The size−class growth model is an empirical model applicable for the prediction of the dynamics of natural forest growth. It is based on the following assumptions: (1) changes in the forest condition are determined on the basis of the sum of the changes that take place in individual size classes, (2) the trees in a given class are represented by single average tree, (3) the calculation of the future...
The study assesses the damage to silver fir from the canopy layer in the stands of the Świętokrzyskie Mountains (central Poland) using three methods. The suitability of these methods was also analysed by calculating the correlation between increment of the diameter at breast height (DBH) and the level of damage. In total we investigated 240 trees. The first analysed method involves tree defoliation...
The study assesses the effect of applied cuttings on the transformation of the species composition, structure and development of the forest towards selection forest type. The described control unit was established in 2000 in the Krucze Mts. (southern Poland) within the programme of silver fir restoration in the Sudety Mts. The working hypothesis was based on the advantageous effect of the selection...
Numerous examples of silver fir stands growing outside its geographical range in northern Poland suggest that this species could be used in a greater extend in creation of managed forest stands. Climatic conditions could potentially constrain the use of this species in some parts of country. The objective of this work was to determine the potential climatic range of Abies alba in Poland. The bioclimatic...
In Poland, the majority of silver fir stands is characterised by a single−layer stand structure. The current silvicultural activities aim at obtaining multilayer stands, which requires a clearer definition of the structure, and more precisely, a better knowledge of the pattern of diameters at breast height (DBH) distribution. The aim of the research was to develop a pattern of DBH distribution of...
The paper presents the dendrochronological analysis of silver firs (Abies alba Mill.) growing in the canopy layer of the forest stands. We searched for the similarities in the rhythm of radial growth of studied trees and we analysed the response of these stands to the increment disturbances related to the occurrence of adverse climatic factors and the pressure from industrial pollution. The research...
