Background and Purpose: Since the last decade, the amount and periodicity of European beech seed crops in Croatia have been disrupted, and thus the regeneration of its forests has become increasingly questionable. The aim of this study was to determine: (1) seed yield variations within and among four European beech populations and its relation with tree crowns projection, (2) variation in seed morphometric traits of the studied populations, and (3) various methods of seed yield estimates. Materials and Methods: Research was carried out in four populations of registered European beech seed stands. Experimental plots 80×60 m in size were established in 2016. Horizontal crown projections were calculated for 25 dominant beech trees at each plot. Seed yield per tree was estimated based on seed traps, and by visual scoring of seeding intensity. On a sample of twenty trees (five trees per population) total seed crops were collected by large nets covering their whole crown projections. Different methods of seed yield estimates were compared. The amount of seed yield per population (number of beechnuts per ha) was estimated as well. The length, width and mass of beechnuts were measured. Data were analysed to establish differences within and between populations. Relationships between seed yield and horizontal crown projection, as well as among seed morphometric traits were analysed. results and Conclusions: The seed trap method overestimated yields when compared with the real yields caught in the large nets. When crown projections were decreased by 25% the seed trap estimation method was improved. A positive correlation between visual scores of seeding intensity and seed yield estimates proved highly unreliable and therefore inaccurate. The results showed high variability of seed yields within and between the populations. The average yields per population varied from 2.4 to 5.9 million seeds·ha−1. A positive and significant correlation between seed yields and crown horizontal projections was shown (R2=0.6285), indicating that stand density is an important factor for seed production. A positive and statistically significant correlation between beechnut mass and width was obtained (R2=0.5875).

background and purpose: The paper presents the forest vegetation of periodically flooded and wet forests of hardwood tree species along the Mirna River (Istria, Croatia). The main objective was to study the older and less influential stands, and to compare them among themselves and with related syntaxa of the Mediterranean and continental area. Materials and Methods: The research was conducted on the basis of 33 new phytocoenological relevés and 12 from previous studies, according to the principles of the standard Central European Phytocoenological School. Results and Conclusions: Based on 45 phytocoenological relevés two main vegetation types were found. In the lowest and periodically flooded habitats grow forests dominated by Fraxinus angustifolia and numerous hygrophilous species. In somewhat higher and drier localities, but with a high level of ground waters, grow mixed forests of Quercus robur, Fraxinus angustifolia, Ulmus minor and Carpinus betulus, with a greater presence of mesophilous species. The paper analyzes their mutual relationship, phytocoenological affiliation, as well as their position with regard to the related syntaxa of the Mediterranean and continental area. The results suggest isolation and a transitional character of the studied forests, which is a consequence of the biogeographical position in the north Mediterranean, of the ecological conditions, and to a lesser extent of anthropogenic influence.

