In the Beskid Żywiecki, the combination of abiotic, biotic and anthropogenic factors unfavourable for the growth of trees led to the dieback of spruce stands. The intensification of this process began after the hurricane in November 2004, followed by years of negative climatic water balance. The deterioration of tree growth conditions occurred after the drought in July 2006 and damage caused by the...
The dynamics of decline of Norway spruce forests in the Beskid Śląski Mts. (S Poland) in a 2007−2016 period was analysed based on data from the State Forests Information System. For that purpose we used modified growth model and wind damage risk model. The harvested timber volume (salvage cuts) exceeded the allowable harvest modeled with the stand growth model by 270% in years 2007−2010 (earlier period)...
One of the tree species appearing after a decline of Norway spruce Picea abies (L.) H. Karst. in the Silesian Beskid Mountains is Silver Birch Betula pendula Roth. Therefore our study was aimed at evaluating this birch regeneration and the dynamics of changes resulting from experimental cutting. Measurements and inventories of trees were conducted on research plots located in a ten-year old birch...
The study was conducted in 2015 in six spruce stands situated in different forest districts administratively belonging to the Regional Directorate of Forests State in Krosno. Each spruce population was represented by 30 trees and assessed in terms of their current health status. Genetic analyses were performed based on shoot samples from each tree using nine nuclear DNA markers and one mitochondrial...
Considered to be the most natural of all other Polish stands Picea abies in Białowieża Forest has suffered severely of bark beetle damages for decades. In order to find out some historical events in native Norway spruce stands diversity at regional level, we carried out the study on polymorphism with DNA markers and performed Principal Coordinate Analysis (PCoA) on the basis of genetic distance matrix...
The lack of effective methods of forest protection against bark beetles in Norway spruce stands was the reason for undertaking the studies aimed at the assessment of efficacy of pheromone traps Trinet P that act as an ‘attract and kill' system to reduce the population of spruce bark beetle Ips typographus (Col.: Curculionidae: Scolytinae). The Trinet P trap consists of a triangular stand, on which...
The study on the structure of Norway spruce old−growth stands of original provenience in upper mountain zone was carried out in a nature reserve ‘Śnieżnik Kłodzki', located in the Lądek Zdrój Forest District (SW Poland). The fieldwork was conducted in three spruce stands located at the altitude of 1,215 and 1,235 m a.s.l. The breast height diameters (dbh) of living trees were characterized. The aim...
The aim of the research was to assess the degree of damage to spruce trees and stands and to study their growth responses to the changing environmental conditions in the Sowie Mountains (Central Sudety Mts.). To assess the degree of damage to trees, three methods based on crown characteristics were used. The types of growth responses of trees to changing environmental conditions were additionally...
This paper addresses problems associated with the silvicultural planning in the Norway spruce mire forests (Sphagno girgensohnii−Piceetum Polak. 1962) that are characterized by an uneven−aged structure and a high degree of irregularity at small scale. Based on detailed inventory using 30 permanent circular sample plots in two control units located in the Augustów Forest (NE Poland), the BDq method...
The purpose of the paper is to report on the structure and the potential production of tree stands in the belt of dense forest in the locality of Pilsko, which were formed as a result of connecting natural processes with various methods of cuttings. In two stands single cutting harvesting was applied, corresponding to single tree selection cutting (Einzelplenterung in German). In the third stand there...
