Background and Purpose: The article is devoted to the reduction of energy consumption necessary for delimbing. Materials and Methods: Branch delimbing method includes feeding the tree trunk through the ring formed by the delimbing knives and simultaneous reciprocator movement of the delimbing knives along the axis of the processed trunk. The distinctive feature of the construction is the presence of the beater unit comprising a pusher and a piston mounted inside a sealed housing.Results: As a result of the suggested construction the force of the beater impact of the delimbing knife is increased. Using this method, the branches are removed not only due to the force generated when the knives come in contact with branches pushed by feed rolls moving the trunk, but also due to extra beater stress affecting the delimbing knife. The use of the aforesaid method and the construction of the mechanism allows to reduce energy consumption necessary for the delimbing process. Conclusions: The design of harvesting and processing head proposed in this article can be used in the design and manufacture of logging machines and mechanisms. The technical solution may be an interesting advance of the delimbing process when processing trees, especially when cutting big branches or when cutting forces are temporarily higher than average force values.
背景和目的:本文致力于降低重组所需的能源消耗。材料和方法:树枝剥皮法包括通过剥皮刀形成的环将树干喂入,同时剥皮刀沿加工树干的轴线往复运动。该结构的显著特征是存在搅拌器单元,该搅拌器单元包括安装在密封壳体内的推进器和活塞。结果:由于所建议的结构,粉碎刀的搅拌器冲击力增加。使用这种方法,不仅由于刀片与移动树干的进给辊推动的树枝接触时产生的力,而且由于影响分解刀的额外搅拌器应力,可以去除树枝。上述方法的使用和机构的构造允许减少分解过程所需的能量消耗。结论:本文提出的采伐加工头的设计可用于伐木机械和机构的设计和制造。该技术解决方案可能是处理树木时,特别是当切割大树枝或当切割力暂时高于平均力值时,分解过程的一个有趣的进步。

Background and Purpose: Due to the ability to uptake and accumulate heavy metals (HM) in their aboveground tissues, trees may be used for phytoremediation purposes, but also as bioindicators of environmental pollution. The aims of the present study were: a) to investigate the content and temporal variation of the studied HMs in different plant organs during the period of intensive leaf falling (September-October), in two species from genus Quercus; b) to evaluate the observed HMs content relative to plausible ranges of element concentration in foliar litter, as recommended by ICP Forests Foliar Co-ordinating Centre (IFFCC). Material and Methods: The contents of zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu) and iron (Fe) were assessed in the litterfall (i.e. leaves and branches) of Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl. and Quercus robur L. grown at two ICP Forests Level II monitoring plots (Fruška Gora and Odžaci, Serbia). Plant material was sampled during September-October 2018 and analyzed by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Results: Comparing the content of investigated HMs in foliar litter and branches of Q. robur and Q. petraea, notably higher concentrations of Mn and Fe have been observed in the foliage of both species, whereas Zn and Cu concentrations were higher in collected branch material of both of the above-mentioned tree species. The results further showed that, when compared to plausible ranges of element concentrations in foliar litter, given by ICP Forests Foliar Co-ordinating Centre (IFFCC), average concentrations of Fe and Zn in the leaves were within suggested limits, whereas certain concentrations of Mn and Cu exceeded the proposed ranges. Furthermore, the content of the studied HMs in plant material of both Quercus species significantly varied during sampling period. Conclusions: Although it was observed that concentrations of certain HMs were beyond plausible limits recommended by IFFCC, our results were in accordance with the findings of other authors who studied HMs content in Quercus species grown in natural forests. For that reason, these limits should be considered optionally, i.e. in the cases when the results significantly deviate from the suggested values. Moreover, we believe that the observed variation in the HMs content during sampling period is related to the sampling procedure commonly applied at ICP Forests monitoring plots, which is indirectly associated with the capacity of trees to accumulate HMs and their phenological properties.
