Growth characteristics of sessile oak (Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl., Fagaceae) young crop in conditions of small size regeneration areas
Abstract
In accordance with the biology of sessile oak that implies shade tolerance and
the ability to regenerate in the closed stand canopy conditions in the monodominant
sessile oak forests in Serbia, the natural regeneration of stands is mainly based on
beforehand, spontaneously formed young crop and its gradual release from shade of
the secondary species and mother trees by means of regeneration cuts on the areas of
various size. In the conditions of small size regeneration areas on a site of a
mesophilious variant of monodominant sessile oak forest (Quercetum petraeae Čer.
et Jov. 1953. s.l) in the area of northeastern Serbia, a morphometric analysis was
conducted on sessile oak young crop that was formed after successive mast years
(2002, 2005, 2009 and 2011). In the oldest found young crop that was formed in the
closed canopy conditions, the above-cotyledon-axis was on average 9.0 cm tall in
the first year of its development while at age 15 years it was 55.0 cm with a root
co...llar diameter of 6.3 mm. The morphology of the seedlings was typical of shade
conditions (sciomorphic). The current annual height increment in the unchanged
canopy conditions in the period from the 2nd to the 9th year of age was 1.0–2.6 cm.
When the canopy conditions were changed, from 10th to 15th year, the current annual
height increment was 1.4–10.9 cm. In the conditions of small size regeneration
areas, the sessile oak young crop shows a specific norm of reaction of height growth
in the first and in the following years of development and the main height growth
type was one-flush growth.
