Viability of thinning sessile oak stands by girdling
The effects of girdling were analysed in a sessile oak (Quercus petraea Matts. Leibl.) forest with an 80-year-old coppice with standard structure in northern Spain. The study evaluated the viability of girdling as an alternative to felling trees during crown thinning. Eighty-four direct competitors of selected future crop trees were girdled by double notching and peeling. Three years after gird...
متن کاملAttributes of Successionally Stable Even-aged Oak Stands
INTRODUCTION Oak-dominated forests of the Central and Eastern United States have generally not been regarded as suited to uneven-aged silviculture (Roach and Gingrich 1968, Sander and Clark 1971). In fact, several attempts to apply the selection method of reproduction cutting in oak-dominated stands have resulted in compositional shifts toward more shade tolerant species (Trimble 1970). Given t...
متن کاملOak seedling growth and ectomycorrhizal colonization are less in eastern hemlock stands infested with hemlock woolly adelgid than in adjacent oak stands.
Invasive, non-indigenous, phytophagous insects have caused widespread declines in several dominant tree species. The decline in dominant tree species may lead to cascading effects on other tree and microbial species and their interactions, affecting forest recovery following the decline. In the eastern USA, eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis (L.) Carr) is declining because of infestation by the ...
متن کاملSoil Water, Temperature Regime and Growth of Young Oak Stands Grown in Lysimeters Subjected to Drought Stress and Air Warming
In a 3-year lysimeter experiment we investigated how young trees of Quercus robur, Q. petraea and Q. pubescens, growing either on acidic loamy sand or calcareous sandy loam, responded to an elevation in air temperature by 1-2°C and drought periods lasting several weeks. As intended, the water potentials were clearly lower in drought-treated soil than in the control treatment. Decreased evapotra...
متن کاملVariability of soil chemical characteristics in Oak stands with different dieback
Determination of soil chemical properties variability that affected tree tolerance to stresses can help to manage this environmental phenomenon. In this investigation, for detection of this variation trend, area of affected decline oak trees divided to four groups of control (without Oak decline), slight, middle and severe Oak decline based on tree and branch number per soil surface unit. In ea...