背景和目的:由于树木能够在地上组织中吸收和积累重金属(HM),因此树木可以用于植物修复,也可以作为环境污染的生物指标。本研究的目的是:(1)研究两种栎属植物在密集落叶期(9月至10月)不同植物器官中HMs的含量和时间变化;b) 根据ICP森林叶片协调中心(IFFCC)的建议,评估观察到的HMs含量相对于叶片凋落物中元素浓度的合理范围。材料与方法:测定小栎落叶(叶和枝条)中锌(Zn)、锰(Mn)、铜(Cu)和铁(Fe)的含量。以及生长在两个国际比较项目森林二级监测点(塞尔维亚的Fruška Gora和Odžaci)的粗壮栎。植物材料于2018年9月至10月期间取样,并通过原子吸收分光光度法进行分析。结果:比较所研究的HMs在粗壮木和petraea木的落叶层和枝条中的含量,在这两个树种的叶片中都观察到显著较高的Mn和Fe浓度,而在上述两个树种收集的枝条材料中Zn和Cu浓度都较高。结果进一步表明,与ICP森林叶片协调中心(IFFCC)给出的落叶层中元素浓度的合理范围相比,叶片中Fe和Zn的平均浓度在建议的范围内,而Mn和Cu的某些浓度超过了建议的范围。此外,在采样期间,两种栎属植物材料中所研究的HMs含量存在显著差异。结论:尽管观察到某些HMs的浓度超出了IFFCC建议的合理限度,但我们的结果与其他研究天然林中生长的栎类HMs含量的作者的发现一致。因此,这些限制应视情况而定,即在结果明显偏离建议值的情况下。此外,我们认为,在采样期间观察到的HMs含量变化与ICP森林监测点常用的采样程序有关,该程序与树木积累HMs的能力及其酚学特性间接相关。

Background and Purpose: Black walnut ( Juglans nigra L.) was one of the first forest tree species introduced and acclimated from North America to Europe in the 17th century. Although native to North America, black walnut is now naturalized and widely planted throughout Europe. In Hungary, this species has played an important role in forest management. Black walnut can grow on various sites, but careful site selection and well-planned management practices are needed to produce successful plantations. Due to the increasing interest in black walnut growing in many countries this study complied with the aim of giving a summary on the base of research and improvement connected with the species over the past decades.Materials and Methods: Black walnut produces a well-closing, favourably differentiated stand structure in consequence of the great genetic diversity of single trees. It utilizes well the leaks of the tending cuttings. In this manner, because of its quick height growth, the systematic, individual selective method can be favourably combined with more frequent stem number reduction. The objective of tending should be to produce a high proportion of good quality saw logs from stands of yield class I, II, III and IV, and some other smaller-dimension industrial wood from stands of yield class V and VI. Conclusions: In Hungary, black walnut is one of the most valuable exotic tree species, mainly because of its wood excessively used in furniture industry. Black walnut is used in furniture industry both as solid wood and veneer. This species is among the most expensive furniture woods in the world due to its appealing surface figure and colour. Its wood is also used for making musical instruments, turned and carved ornaments, statues and marquetry. Black walnut stands are to be important in carbon sequestration, soil stabilization, and water quality protection as well.
