Direct seeding has been considered a forest restoration option for centuries. Over the past half century, use of this practice declined in developed countries as regeneration programs have advanced with production quality seedlings that can successfully establish sites. is being reconsidered potential size worldwide program grown because massive deforestation third-world nations and due to global climate change. This review examines direct from number perspectives. First, merits using are...
How much of genetic diversity is desirable in mass production forest reproductive material? material reduces diversity? Relation between and discussed a holistic manner. In industrial plantations, narrow produced at clone level. On the other hand, conservation forestry wide imperative. Beside management goals, level related to rotation cycle ontogeny tree species. Risks failure are lower short rotations fast growing slow species, managed long rotations, reduction increases risk due causes...
This study examined whether the morphological attributes of Austrian pine (Pinus nigra ssp. var. Arnold) seedlings measured in nursery could be used to forecast subsequent field performance over an extended time frame. Seedlings from three seed sources were produced two types containers and bareroot seedbeds. These for array (height, HT; root collar diameter, RCD; shoot height/diameter ratio, HD; dry weight, SDW RDW, respectively; shoot:root S:R; number first order lateral roots, FOLR;...
Research Highlights: One of the ways to improve quality a seedlot used in forest nursery is grading seed by colour. Background and Objectives: The study intended for forest’s engineers owners because it offers an alternative solution seeds improvement before sowing. success establishment program mainly depends on Forest Reproductive Material. At this time usual practices during processing size. This causes lot controversy about possible reduction genetic diversity through directional...
Abstract Purpose of Review Recognizing that in the context global change, tree genetic diversity represents a crucial resource for future forest adaptation, we review and highlight major genetics research achievements past decades biodiversity-rich countries Mediterranean region. For this, conducted bibliometric analysis scientific literature spanning thirty years (1991–2020). Putting together representative regionwide expertise our co-authorship, propose perspectives next decade. Recent...
Changing ecosystem conditions and diverse socio-economical events have contributed to an ingrained presence of non-native tree species (NNTs) in the natural cultural European landscapes. Recent research endeavors focused on different aspects NNTs such as legislation, benefits, risks for forestry, emphasizing that large knowledge gaps remain. As attempt fulfill part these gaps, within PEN-CAFoRR COST Action (CA19128) network, we established open-access questionnaire allows both academic...
Projections of the regional climate model for Southeast Europe generally predict an increasing temperature and a decrease in precipitation, with some local variations. Higher frequency extreme weather events increased flooding can also be expected. This change will, among other things, result changes habitats species distribution, biodiversity. In most cases, forest ecosystems will unable to adapt fast enough keep pace climate. Extreme low precipitation during growing season cause high...
This study compares the relation of initial height and root collar diameter bareroot hardwoods seedlings to survival growth in first year after planting. A total six species used Serbian reforestation programs were tested (four native: Fagus sylvatica, Ulmus laevis, Fraxinus excelsior, Acer pseudoplatanus two exotic: Robinia pseudoacacia, Quercus rubra), at 6 sites with a wide range environmental conditions. Initial seedling equally related field performance better forecasting than survival....
The basis for the present research is an alternative hypothesis about existence of significant differences between morphometric parameters Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) seedlings different color-seed races. experiment was established by planting one-year old container under Kolesov's sword. Ten rows in a 90-fold repetition were planted on 24th October 2017 site left-bank forestry training Voronezh State University Forestry and Technologies (coordinates nodal point: N 51°49'40.3' E...
Serbian spruce (Picea omorika (Pančić) Purk.) is a rare and endangered tertiary relict endemic species, with restricted fragmented natural range in Serbia Bosnia Herzegovina, mainly around the mid-course of Drina river. Since middle 19th century, its declines constantly, followed by decline number mature individuals. The this forest species slow attributed to poor regeneration low competing ability. Given foreseen worsening climate forthcoming decades, can only accelerate. In recent years,...
Planted forests are an important source of various services (economic, environmental, and social) with increasing portion in the total world’s forest area. Genetic diversity is fundamental for success sustainability planted forests. Facing concern reduction genetic forests, this study offers a review evidence on comparisons between levels established by different regeneration methods. A 34 papers comparing natural versus methods 24 tree species examined range markers reviewed. In most...
Seed coat color grading conjecture is also known as Pravdin’s conjecture. To verify the conjecture, we established a long-term field experiment. This data set included unique empirical of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) container-grown seedlings produced from different seed grades, outplanted on post fire site in Voronezh region, Russia. Variables were provided for 10 rows 90 samples each row. These contribute to our understanding germination and growth dynamics size gradings seeds....
This invention is relevant when working as part of optoelectronic systems, including non-destructive quality control forest seeds. The possibility synthesis the ultrafast optical analog-to-digital converter (ADC) providing conversion analog information to digital in sub-GHz range considered. functional scheme ADC, containing technologically well-developed elements given; principle operation described detail. increasing speed ADC make it potentially possible for data processing schemes shown.
This paper considers the method of determining initial orientation navigation and measuring complexes mobile objects. The is based on analytical gyrocompassing, using angular velocity sensors whose measurements are distorted by additive noise, with a priori uncertain statistical characteristics. proposed approach requires small computational costs can be effectively used in development high-precision systems navigation–measurement various
Research Highlights: Forest owners will be able to solve the problem of testing and selection viable forest seeds on location save financial, time, material resources. The possibility integrating non-destructive quality control separation functions in a single portable apparatus is extremely promising. speed contemporary optoelectronic grader limited by slowest component—the mechanical system. Background Objectives: technological process seed establishment design graders based priori...
The choice of revegetating via direct seeding or planting nursery-grown seedlings influences the potential stresses suffered by such as herbivory and drought. outcome balance between both revegetation methods may ultimately depend on how species identity traits seed seedling size interact with environmental conditions. To test this, we will conduct a continental-scale experiment consisting one mini-experiment replicated multiple participants across Europe. Each participant establish site...

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...
