Abstract Tree species can influence biogeochemistry through variation in the quantity and chemistry of their litter, associated impacts on soil heterotrophic community. However, role that different plant traits play these processes is not well understood, nor it clear whether effects soils largely reflect a gymnosperm vs. angiosperm contrast. Using replicated, long‐term monoculture plot experiment, we examined among 14 tree 30 years after establishment, assessed litter vis‐à‐vis such...
1. There are conflicting reports concerning the adaptive features of tree populations originating from cold, high‐altitude environments. We hypothesize that such trees will possess be demonstrated in a common environment, as elevated rates net CO 2 exchange, needle nitrogen concentration and high proportional biomass allocation to roots. To test this hypothesis we measured seed properties 54 Norway spruce [ Picea abies (L.) Karst.] located along eight altitudinal transects (from c. 600...
There is abundant evidence that evergreen conifers living at high elevations or latitudes have longer-lived needles than trees of the same species elsewhere. This pattern likely caused by influence low temperature in combination with related factors such as a short growing season and nutrient availability. Because it not known to what degree patterns result from phenotypic versus genotypic variation, we evaluated needle longevity for common-garden-grown lowland populations European Scots...
Initial growth of germinated seeds is an important life history stage, critical for establishment and succession in forests. Important questions remain regarding the differences among species early potential arising from shade tolerance. In addition, role leaf habit shaping relationships underlying tolerance-related seedling remains unresolved. this study we examined variation morphological physiological traits seedlings 10 forest tree European temperate zone varying tolerance (broadleaved...
• A wide variety of transparent materials are currently used for minirhizotron tubes. We tested the null hypothesis that composition does not influence root morphology and dynamics. Minirhizotron data were compared glass, acrylic butyrate tubes in apple (Malus domestica) a study with six forest tree species. Root phenology generally similar among Apple production was greatest against glass; these roots became pigmented later lived longer than near or butyrate. Roots faster next to acrylic....
Mechanisms of shade tolerance in tree seedlings, and thus growth shade, may differ by leaf habit vary with ontogeny following seed germination. To examine early responses seedlings to relation morphological, physiological biomass allocation traits, we compared 10 temperate species, varying their (broadleaved versus needle-leaved) observed when growing two contrasting light treatments - open (about 20% full sunlight) 5% sunlight). We analyzed its response using allometric relationships. also...
Tree populations are typically adapted to their local environments, and this adaptive ability is crucial for the maintenance of resilient forest ecosystems. Norway spruce an important tree species in temperate boreal forests Europe, but it highly vulnerable climate change-associated risks. The aim study was investigate associations between growth, phenology a 33-year-old common garden experiment testing progeny 48 from elevational gradients within two European mountain ranges - Carpathian...
The isoenzymatic studies performed on nine <em>Picea abies</em> H. Karst populations from Poland, indicated considerable genetic variation among investigated stands. Genetic similarities have demonstrated a clear pattern of geographic variability. Three the studied (Zwierzyniec, Nowe Ramuki and Orawa) shown markedly diverse characteristics compared to remaining populations. mountain formed one group with two related subgroups. mean number alleles per locus (A / L = 2,22) level...
Abstract The Kaszuby Lake District is located beyond the natural range of Norway spruce, however its share in local forest stands considerable (14.8%) and vitality growth are here not less than within range. study presents results stock-taking regeneration spruce this region year 2002 2012 relevant silvicultural recommendations. stock was taken using electronic database Regional Headquarters State Forests Gdańsk. put into following categories: seedlings (height below 0.5 m), lower advanced...
Abstract The paper investigates the biometric characteristics natural Norway spruce ( Picea abies (L.) Karst.) regeneration in Kaszuby Lake District, which is beyond acknowledged range, with Augustów Forest situated deep within Warmia, at edge of range and West-Pomerania District far range. For each region, four tree stands similar light conditions on forest floor were selected, including two cambisols brunic arenosols. All sites contained naturally regenerating spruces 16–17 years age....
