The article presents the size and weight of needles in 30−year−old Scots pine stands over one year with regard to the site conditions in which they grow (fresh mixed coniferous and fresh coniferous habitats). Two rectangular 1−hectare sample plots, which differed from one another only with the habitat type, were set up in Maszewo forestry in the Cybinka Forest District (western Poland). The plots...
The aim of the study is to analyse the size and efficiency of assimilation apparatus of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestis L.) using the site index model for unthinned pine stands (Model Pinus). The size of the assimilation apparatus was regarded in terms of mass of the twigs covered with needles (Ugc) and mass of needles (Ic). It reaches maximum values at the age of 20−25 years, then dynamically decreases...
The aim of the research was to determine the impact of selected habitat and age features on the qualitative properties of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.). The research was carried out on forest stands from the Olesno, Wymiarki and Kalisz Pomorski forest districts (western Poland). The collected data provided information on technical and dimensional properties as well as quality classes for logs from...
The research was carried out in the economic and natural Forest Reserve ‘Yertys Ormany’ in Pavlodarsk Oblast (Kazakhstan) in 2018. In the middle of May, two barrier traps of the ‘Netocia’ type (30, in total) were installed on each research plot damaged by wind, fire and great pine web – spinning pine sawfly – Acantholyda posticalis Mats. Insects were caught every month, from mid−June to mid−August...
Scots pine is the dominant forest tree species in Poland covering 58.0% of the forest area and constituting 61.1% of timber resources. Theoretically, all types of cuttings can be used in pine stands, but the purpose of the paper is to analyse the share of the main groups of assortments obtained from such stands with the use of: clear, group and gradual cuttings. It should be remembered that all types...
One of the main tasks for the forest managers is to form the highly productive stands, and it is mainly performed by applying intermediate cuttings during the stand development. As the impact of thinning on the premature Scots pine, commercially most important species in Lithuania, has not been sufficiently investigated yet, our objective was to evaluate the impact of such treatments on the growth...
Ectomycorrhizal communities associated with Pinus sylvestris growing on dry coniferous forest habitat after the fire were studied. In order to investigate the fire effect on ectomycorrhizal fungi and changes of soil parameters in the upper (0−15 cm) soil layer three study plots were established: 1 – the control, 2 – fire zone left for artificial renewal (with the economic method of renewal) and 3...
The objectives of the study was to investigate and compare the characteristics of oak advance−growth of various age present under Scots pine canopy and growing on the mesic mixed coniferous (BMśw) or mesic mixed deciduous (LMśw) forest site types. The study was conducted in Kolumna Forest District (central Poland) in 21 Scots pine stands ca. 90 years of age, and with a well−developed oak advance−growth...
Although modelling of the diameter at the breast height (DBH) distributions has long history, theoretical discrete distributions have not so far been used for this purpose. In this study we use measurements covering 25 years (six inventories) without silvicultural influence on 14 even−aged Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) stands to develop the DBH distribution models. Analysed stands are located in...
The paper describes a case study of thinning experiment established in 1976 with a use of random block design in 21−year−old Scots pine stand in Janów Lubelski Forest District (south−eastern Poland). The stand was subjected to no thinning (control variant K), weak thinning with removal of 10% of basal area (variant S1), strong thinning with removal of 30% of basal area (variant S3) and extreme thinning,...
Badania miały na celu określenie wpływu wybranych cech środowiska na skład gatunkowy oraz niektóre cechy osobnicze owadów kambio- i ksylofagicznych zasiedlających pniaki sosnowe na terenie Nadleśnictwa Zwierzyniec. Prace terenowe przeprowadzono w okresie od 15 lipca do 3 września 2014 roku. Badania przeprowadzono w dwóch wydzieleniach na 29 powierzchniach i 66 pniakach. Łącznie w wyniku badań zebrano...
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...
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...
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...