背景与目的:黑胡桃(Juglans nigra L.)是17世纪从北美引进并适应欧洲的首批森林树种之一。虽然黑胡桃原产于北美洲,但现在已经归化并在整个欧洲广泛种植。在匈牙利,该物种在森林管理中发挥了重要作用。黑胡桃可以在不同的地点生长,但要想种植成功,需要仔细的选址和精心规划的管理实践。由于许多国家对黑胡桃的种植越来越感兴趣,本研究旨在总结过去几十年来与黑胡桃相关的研究和改进。材料和方法:黑胡桃由于单株遗传多样性大,形成了紧密、分化良好的林分结构。它很好地利用了照料岩屑的渗漏。通过这种方式,由于其高度快速增长,系统的、个体选择性的方法可以与更频繁的茎数减少相结合。照料的目标应该是从一、二、三和四级产量的林分中生产出高比例的优质锯材,从五和六级产量的林木中生产出一些其他较小尺寸的工业木材。结论:在匈牙利,黑胡桃是最有价值的外来树种之一,主要是因为其木材在家具工业中被过度使用。黑胡桃在家具工业中既用作实木也用作单板。由于其诱人的表面形状和颜色,该物种是世界上最昂贵的家具木材之一。它的木材也被用于制作乐器、车削和雕刻的装饰品、雕像和镶嵌。黑胡桃林在固碳、土壤稳定和水质保护方面都具有重要意义。

Background and Purpose: Coppicing is the most widely used silvicultural system in North Macedonia and coppice forests together with shrubs cover cca. 69% of the forest cover area. Pure and mixed stands of oak coppice forests alone cover about 50% of the total forest area subject to current Forest Management Plans. In general, coppices are routinely managed, especially when coppicing as a system is planned to be continued. However, sustainability can be threatened if attention is not paid regarding the age of trees/stands and the presence of undesired tree species. The purpose of this study was to determine: (1) quantitative and qualitative aspects of planned management activities in oak coppices throughout the country, (2) the resprouting potential of over-mature oak coppices, and (3) their potential for generative regeneration.Materials and Methods : We analyzed all official forest management plans in the country, in order to assess planned activities and the methods of management. Additionally, 21 experimental plots were set in order to determine the resprouting potential of over-mature (85 to 95 years) coppices of Quercus petraea and Q. frainneto which previously have been subject of clear-cutting. We took a total count of sprouts on all experimental plots, while generative regeneration seedlings were counted on 4 schematically positioned subplots in each experimental plot. Sprouts and generative seedlings were categorized by height.Results and Conclusions: According to the data from forest management plans, coppicing is planned to remain as a management system on 401,636 ha, of the total of 450,975 ha of oak coppice forests. Indirect conversion to high forests is planned on 39,137 ha, while direct conversion with substitution is planned for 10,202 ha. In field trials, resprouting was registered on only 38% of the stools. Generative regeneration was recorded in both oak species in numbers which indicate good potential for conversion of oak coppice stands into high forests by seed felling. However, numerous sprouts of other species ( Corylus avellana, Fraxinus ornus, Acer heldreichii), which reach up to 3 meters in height within two seasons, are potentially dangerous for dominating oak seedlings.
背景和目的:Coppicing是北马其顿使用最广泛的造林系统,与灌木覆盖的cca一起,是矮林。森林覆盖面积的69%。根据目前的森林管理计划,仅橡树林的纯林和混合林就占总森林面积的50%左右。一般来说,灌木林是常规管理的,尤其是当计划继续作为一个系统进行灌木林管理时。然而,如果不注意树木/林分的年龄和不受欢迎的树种的存在,可持续性可能会受到威胁。本研究的目的是确定:(1)全国橡树林计划管理活动的数量和质量方面,(2)过度成熟橡树林的再生潜力,以及(3)它们的再生潜力。材料和方法:我们分析了该国所有官方森林管理计划,以评估计划的活动和管理方法。此外,还设置了21个实验区,以确定之前进行过清割的小栎和小栎超成熟(85至95年)林的重新造林潜力。我们对所有实验地块上的芽进行了总计数,而对每个实验地块中4个示意性定位的子地块上的再生苗进行了计数。发芽苗和再生苗按高度分类。结果和结论:根据森林管理计划的数据,在总共450975公顷的橡树矮林中,矮林计划保留401636公顷的管理系统。计划将39137公顷的森林间接转化为高林,而计划将10202公顷的森林直接转化为替代森林。在现场试验中,只有38%的粪便记录了呼吸。在这两种橡树中都记录了世代再生的数量,这表明通过种子砍伐将橡树矮林转化为高林的潜力很大。然而,其他物种(Corylus avellana、Fraxinus ornus、Acer heldreichii)的大量芽苗在两个季节内高达3米,对主导橡树幼苗具有潜在的危险。

Background and Purpose: Bark thickness and its share in the volume of roundwood are the most important characteristics of the bark, particularly in the process of timber harvesting, and during scaling of processed logs. Therefore it is very important to have at disposal relatively accurate data regarding these characteristics of bark for particular tree species. The main goal of this paper is to investigate the thickness of the bark and its share in the volume of roundwood of Norway spruce. Materials and Methods: The research was carried out in the area of the Canton 10 of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and it encompassed 393 trees of Norway spruce from 10 cm to 115 cm of thickness at breast height. Measuring of the mean diameter and double thickness of bark was conducted by section method. In total, 4,647 diameters and bark thicknesses were measured in different relative lengths of stems or in average 10.6 measurements per one stem. Results: As an optimal model for the evaluation of double thickness of the bark of Norway spruce depending on mean diameter of roundwood the function with designated determination coefficient of 0.7142 was selected. The obtained results have confirmed the previously defined relations of investigate characteristics, which are as following: a) with the increase of mean diameter of roundwood (section) double bark thickness is increased from 9.26 mm (thickness class 12.5 cm) to 31.65 mm (thickness class 92.5 cm); b) with the increase of mean diameter of roundwood the share of bark in its volume decreased from 14.26% (thickness class 12.5 cm) to 6.73% (thickness class 92.5 cm).Conclusions: By the actual method of estimating bark thickness or the share of bark in the volume of roundwood of Norway spruce in the forestry of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina a significant error was created which increases with the increase of mean diameter. The obtained results point to the necessity of investigation of these bark characteristics in Bosnia and Herzegovina and represent an inevitable starting point for making adequate tables of bark thickness and its percentage share in the volume of roundwood of Norway spruce.
