Resprouting multi-stemmed woody plants form an important component of the vegetation in many ecosystems, but a clear methodology for reliable measurement their size and quick, non-destructive estimation biomass carbon stock is lacking. Our goal was to find minimum number sprouts, i.e., most easily obtainable, sprout parameters that should be measured accurate estimates. Using data 5 common temperate species, we modelled as function increasing sprouts interaction with different parameters....
Abstract Removal of canopy trees by logging causes shifts in herbaceous diversity and increases invasibility the forest understory. However, disturbed (cut) many species do not die but resprout from remaining parts. Because sprouts develop vigorously immediately after disturbances, we hypothesized that logged offset changes richness layer eliminating rise resource availability during time before regeneration seeds develops. To test this, analyzed data on vegetation sprout biomass collected a...
Coppicing was widespread throughout Europe for many centuries but largely abandoned in the second half of 19th century. Currently, there has been a renewed interest coppicing biomass production and nature conservation. We studied differences soil chemistry tree growth between active coppices to highlight impacts coppice restoration on fertility tree. Stand structure, collected samples cores were compared 46 research plots temperate Turkey. The set as actively managed stand. In our study no...
Natural regeneration after disturbances is a key phase of forest development, which determines the trajectory successional changes in tree species composition and diversity. Regenerating trees can originate from either seeds or sprouts produced by disturbed with sprouting ability. Although both strategies often develop co-occur disturbance, they tend to affect development differently due significant functional differences. However, origin rarely distinguished post-disturbance surveys...
European floodplain forest is facing increasingly frequent and severe drought events related with ongoing climate change. Moreover, this ecosystem type was frequently affected by river regulation, leading to groundwater table lowering; however, revitalization has, in some locations, achieved restoration of levels. In study, we investigated the growth–climate sensitivity growth modulation after groundwater-level manipulation for Fraxinus angustifolia Vahl. Quercus robur L. one most important...
Knowledge of the quantity woody biomass poplar short-rotation coppice (SRC) on agricultural land is a basic tool for management decisions like rotation length, volume production and financial balance sheet economic activities. The expansion SRC requires fast, reliable, easily applicable cheap method estimating yield, but existing methods are based labour-demanding lengthy measurements all shoots per tree. objective this study was to verify novel rapid estimation that uses averaged attributes...
Abstract An increasing number of people all around the world have become interested in remarkable and magnificent trees recent years. Accessible databases champion are available. Unfortunately, Czech Republic does not a single database or trees. We old tradition to find describe an monumental our country. In 1899 first book was issued about it. Many biggest specimens already registered Monumental Trees database, which is run by Nature Conservation Agency Republic, total 25,598 memorable...
The contribution presents results of terrain mapping monumental trees in the area floodplain forests along confluence Thaya and Morava rivers Czech Republic.The study region is located within Lower Biosphere Reserve part NATURA 2000.Therefore, this represents an important object from viewpoint recreational landscape utilization, where trees, so-called veterans, can increase tourist potential region, especially context overall decline European landscape.Currently, are disappearing mainly due...
Climate change shifts tree growth phenology and dynamics in temperate forests. However, there is still little information on how warming climate changes intra-annual patterns these affect the productivity carbon uptake of trees. To address this knowledge gap, we used high-precision data from automatic dendrometers to quantify impacts unusually warm weather 2022 (hot year) phenology, aboveground biomass (AGB) production eight common species (both conifers broadleaved) Czech Republic....
During the last century almost two-thirds of all elms were lost due to Dutch elm disease.Therefore, are an endangered species with a lasting lack knowledge about ecosystem functions in forest stands.The study describes several above-and below-ground tree parameters and their changes after simulation thinning one young stand dominant Ulmus laevis Pall. Czech Republic.The distribution leaves was measured using 'cloud' technique.The absorptive root area aid modified earth impedance method...
