Taper models are used to determine the diameter along the trunk and allow to determine the tree trunk volume or volume of any part of it. The paper presents the method of determining the thickness of bark along the trunk using compatible taper models. Four taper models with different levels of complexity were analyzed based on data from 13 sample plots and 39 sample trees measured in black locust...
The aim of the study was to apply the forest soil trophic index (ITGL) in the assessment of post−agricultural soil under naturally regenerated silver birch (Betula pendula Roth.) stands. The study was conducted in Mazowieckie region (central Poland) in 10 locations (tab. 1). In each location we established 4 study plots with naturally regenerated silver birch of different age. The age of the investigated...
So−far developed and published Polish equations for determination of aboveground biomass of Scots pine are based on two predictors: diameter at the breast height (DBH) and tree height. The main goal of the presented study were i) to build the simplified empirical biomass equations that use exclusively DBH as the independent variable, and ii) to compare the obtained results with values from equations...
There are no original local yield tables for Douglas fir stands grown in Poland. In the presented study we attempted to answer the question whether it is possible to successfully use the German yield tables for Douglas fir developed by Bergel [1985]. Based on the data from these yield tables we developed the height growth model (site index curves) for Douglas fir in the form of the polymorphic equation...
The study describes allometric relationships between stand density and tree dimensions in birch stands on post−agricultural lands. The research material consisted of measurements carried out on 120 sample plots located in birch stands on post−agricultural lands of Central Poland. The investigated relationship was analyzed using ordinary least squares (OLS), dynamical formulation of allometric function...
The topic of forest plantations is particularly important in countries with low forest cover, where the demand for wood is particularly high, such as e.g. Kazakhstan. The main goal of this paper is to present the results of research on the productivity of selected cultivars of poplar: 62027−1 hybrid and Kazakh poplar, grown in various spacings (2,5×1, 3×1,5 and 3×2 m, which translates to stocking...
The study showed the genetic structure of nine Schrenk spruce stands, which represented altitude and geographical variants in the Tien−Shan mountains in Kyrgyzstan. Comparison between genetic structure of stands was based on frequencies of nuclear microsatellite (SSR) alleles occurring in three DNA loci. The total genetic differentiation of Schrenk spruce populations was low (FST=0.0651). Eight main...
The paper presents the tables for indirect determination of the age of silver birch (Betula pendula Roth) trees basing on easy to measure dendrometric parameters. We elaborated empirical formulae that enable deter− mination of tree age using total tree height, breast height diameter and stump diameter as the predictors. Data was collected in 40 pure silver birch stands growing on former farmlands...
When using such methods as terrestrial laser scanning (TLS), one of the major factors influencing the accuracy of stand characteristics determination is the visibility of trees on a sample plot, which is often obscured by the shadow effect caused by trees located closer to the plot center. Because of this, the percentage of the identified trees and basal area depends on the distance from the plot...
