe deer and vegetation height into barren ground, graminoids, Vaccinium spp., herbs, conifers, Rubus spp. ferns deciduous and shrubs) with the growth model PROGNAUS was evaluated for a 10-year period.