背景和目的:树皮厚度及其在圆木体积中的份额是树皮最重要的特征,特别是在木材采伐过程中和加工原木的缩放过程中。因此,掌握关于特定树种树皮这些特征的相对准确的数据是非常重要的。本文的主要目的是研究挪威云杉树皮的厚度及其在圆材体积中的份额。材料和方法:这项研究在波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那联邦10号州的地区进行,共有393棵挪威云杉,树高10厘米至115厘米。用剖面法测定了树皮的平均直径和双倍厚度。在不同相对长度的茎中总共测量了4647个直径和树皮厚度,或者平均每根茎测量10.6个。结果:选择确定系数为0.7142的函数作为根据圆材平均直径评估挪威云杉树皮双倍厚度的最佳模型。所获得的结果证实了先前定义的研究特征的关系,其如下:a)随着圆木(截面)平均直径的增加,双层树皮厚度从9.26mm(厚度等级12.5cm)增加到31.65mm(厚度等级92.5cm);b) 随着圆材平均直径的增加,树皮在体积中的份额从14.26%(厚度等级12.5cm)下降到6.73%(厚度等级92.5cm)随着平均直径的增加而增加。所获得的结果表明,有必要对波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那的这些树皮特征进行调查,并为编制足够的树皮厚度及其在挪威云杉圆材体积中的百分比份额表提供了一个不可避免的起点。

The obtained results point to the necessity of investigation of these bark characteristics in Bosnia and Herzegovina and represent an inevitable starting point for making adequate tables of bark thickness and its percentage share in the volume of roundwood of Norway spruce.","PeriodicalId":54023,"journal":{"name":"SEEFOR-South-East European Forestry","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2019-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42312872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Background and Purpose: Coppice forests have a particular socio-economic and ecological role in forestry and environmental management. Their production sustainability and spatial stability become imperative for forestry sector as well as for local and global communities. Recently, integrated forest inventory and remotely sensed data analysed with non-parametrical statistical methods have enabled more detailed insight into forest structural characteristics. The aim of this research was to estimate forest attributes of beech coppice forest stands in the Sarajevo Canton through the integration of inventory and Sentinel S2A satellite data using machine learning methods. Materials and Methods: Basal area, mean stand diameter, growing stock and total volume data were determined from the forest inventory designed for represented stands of coppice forests. Spectral data were collected from bands of Sentinel S2A satellite image, vegetation indices (difference, normalized difference and ratio vegetation index) and biophysical variables (fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation, leaf area index, fraction of vegetation cover, chlorophyll content in the leaf and canopy water content). Machine learning rule-based M5 model tree (M5P) and random forest (RF) methods were used for forest attribute estimation. Predictor subset selection was based on wrapping assuming M5P and RF learning schemes. Models were developed on training data subsets (402 sample plots) and evaluations were performed on validation data subsets (207 sample plots). Performance of the models was evaluated by the percentage of the root mean squared error over the mean value (rRMSE) and the square of the correlation coefficient between the observed and estimated stand variables. Results and Conclusions: Predictor subset selection resulted in a varied number of predictors for forest attributes and methods with their larger contribution in RF (between 8 and 11). Spectral biophysical variables dominated in subsets. The RF resulted in smaller errors for training sets for all attributes than M5P, while both methods delivered very high errors for validation sets (rRMSE above 50%). The lowest rRMSE of 50% was obtained for stand basal area. The observed variability explained by the M5P and RF models in training subsets was about 30% and 95% respectively, but those values were lower in test subsets (below 12%) but still significant. Differences of the sample and modelled forest attribute means were not significant, while modelled variability for all forest attributes was significantly lower (p<0.01). It seems that additional information is needed to increase prediction accuracy, so stand information (management classes, site class, soil type, canopy closure and others), new sampling strategy and new spectral products could be integrated and examined in further more complex modelling of forest attributes.
