The aim of the study was to compare the site index of common oak growing under the canopy of Scots pine stands with the values typical for this species on a given habitat. The research was carried out in 20 Scots pine stands with well−developed lower layers of common oak occurring in the fresh mixed forest habitat. The analyzed stands were located in 5 forest districts in central and north−eastern...
The work aims to describe the impact of scarification and sorting of pedunculate oak acorns and the time of sowing on the germination, growth traits (stem height, root collar diameter, total leaves area, number of leaves, dry mass), and the quality indices of seedlings grown in the Hiko container. The experiment was conducted on two dates: March 25 and April 21 in a container nursery in the Rudy Raciborskie...
Naturally regenerated silver birch is one of the most abundant competitor for planted seedlings in central Poland. The effect of the interaction between planted oak seedlings and naturally regenerated birch was studied in 14−17−years−old sessile oak stand. The experiment was established at stand age of 14−years. At that time, there were around 4000 oaks and 10000 birches per hectare. A sample of dominant...
The programme of testing the progeny of permanent seed stands, parent trees, seed orchards and seedling seed orchards that has been run in Poland enables to determine the genetic value and silvicultural quality of the progeny of components of primary forest material. A better knowledge of population variability and adaptability to particular environmental conditions also allows for the updating and...
Paper presents an analysis of phenotypical variation and an evaluation of silvicultural quality of progeny from 27 beech stands around Poland that grow on the provenance plot in the Brzeziny Forest District (51.791997°N, 19.813841°E). The trial commenced in spring 1996, on the basis of 2−year−old saplings with covered root systems. A randomised block method with 3 replications was applied, with subsequent...
The aim of this study was to quantify 4−year growth and increment of 11− to 15−year−old, artificially regenerated hornbeam (Carpinus betulus L.) playing the role of the tending (nursery) species in the oak stand of the same age, after the silvicultural treatments aimed at reducing its competition against the oak. The study included three types of experimental treatments: decapitating of all hornbeam...
The study objective was to verify the hypothesis on ecotypic variation in beech and ineffectiveness of transferring its reproductive material over larger distances. Beech nuts were collected in the autumn of 1990. Experimental sites were established in the Baligród and Oleszyce forest districts (SE Poland). On single plots of 18.00×13.75 m (247.5 m²), a total of 110 three−years−old seedlings were...
Growth and mortality of oak (Quercus robur L.) in young mixed stands with various admixture of hornbeam (Carpinus betulus L.) in the period of 9−13 years after planting were examined. The trial stand is located in central Poland (51.827023° N, 19.922315° E). It was established in 2004 on a moderately fertile site. Four experimental variants with different participation of oak (O) and hornbeam (H)...
European mistletoe (Viscum album L.) is a semi−parasitic plant attacking selected tree species. It adversely affects the functioning of its hosts especially at water management level. Scots pine infestation by mistletoe subspecies Viscum album ssp. austriacum becomes more and more common. Mistletoe has been proven to have a negative impact on Scots pine cones, seedlings and seeds quality. Thus, we...
We examined growth of oaks after cleaning carried out in a 11−year−old stand in Kolumna Forest District (central Poland). The purpose of the treatment was to remove naturally regenerated species mainly birch. Four different cleaning variants were applied. They differed in time of application and height of unwanted trees i.e. spring cleaning at ground level in every second oak row (W1) or over the...
