Pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.) is among the major managed tree species in Europe. In Poland, oak woodlands cover 6.9% of forest area. Furthermore, the significance of native oaks for Polish forestry is rising because the Polish National Forest Strategy predicts a growth of forest cover from 28.5% to 33% by year 2050 with the primary focus on the increase in contribution of deciduous tree species...
The seeds of forest trees usually transfer numerous fungi species, including pathogens, facultative parasites and saprotrophs. The aim of the present work was to determine qualitative and quantitative composition of fungi inhabiting the seeds of 10 trees species i.e.: birch (Betula pendula Roth.), beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), red oak (Quercus rubra L.), common oak (Quercus robur L.), sycamore maple...
Phytophthora and Pythium species (Oomycota) are known to be serious pathogens of forest trees. Little is known, however, about their presence in Polish oak forests and their role in the oak decline, especially in the flooded areas. The aim of this study was (1) to detect and compare populations of microorganisms from Oomycota and fungi in roots and soil of healthy and declining pedunculate 30−126...
In the situation of limited number of pesticides being approved for use in forest nurseries it is necessary to examine new products available on European market that stimulate growth and improve resilience and vitality of seedlings as a part of intgrated plant protection program. Paper presents test of fertilizer Actifos used in seven Polish nurseries in order to stimulate the growth of seedlings...
The biomass productivity of individual trees at age 14 years was investigated in the experiment with 8 provenances and 186 half−sib families of pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.). The aim of the study was to develop allometric equations and estimate heritability of tree biomass. We sampled 28 model trees and measured dry mass of their components, including roots (on 14 trees). A decreasing share of...
The paper presents the study on the height of 10−12−year−old pedunculate oak regeneration in clear−cut gaps in three fertility variants: mezotrophic of poorer productivity (fresh mixed coniferous forest – BMśw), mezotrophic of higher productivity (fresh mixed deciduous forest – LMśw) and eutrophic (fresh deciduous forest – Lśw). BMśw and LMśw were represented by two locations: Gostynin (G) and Parczew...
The study compares height growth of pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.) undergrowth in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) stands and in open canopy conditions. Material was collected in 20 Scots pine stands with well−developed pedunculate oak undergrowth located in north−eastern Poland, representing the mixed deciduous forest type (Querco roboris−Pinetum). Fraction of oak undergrowth with slow height...
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...
The study presents spatial variation in the height of a 12−year−old oak regeneration in the north−south and east−west gradients in the cut patches with a similar width (28 m) but differing in length (33−70 m), with the longer side facing east−west direction. A comparison of the cut patches with an area of 7, 11 and 16 ares showed that oaks in large patches were on average 25% higher than in small...
This study was carried out in north−eastern Poland in 20 Scots pine stands with well−developed lower layer of pedunculate oak. In each stand, 5 highest oak trees were selected. Basing on the stem analysis, a growth model for oak undergrowth in Scots pine stands was elaborated. It can be used for determination the height growth rate in relation to the age and height of oak. Obtained model was compared...
The effect of the controlled mycorrhization with the fungus Hebeloma crustuliniforme, the application of fungicides (Bayleton 25 WP, Falcon 450 EC, Nimrod 250 EC and Siarkol Extra 80 WP) in the nursery and the use of two types of substrate (a mixture of sterilized Estonian peat with vermiculite and unsterilized Polish peat with perlite) on the growth, level of infestation by powdery mildew and form...
