The aim of the study was to compare growth and survival of plug and bare−root seedlings planted at different dates. The experiment was established in 2003 in the Oleśnica Forest District (south−western Poland). Seedlings were planted at four dates: the end of August, September and October 2003 and the beginning of April 2004. The two−factorial experiment comprised eight treatments. It was established...
This paper describes the variability of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) provenances in the IUFRO experiment located in Rogów (central Poland). The silvicultural quality and growth of 17 European provenances at the age of 28 years were examined, including height, diameter at breast height, standing volume, straightness of stem and health status. Populations from Poland (Spała, Miłomłyn, Rychtal),...
The research was conducted on the external spoil heap of the 'Piaseczno' Sulphur Mine (southern Poland). This paper aimed to determine the quality of wood in 40−year−old Scots pine trees planted onto the external spoil heap of the mine, in the scope of forest reclamation, depending on the soil substrate and employed reclamation treatments. The investigations were carried out at one−are circular trial...
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...
Different methods of logging slash management (LSM) and methods of soil preparation (MSP) can create different conditions for the growth of forest trees. This occurs through variation in soil aeration, tree nutrition or microbial conditions. These factors are modified by climate, soil fertility, treats from insects or fungal pathogens and renewed species. The aim of this study was to compare effects...
Awareness of the importance of the presence of deadwood in forest ecosystems has increased in recent decades. Today, deadwood is not only recognized as a key element in carbon sequestration, nutrient supply and water retention, but is also known to be a reservoir of saproxylic species (species associated with the decay of wood on living and dead trees). The amount of deadwood in clear−cut forest is...
In the nurseries, Scots pine seedlings that show symptoms of the damping−off usually die. Rhizoctonia solani, a rapidly growing fungus, is one of the pathogens that infect the roots of plants. The aims of this study were: (1) to evaluate the susceptibility of R. solani and saprotrophic fungi Mortierella elongata, Trichoderma hamatum and T. rossicum to fungicides, (2) to determine whether yeast isolates...
The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between the quality of habitat and the quality of Scots pine wood. We focused on the wood from mature stands growing on poor habitats on inland dunes in the Notecka Forest and on former farmlands (central and western Poland). We selected 12 trees, from which we took wood samples for tree ring investigation. We determined the age of trees, width...
The study objectives included: i) determination of the mass and green density of pulpwood (wood+bark) and ii) comparison of the changes in these parameters during 14−day−long storage period. The experiment was conducted between 15 and 28 July 2014 and the material was taken from the 67 year−old Scots pine stand (Tuchola Forest District, northern Poland). Using the Urich method, 30 model trees were...
The aim of the study was to determine the impact of land relief on site index and growth parameters (height, diameter, slenderness) of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) stands on inland dunes in the Toruń Basin (N Poland). The study was conducted on 150 plots situated on north− and south−facing dune slopes (54 pairs of twin plots) as well as in intra−dune depressions (42 plots). Height and diameter of...
The main aim of this study was to analyze the variability of width as well as content of stable oxygen and carbon isotopes, and radiocarbon in Pinus sylvestris L. tree rings. Analysed Scots pine stand grew on the fresh mixed coniferous forest habitat type on site located in the vicinity of the power plant in Łaziska Górne (southern Poland). The combined usage of tree ring width and isotopic data allowed...
Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) is economically the most important tree species in Polish forestry. Congeneric pine stands have a quite low level of biodiversity, and logging with clear sites may even cause their further decline. It is very important to discover the influence of clear−cuttings in managed pine stands on different groups of organisms. One of them are bats which play an important role...
