Scots pine stands in central Poland are now seen to be experiencing dynamic development of lower layers formed by oaks. The under−canopy natural renewal taking place in this way is sometimes characterised by good silvicultural quality, and could therefore be taken advantage of in the process of stand conversion. The study assess the quality of existing undergrowth layers of oak present in older stands...
The stand volume is one of the forest inventory characteristic determined during the field work aimed at planning operations in the tree stands. Determining the optimal rotation age is an important decision issue in the forest management. In turn, the key factor that determines the choice of the method for determining the rotation age of the tree stands is the production target. Depending on the rotation...
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...
An analysis of the occurrence of saprophagous Diplopoda and zoophagous Chilopoda 6−7 years after the hurricane of 2002 was performed on 12 research plots established for this purpose in Pisz Forest District (northern Poland) in Scots pine stands with a different scale of disturbance. Three plots were selected per each stand disturbance variant: A – severe disturbance (approx. 10% of survived trees),...
Black cherry (Prunus serotina) was planted in forests in Central Europe in the hope of producing valuable timber and after the first disappointments, in the hope of improving the soils of coniferous plantations. Nevertheless, an unequivocal evaluation of its effect on soil environment is still a controversial issue. The aim of this study was to determine a temporary fluctuation of selected soil properties...
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...
Recent research show that image−derived point clouds (IPC) can be successfully utilized in the context of estimation of selected forest parameters. However there are still some topics for further investigation in the context of using archival data. Particularly, in case of forest stands in Poland the number of such studies is limited. This study investigates the usefulness of airborne IPC for estimation...
Based on literature review, the occurrence and biology of the sharp−dentated bark beetle Ips acuminatus (Gyll.) in Scots pine stands of Europe was presented. The economic significance of this species in Poland over the past 50 years was also characterized, including the size of the damage caused as a result of trees infestation. The sharp−dentated bark beetle belongs to the most dangerous pest of...
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,...
The selection of the rotation time of a stand (from planting to final felling), i.e. the age at which stand reaches harvest maturity, is a key decision in forest management due to, inter alia, the amount and value of carbon stored in the forest. In this context, the basis for the economic optimisation of the rotation age of forests is to define the goal of forest production and desirable state of...
The aim of the study was to compare the growth of plantations established with manual and mechanical methods using planting material of various age. The experiment was established in 2000, in the Góra Śląska Forest District (W Poland) on a former farmland. One− and two−years−old Scots pine seedlings were used. Applied planting methods included: conventional planting bar, German Huff's dibble, trowel,...
The aim of the study was to analyse the changes in abundance and species composition of dung beetles (coprophagous Scarabaeoidea) inhabiting Scots pine stands in various stage of the development. Beetles were collected in baited traps in Człuchów Forest, Pomeranian Lake District (NW Paland). In total we collected 87,596 specimens representing 41 species (tab. 2). The structure of dung beetle communities...
W 2014 roku prowadzono badania nad fauną chrząszczy saproksylicznych, w tym korników w siedlisku borów sosnowych Puszczy Kampinoskiej. Badania objęły trzy powierzchnie reprezentujące dojrzałe drzewostany ze starodrzewem sosnowym w obszarach ochrony ścisłej Sieraków i Kaliszki. Chrząszcze były odławiane na każdej powierzchni w okresie IV – VII za pomocą pułapek ekranowych IBL-2, przegrodowych IBL-5...
Jednym z głównych problemów ochrony lasu są powtarzające się gradacje szkodników pierwotnych sosny powodujące uszkodzenia drzewostanów sosnowych, a w skrajnych przypadkach prowadzące do zagrożenia trwałości drzewostanów. Dla praktyki leśnej podstawą podejmowania skutecznych działań ochronnych jest właściwa lokalizacja pierwotnych ognisk gradacyjnych, których prawidłowe wskazanie oraz znajomość mechanizmów...
Prezentowane wyniki uzyskano w czasie realizacji projektu badawczego dotyczącego różnorodności gatunkowej owadów i grzybów związanych z martwym drewnem w lasach dębowych i sosnowych (realizowanego w latach 2012-2015). Obserwacje prowadzono w Lasach Państwowych w drzewostanach gospodarczych i gospodarczych wyłączonych z zabiegów sanitarnych oraz w Drawieńskim Parku Narodowym. W każdym z wymienionych...
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...