Background and Purpose: Biogeochemical process‑based models use a mathematical representation of physical processes with the aim of simulating and predicting past or future state of ecosystems (e.g. forests). Such models, usually executed as computer programs, rely on environmental variables as drivers, hence they can be used in studies of expected changes in environmental conditions. Process‑based models are continuously developed and improved with new scientific findings and newly available datasets. In the case of forests, long-term tree chronologies, either from monitoring or from tree-ring data, offer valuable means for testing modelling results. Information from different tree cores can cover a wide range of ecological and meteorological conditions and as such provide satisfactory temporal and spatial resolution to be used for model testing and improvement. Materials and Methods: In our research, we used tree-ring data as a ground truth to test the performance of Biome-BGCMuSo (BBGCMuSo) model in two distinct pedunculate oak forest areas, Kupa River Basin (called Pokupsko Basin) and Spacva River Basin, corresponding to a wetter and a drier site, respectively. Comparison of growth estimates from two different data sources was performed by estimating the dynamics of standardized basal area increment (BAI) from tree-ring data and standardized net primary productivity of stem wood (NPPw) from BBGCMuSo model. The estimated growth dynamics during 2000-2014 were discussed regarding the site-specific conditions and the observed meteorology. Results: The results showed similar growth dynamic obtained from the model at both investigated locations, although growth estimates from tree-ring data revealed differences between wetter and drier environment. This indicates higher model sensitivity to meteorology (positive temperature anomalies and negative precipitation anomalies during vegetation period) than to site-specific conditions (groundwater, soil type). At both locations, Pokupsko and Spacva, BBGCMuSo showed poor predictive power in capturing the dynamics obtained from tree‑ring data. Conclusions: BBGCMuSo model, similar to other process-based models, is primarily driven by meteorology, although site-specific conditions are an important factor affecting lowland oak forests’ growth dynamics. When possible, groundwater information should be included in the modelling of lowland oak forests in order to obtain better predictions. The observed discrepancies between measured and modelled data indicate that fixed carbon allocation, currently implemented in the model, fails in predicting growth dynamics of NPP. Dynamic carbon allocation routine should be implemented in the model to better capture tree stress response and growth dynamics.
背景和目的:基于生物地球化学过程的模型使用物理过程的数学表示,目的是模拟和预测生态系统(如森林)过去或未来的状态。这类模型通常以计算机程序的形式执行,依赖于环境变量作为驱动因素,因此它们可用于研究环境条件的预期变化。基于过程的模型随着新的科学发现和新的可用数据集不断发展和改进。就森林而言,从监测或从树木年轮数据得来的长期树木年表,为检验模拟结果提供了宝贵的手段。来自不同树芯的信息可以涵盖广泛的生态和气象条件,因此可以提供令人满意的时空分辨率,用于模型测试和改进。材料与方法:本研究以树木年轮数据为基础,在库帕河流域(Pokupsko Basin)和斯派瓦河流域(Spacva River Basin)两个不同的有花序栎林地区(分别对应湿润和干燥的地点)测试了生物群落- bgcmuso (BBGCMuSo)模型的性能。通过利用BBGCMuSo模型估算标准化基带面积增量(BAI)动态和标准化干材净初级生产力(NPPw)动态,比较两种不同数据来源的生长估算值。根据场地特定条件和观测到的气象,讨论了2000-2014年期间估计的生长动态。结果:尽管树木年轮数据的生长估计显示了湿润和干燥环境之间的差异,但结果表明,从模型中获得的生长动态在两个调查地点相似。这表明模式对气象(植被期的正温度异常和负降水异常)的敏感性高于对特定地点条件(地下水、土壤类型)的敏感性。在Pokupsko和Spacva这两个地点,BBGCMuSo在捕获树木年轮数据获得的动态方面表现出较差的预测能力。结论:BBGCMuSo模式与其他基于过程的模式类似,主要受气象因素驱动,尽管特定地点条件是影响低地栎林生长动态的重要因素。在可能的情况下,地下水资料应包括在低地橡树林的模型中,以便获得更好的预测。观测到的实测数据和模型数据之间的差异表明,目前在模型中实施的固定碳分配无法预测NPP的增长动态。模型中应采用动态碳分配程序,以更好地捕捉树木的应力响应和生长动态。

background and Purpose: The study aims at comparing two (over 100 years old) floodplain oak-predominated forests in the Czech Republic (CZ) with two in of Croatia (HR) with regards to: i) their structure and yield and, more specifically, ii) individual oak tree characteristics including acorn production. Materials and Methods: In both countries a different silvicultural concept is preferred (CZ: clear-cutting management with artificial regeneration, HR: shelterwood management with natural regeneration). The main research goal was to create a basic decision tool for forest managers and open some questions for future research. Results: Despite the different natural and management practices, the total standing volume of floodplain forest was found to be similar in both countries, ranging from 500 to 700 m3·ha-1 (basal area: 34-41 m2·ha-1). In CZ generally more poor structure diversity was detected. Although in CZ the number of crop oaks (130-160 oaks per hectare) was almost double as compared with HR, the CZ oaks had shorter crowns, almost twice smaller crown projection, lower mean volume and lower share of valuable assortments. Conclusions: Despite the total standing volume of oaks in HR being lower than in CZ, the total yield was observed in Croatia (loss in CZ ca. 22,000 €·ha-1). The acorn density and quality were generally higher in HR with a more even distribution as well. Despite more favourable climatic conditions in HR, the currently used management system in CZ floodplain forests should be gradually converted to the Croatian model with a multi-layered forest structure, more focused on individual tree growth and stability with high economical value and high reproductive potential.

Background and Purpose: Dryocosmus kuriphilus is an invasive insect species of sweet chestnut (Castanea spp.) originating from China, and the only effective control measure against this pest is classical biological control with introduced parasitoid Torymus sinensis. This parasitoid has been widely released in many European countries, but it also has the ability to rapidly spread naturally. No official releases have been done in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Material and Methods: D. kuriphilus galls were collected in July 2017 on 6 localities in forest district Unsko (Una Sana canton) in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Presence and parasitism rates of T. sinensis were recorded in the entomological laboratory, Croatian Forest Research Institute. T. sinensis larvae were identified morphologically and by being compared with the voucher specimens. Results and Discussion: Torymus sinensis larvae were positively identified in the examined D. kuriphilus galls from all localities in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Parasitism rates ranged from 44.83 to 74%. Occurrence and high parasitism rates in Bosnia and Herzegovina observed in this study are not results of biocontrol releases of T. sinensis, but can be attributed to natural spread from Croatia. High parasitism rates observed in this study can indicate that the parasitoid was present in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2016. Conclusions: This study presents the first record of Torymus sinensis in Bosnia and Herzegovina. We predict that the parasitoid will continue its spread over Bosnia and Herzegovina in sweet chestnut forests and orchards and that it will act as effective biological control agent against D. kuriphilus.