背景和目的:灌木林在林业和环境管理中具有特殊的社会经济和生态作用。它们的生产可持续性和空间稳定性对林业部门以及当地和全球社区至关重要。最近,用非参数统计方法分析的综合森林清查和遥感数据使人们能够更详细地了解森林的结构特征。本研究的目的是利用机器学习方法,通过整合库存和Sentinel S2A卫星数据,估计萨拉热窝州山毛榉林分的森林属性。材料与方法:通过对代表性林分设计的森林清查,确定基片面积、平均林分直径、蓄积量和总积等数据。光谱数据采集自Sentinel S2A卫星影像、植被指数(差值、归一化差值和比值植被指数)和生物物理变量(吸收光合有效辐射分数、叶面积指数、植被覆盖分数、叶片叶绿素含量和冠层含水量)波段。采用基于机器学习规则的M5模型树(M5P)和随机森林(RF)方法进行森林属性估计。预测器子集选择基于包裹假设M5P和RF学习方案。在训练数据子集(402个样本图)上建立模型,在验证数据子集(207个样本图)上进行评估。模型的性能通过均方根误差除以平均值(rRMSE)的百分比以及观测和估计林分变量之间相关系数的平方来评估。结果和结论:预测因子子集的选择导致森林属性和方法的预测因子数量不同,它们在RF中的贡献较大(在8到11之间)。光谱生物物理变量在子集中占主导地位。RF对所有属性的训练集的误差小于M5P,而两种方法对验证集的误差都非常高(rRMSE大于50%)。林分基面积的rRMSE最低,为50%。在训练子集中,M5P和RF模型解释的观察变异性分别约为30%和95%,而在测试子集中,这些值较低(低于12%),但仍然显著。样本与模型森林属性均值差异不显著,而所有森林属性的模型变异率均显著降低(p<0.01)。似乎需要额外的信息来提高预测精度,因此林分信息(管理类别、立地类别、土壤类型、冠层闭合等)、新的采样策略和新的光谱产品可以在进一步更复杂的森林属性建模中得到整合和检验。

Background and Purpose: This study presents the analysis of photosynthetic pigments, proline, total soluble protein, total amino acids, glucose, sucrose, total soluble sugars, total amount of phenolic compounds and flavonoids, malondialdehyde (MDA) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) concentration in the leaf samples collected from oriental beech trees, which are naturally spread in Kastamonu Province, Turkey, with differing ages, enzyme activities of ascorbate peroxidase (APX), catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD).Material and Methods: The research was carried out on oriental beech trees (Fagus orientalis L.) of different ages located at 1300 m high elevation in Ahlat Village of Kastamonu Province, Turkey. Oriental beech trees of different ages (≥25, ≥50, ≥100, ≥200 and ≥600 years-old) constituted the material of this study. In leaf samples taken from trees of different ages, photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, total chlorophyll and carotenoid), proline, total soluble protein, total amino acid, glucose, sucrose, total soluble sugars, the amount of total phenolic compounds and flavonoids, MDA, H2O2 concentration, enzyme activities of APX, CAT and SOD, as well as the relationship between the total content of C, N and H elements and the tree ages were studied.Results: As a result of the research conducted, significant differences were determined in terms of chlorophyll, total phenolic compound, flavonoid, glucose, amounts of sucrose, nitrogenous compounds, proline, total soluble protein, MDA, H 2O2 concentrations, and the activities of APX, CAT and SOD in the leaves of oriental beech trees with differing ages. The highest content of chlorophyll a was found to be in the youngest age group of ≥25 years. Total chlorophyll is low in young trees and high in middle-aged, old and very old trees. According to the results obtained, it was concluded that the MDA and H2O2 concentrations in the trees did not vary depending on the age of trees only, but also on the genotype, environmental conditions and metabolic activities. It was concluded that the fact that the total chlorophyll, phenolic compounds and sucrose content in oriental beech trees are high and that MDA content is low could have an influence on the long life of ≥600 years-old oriental beech trees.Conclusions: The activity of photosynthesis is related to leaf characteristics more than the age of trees.
