During a three-year survey in 14 forest nurseries Serbia we measured seedlings of 19 species and 96 stocktypes both conifers broadleaves. Seedlings were the for height diameter, subsamples was taken measurements shoot root dry weight, presence mycorrhiza. Results mean values variation morphological attributes are presented compared to Serbian standard quality. We found mycorrhiza on from almost every nursery, seedbed tray. Our results show that current nursery cultural practice need be...
Wild cherry ( Prunus avium L.) is the most important European tree species in family Rosaceae (Russell 2003). It very valuable forest that grows mixed forests Southern, Central and Western Europe. In growing stock of Serbia wild falls into category at risk (Banković et al. 2009) to which not paid enough attention. The researches population structure genetic variability level genotypes and/or populations are basis for knowledge on adaptive potential some area. morphological leaves nine...
Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl., Q. pubescens Willd., and frainetto Ten. grow naturally in sympatry the Landscape of Outstanding Features "Kosmaj" (Mt. Kosmaj) Serbia, Western Balkans. The levels genetic diversity structure populations these species (160 trees total) was assessed by means 14 nuclear microsatellites. number alleles detected overall sample 314, with locus QrZAG90 being most informative one all three (31, 35 36 , respectively). were relatively high (HE = 0.824, 0.834, 0.794 Low...
Abstract Given the importance of urban park forests and protected natural areas in environment, implementation concept genetic conservation is one main ways to save improve this category resources. Forests such as Košutnjak can be considered a refuge for flora fauna by establishing programs certain species, entire ecosystem would better protected. The purpose paper elaborate systematic approach situ forest resources through example four native oak species: pedunculate oak, sessile Hungarian...
One of the main environmental factors that influence plant species and community diversity are soil types, exposure elevation. This study aimed to evaluate differences in leaf size shape Quercus cerris L. along gradients Šumadija region Serbia by using geometric morphometrics methods. The results showed significant between Q. individuals inhabiting sites with different exposures elevations. Individuals growing on nutrient deficient soils had smaller size, elongated petiole, wide blade,...
The paper analyzes the morphological quality parameters of one-year-old sessile oak (Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl) seedlings and their interrelations. Based on performed analyzes, it was determined which measured parameters, with minimal time resources spent, gives most accurate estimate one-year old seedlings. For conducted research, were produced in nursery Institute Forestry Belgrade, uniform environmental conditions from seed collected stand RS-2-2-qpe-22-169. same seedbed, sample for...
Austrian pine (Pinus nigra Arnold) seedlings are frequently used for afforestation/reforestation and restoration practice in Serbia. Indeed, the of various stock types produced by almost all forest nurseries Serbia bareroot mostly common. The aim this study is to analyze method sowing density on some morphological characteristics quality one-year-old seedlings. Sowing rows random across seedbed space were performed. In both cases, (R1 - 8 g m-1, R2 40 m-2) half recommended (S1 4 S2 20...
Aiming to produce forest reproductive material at the family level, we tested quality of twenty Fraxinus angustifolia Vahl half-sib lines in nursery experiment. We measured height (HT) and root collar diameter (DIA) one-year old seedlings, monitored germination rate mortality during first growing season. Seeds 20 originating from Sombor area (north Serbia) were sown seedbed on autumn 2016. The seed dormancy was not broken all seeds equally, resulting with un-uniform over a two months period....
Prirodne populacije divlje trešnje u Srbiji nalaze se blizu južne granice areala ove značajne šumske vrste. Opstanak rubnih provenijencija, i široj regiji jugoistoka Europe, ugrožen je uslijed promjene klime, male veličine populacija, niske kompetitivnosti vrste dr. Zbog toga preporučuje umjetno potpomaganje obnove populacija uz proširivanje njihove genske raznolikosti. Iako poznavanje razine strukture genetske raznolikosti preduvjet njene učinkovite konzervacije korištenja, istraživanja...
Querqus pubescens has relatively wide distribution in Europe, but dominated forests are quite common South while they confined to warm microclimatic conditions central Europe. On the edge of Panonnian basin Q. is mainly found on its native range, isolated populations which have an important role examining adaptive potential, especially considering that forest-steppe and sub-mediterranean climate predicted be dominant some regions Central Europe future. There very limit knowledge about forest...
Quercus pubescens Willd. is a deciduous species that can retain leaves in the winter either as dead, standing (marcescence), or living, winter-green leaves. The retention of green through rare continental areas. Winter-green were observed on one-year-old seedlings Q. 2020 nursery Faculty Forestry lasted until end April 2021. photosynthetic activity photosystem II was measured using rapid light curve method based modulated pulse chlorophyll fluorescence. We assessed potential across range...
Native species of forest fruit trees represent an important component biodi?versity, but are often threatened by the effects various biotic and abiotic factors. In Landscape outstanding features ?Kosmaj?, following were recorded: wild cherry, pear, service tree tree, which among endangered or vulnerable in this area. order to assess genetic potential pear mother from Kosmaj area, a generative progeny test was established nursery Faculty Forestry. The variability morphological characteristics...
Forests of primeval character in Europe usually receive the highest protection status. The importance these ecosystems is highlighted BIO2023 Strategy, which outlines specific guidelines for identification and forests within European Union. Endemic characteristic Europe, such as pure beech forests, are facing numerous threatening factors context climate change considered one most endangered habitats. Efforts to preserve enhance forest ecosystems, an initial step, involve conservation...
The gene pool assessment of woody species has multiple significance in biotechnology. This research paper studied the morphological traits white willow leaves Landscapes Outstanding Features (LOF) "Great War Island". variability leaf length, width, area, and circumference, as well petiole length tested trees were determined. Different parameters show varying degrees variability. grouped into clusters based on average distance parameters. results provide a realistic basis for evaluating great...
The regeneration of oak forests in the hilly and mountainous areas is one most serious complex problems forestry practitioners face Serbia. success depends on individual or combined (often synergistic) influence numerous biotic, abiotic, management factors. While there significant knowledge experience about this process practice so far, still great uncertainty regarding its proper execution control over influencing paper critically evaluated available literature current experiences from...
Beech is the most important tree species in forests of Serbia. However, despite its significance, taxonomic status beech Serbia unclear. Morphology cupules can be successfully used to distinguish and within taxa. In this paper we report results on morphology, measuring same attributes reported by Mišić (1955): 1) Length longest valve cupule, 2) Width that (at widest point), 3) Distance between base peduncle, 4) cupule without 5) peduncle. The length peduncle from 12 populations are range for...
