The main objective of the research was to evaluate the incremental response of Douglas fir and Scots pine subjected to strong environmental stress to variable thermal and precipitation conditions. We also attempted to determine periods of tree−ring width reduction caused by strong anthropopressure associated with the activities of nearby industrial plants, which are burdensome for the environment...
The objective of the study was to determine the quantitative and valuable potential of wood resources of black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) and Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) in individual regional directorates of the State Forests (RDSFs) in Poland. We used data from the State Forests Information System database (values for the end of 2014) to determine the amount of the resources of the analysed...
The objective of the study was to analyse the site index (SI) of Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) stands in relation to the forest habitat type, soil type and relief characteristics. We utilised information available in the Information System of the State Forests in Poland that included selected parameters describing habitat conditions and dendrometric characteristics of Douglas fir stands. In...
The level of damage to the cell membranes is a sign of aging of the seeds and a decrease in their viability. Conductometric seed testing method indirectly utilizes uncontrolled leakage of ions from seeds with damaged cell membranes to assess their viability. This involves the use of an electrical conductivity of the aqueous solution, in which seeds are soaked. The research was conducted in the years...
Drewno to priorytetowy surowiec dla przemysłu celulozowego i energetycznego. Źródłem surowcowym są lasy. Powierzchnia lasów w Polsce, z roku na rok, nieustannie wzrasta. Wzrost lesistości od roku 1945 wynosi 8,4%. Przyrost ten jest wynikiem zalesiania gruntów użytkowanych przez rolnictwo i nieużytków [1]. W monografii przedstawiono budowę mikroskopową i makroskopową drewna sosny zwyczajnej Pinus sylvestris...
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...
Since the beginning of XIX century a considerable number of Douglas fir populations from North America were introduced to many European countries. In France, Douglas fir is still going to increase significantly its participation in growing stock and wood harvest. There are also some countries (e.g. the Netherlands), where the interest in breeding and silviculture of Douglas fir have been decreased...
The aim of study was to characterize Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) commercial stands and their influence on the forest floor plant communities. Study plots were performed in different regions of the Czech Republic. In total 44 plots were arranged in older Douglas fir stands with well developed forest floor vegetation. For the comparison, the study plots were also established in...
Paper analyses relationships between radial growth and seven crown−related parameters (crown length, relative length, width, slenderness, projection area and volume as well as single tree space) for ten alien and native tree species growing in 'common garden' conditions in the WULS−SGGW Forest Experimental Station in Rogów (central Poland). Significant correlation was found between 10− and 15−years...
Douglas−fir is the most important introduced forest tree species in Poland. It is included into the frame of the breeding program that needs to test the selected objects. In the described trial the families of 14 plus trees are being tested. They are half−sib families from the open pollination. The significant differences between the families were stated in case of the diameter at the breast height...
The history of research on tree species of alien origin began in Germany at the beginning of the nineteenth century, when chancellor Bismarck inspired by information about John Booth – who introduced Douglas fir into Europe – became closely interested in that subject matter (North American trees species were characterised by extraordinary productivity). On 15th June 1880, Bernhard Danckelmann – director...