背景和目的:本研究分析了土耳其Kastamonu省自然分布的不同树龄东方山毛榉叶片样品的光合色素、脯氨酸、总可溶性蛋白、总氨基酸、葡萄糖、蔗糖、总可溶性糖、酚类化合物和类黄酮总量、丙二醛(MDA)和过氧化氢(H2O2)浓度,以及抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)和超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)的酶活性。材料与方法:对位于土耳其Kastamonu省Ahlat村海拔1300 m的不同年龄的东方山毛榉(Fagus orientalis L.)进行了研究。不同树龄(≥25年、≥50年、≥100年、≥200年、≥600年)的东方山毛榉构成本研究的材料。研究了不同树龄树木叶片中光合色素(叶绿素a、叶绿素b、总叶绿素和类胡萝卜素)、脯氨酸、总可溶性蛋白、总氨基酸、葡萄糖、蔗糖、总可溶性糖、总酚类化合物和类黄酮含量、MDA、H2O2浓度、APX、CAT和SOD酶活性以及总C、N、H元素含量与树龄的关系。结果:不同树龄的东方山毛榉叶片叶绿素、总酚类化合物、类黄酮、葡萄糖、蔗糖、氮化合物、脯氨酸、总可溶性蛋白、MDA、h2o2浓度以及APX、CAT和SOD活性均存在显著差异。叶绿素a含量以≥25岁年龄组最高。总叶绿素在幼树中较低,在中年树、老树和极老树中较高。结果表明,MDA和H2O2浓度的变化不仅与树龄有关,还与基因型、环境条件和代谢活动有关。综上所述,东洋山毛榉总叶绿素、酚类化合物和蔗糖含量高,MDA含量低可能是东洋山毛榉≥600年树龄长寿的重要因素。结论:光合作用活性与叶片特性的关系大于与树龄的关系。

Background and Purpose: The aim of this study is to highlight the importance of black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.), a North American-originating tree species of major importance in Romania, in extreme site conditions such as sand dunes. In this respect, a Research and Development (R&D) project has been carried out in Carei-Valea lui Mihai Plain (north-west of Romania) since 2016.Materials and Methods: Three sub-compartments were selected in IV Valea lui Mihai Working Circle, Săcueni Forest District: two pure natural regenerations by root suckers of black locust at different ages (sub-compartments 3B and 52A%) and a mixed black locust - black cherry stand (sub-compartment 23D). Biometrical measurements and analyses as well as biomass estimations were performed. A thorough statistical analysis using the data on initial, extracted and residual trees/stands was also performed.Results: The main outputs of the project are as follows: (1) Black locust was established naturally by root suckers and the stocking of newly established stands can be as high as 50,000 suckers·ha-1; (2) The initial growth of black locust regeneration is quick and the young regeneration can close the canopy in 1-2 years, resulting in an appropriate dune fixation and wind erosion control; (3) The young pure or mixed black locust-dominated stands are left untended until the first cleaning-respacing (mean diameter 5-6 cm), when the stand shows high stocking/density and a wide variation in tree size. This intervention is from below, heavy (intensity over 25% by number of trees or basal area) and of negative selection type, removing mostly low Kraft’s class, dead or dying, and defective trees.Conclusions: This R&D project has shown the high potential of black locust to establish naturally by root suckers after a low coppice cut and stump removal, as well as the fast initial growth of regenerated black locust. The quick canopy closure of young regeneration results in an appropriate dune fixation and wind erosion control.
背景和目的:本研究的目的是强调黑蝗虫(Robinia pseudoacia L.)的重要性,它是一种原产于北美的树种,在罗马尼亚具有重要意义,在沙丘等极端场地条件下具有重要意义。在这方面,自2016年以来,在Carei Valea lui Mihai平原(罗马尼亚西北部)开展了一个研发项目。材料和方法:在IV Valea lui-Mihai工作圈中选择了三个子区,Săcueni林区:不同年龄的黑蝗虫(子区3B和52A%)和一个黑蝗虫-黑樱桃混合林(子区23D)的两个纯自然再生。进行了生物测量和分析以及生物量估计。还使用初始、提取和残留树木/林分的数据进行了全面的统计分析。结果:该项目的主要成果如下:(1)利用吸根器自然建立了黑蝗虫群落,新建立的林分蓄积量可达5万只·ha-1;(2) 黑蝗虫再生初期生长迅速,幼龄再生可在1-2年内关闭树冠,形成适当的沙丘固定和风蚀控制;(3) 年轻的纯或混合黑蝗虫为主的林分在第一次清理重新造林(平均直径5-6厘米)之前不受干扰,此时林分表现出高放养/密度和树木大小的广泛变化。这种干预措施是从下方进行的,强度大(按树木数量或基底面积计算,强度超过25%),并且是负选择型的,主要清除低卡夫等级、死亡或垂死以及有缺陷的树木。结论:该研发项目显示了黑蝗虫在低矮林和树桩移除后,通过吸根器自然建立的高潜力,以及再生黑蝗虫的快速初始生长。幼树更新的快速树冠闭合导致了适当的沙丘固定和风蚀控制。

Background and Purpose: The sycamore seed bug, Belonochilus numenius (Say, 1831), was recorded for the first time in Europe in 2008, with finds in that same year in two separate locations in Spain and two in France. Since then, it has been reported to be present in 17 European countries. Once it reached Europe, the fast spread and establishment of this species was facilitated both by the increased plant trade and the relative frequency of plane trees ( Platanus x acerifolia, P. orientalis and P. occidentalis ) planted on a wide scale across the continent due to their popularity as urban and peri-urban trees. Materials and Methods: In the summer of 2019 we inspected urban, peri-urban and natural populations and groups of plane trees throughout North Macedonia, on a total of 44 sites, looking for presence of nymphs and adults of this insect on seed balls. We collected specimens and related data and made identification based on specific external characteristics typical of B. numenius. Results: We report the first record of B. numenius in the Republic of North Macedonia from July 2019, from P. x acerifolia in Skopje. Furthermore, after inspecting plane trees throughout the country we report the presence of this insect in 29 cities and towns, 3 peri-urban and in 1 natural population of P. orientalis. Conclusions: From the widespread distribution of this insect species, we conclude that it has entered the territory of North Macedonia many years prior, very likely soon after first records in Serbia in 2011 and Bulgaria in 2012, but has since been overlooked.
背景和目的:悬铃木种子虫Belonochilus numenius(Say,1831)于2008年首次在欧洲被记录,同年在西班牙的两个不同地点和法国的两个地点被发现。自那时以来,据报道,它已在17个欧洲国家出现。一旦到达欧洲,植物贸易的增加和平面树(Platanus x acerifolia、P.orientalis和P.occidentalis)在整个大陆大规模种植的相对频率都促进了该物种的快速传播和建立,因为它们作为城市和近郊树木很受欢迎。材料和方法:2019年夏天,我们在北马其顿共44个地点检查了城市、城市周边和自然种群以及梧桐树群,在种子球上寻找这种昆虫的若虫和成虫。我们收集了标本和相关数据,并根据努美纽斯特有的外部特征进行了鉴定。结果:我们报告了2019年7月北马其顿共和国首次记录的努梅纽斯B.numenius,来自斯科普里的悬铃木P.x acerifolia。此外,在对全国各地的梧桐树进行检查后,我们报告在29个城镇、3个城郊和1个自然种群中存在这种昆虫。结论:从这种昆虫的广泛分布来看,我们得出结论,它在多年前就已经进入北马其顿领土,很可能是在2011年塞尔维亚和2012年保加利亚首次记录后不久,但后来被忽视了。

Background and Purpose: Romania’s forests are of globally significant value due to their natural characteristics, as similar forests in some other parts of the world have been lost forever. These types of forests, so-called "virgin" and "quasi-virgin (old growth)" forests, are also identified in the Buzau Mountains, which are part of the Eastern Carpathians in Romania (Curvature Region). Materials and Methods: To study and understand the structure and dynamics of primeval forest, four permanent one-hectare research plots were installed in the Penteleu Mountains, part of the Buzau Mountains. All trees with a diameter at breast height (DBH) greater than 80 mm were measured and their main dendrometric characteristics (DBH, height and social position) registered. The forest structure was analysed by fitting different theoretical distribution functions (beta, gamma, gamma 3P, gamma 3P mixt, loglogistic 3p, lognormal 3P and Weibull 3p). The structural homogeneity of the permanent research plots was tested using the Camino index (H) and Gini index (G).Results: For the smaller DBH categories, Norway spruce was relatively shorter in height, but with increasing DBH, the heights of Norway spruce exceeded those of European beech. Stand volume varied between 615 and 1133 m3 per hectare. The area of maximum stability where we encountered the lowest tree height variability was recorded between the 60 cm and 100 cm diameter categories. The Lorenz curve and the Gini index indicated that the studied stands have high structural biodiversity.Conclusions: The results showed that the studied forests have an optimal structural diversity, assuring them a higher stability and multifunctionality. Thus, these forests are models for managed forests.
背景和目的:罗马尼亚的森林由于其自然特征而具有全球重要价值,因为世界其他一些地区的类似森林已经永远消失。这些类型的森林,即所谓的“原始”和“准原始(古老生长)”森林,也在布祖山脉中发现,布祖山脉是罗马尼亚东喀尔巴阡山脉(曲率区)的一部分。材料和方法:为了研究和了解原始森林的结构和动态,在布祖山脉的一部分Penteleu山脉设置了四个一公顷的永久性研究区。测量了所有胸径(DBH)大于80mm的树木,并记录了它们的主要树木测量特征(DBH、高度和社会地位)。通过拟合不同的理论分布函数(β、γ、γ3P、γ3P混合、对数逻辑3P、对数正态3P和威布尔3P)来分析森林结构。采用卡米诺指数(H)和基尼指数(G)对永久研究区的结构均匀性进行了测试。结果:对于较小的DBH类别,挪威云杉的高度相对较短,但随着DBH的增加,挪威云杉高度超过了欧洲山毛榉。林分体积在每公顷615至1133立方米之间。在直径为60厘米和100厘米的类别之间,记录了我们遇到最低树高变异性的最大稳定性区域。洛伦茨曲线和基尼指数表明,研究林分具有较高的结构生物多样性。结论:研究结果表明,所研究的森林具有最佳的结构多样性,保证了其较高的稳定性和多功能性。因此,这些森林是管理森林的典范。

These types of forests, so-called \"virgin\" and \"quasi-virgin (old growth)\" forests, are also identified in the Buzau Mountains, which are part of the Eastern Carpathians in Romania (Curvature Region). \u0000Materials and Methods: To study and understand the structure and dynamics of primeval forest, four permanent one-hectare research plots were installed in the Penteleu Mountains, part of the Buzau Mountains. All trees with a diameter at breast height (DBH) greater than 80 mm were measured and their main dendrometric characteristics (DBH, height and social position) registered. The forest structure was analysed by fitting different theoretical distribution functions (beta, gamma, gamma 3P, gamma 3P mixt, loglogistic 3p, lognormal 3P and Weibull 3p). The structural homogeneity of the permanent research plots was tested using the Camino index (H) and Gini index (G).\u0000Results: For the smaller DBH categories, Norway spruce was relatively shorter in height, but with increasing DBH, the heights of Norway spruce exceeded those of European beech.
