2 Silviculture 10 th October 2011 Natural forests dynamics in Europe (temperate and boreal bioms) Tomáš Vrška

3 LECTURE SCHEME A - BIOMS temperate versus boreal SMALL and LARGE developmental cycle B - Concepts of small developmental cycle C - Elementary features How to identify the stages in situ? 2

4 A BIOMs temperate versus boreal MIXED DECIDUOUS FOREST - TEMPERATE CONIFEROUS FOREST BOREAL more tree species, deciduous in particular key competitive factor: light fine texture (horizontal structure) growth space more fulfilled (fight for light) typ: mixed forests of middle and lower elevations in Central Europe less tree species, coniferous in particular key competitive factor: heat coarse texture (horizontal structure) growth space more open (soil radiation touch the soil surface heat) typ: coniferous dominated forests of higher mountain elevations of Central Europe 3

5 A SMALL and LARGE developmental cycle CYCLES large small steady state final (closing) forest preparatory forest C-European mountain forests transitional forest 4 (Míchal et Petříček 1999)

7 B Concepts of SMALL developmental cycle dynamics Theory development Leibundgut 1959 (only phases), 1978 (phases, stages consideration) Zukrigl 1963 (only phases) Mayer et al (only phases) Koop 1989 aplication of Kropeľ theory for the deciduous forests (beech forests.) Korpeľ 1978, 1989, 1995 (3 stages, every stage phases) Tabaku 1999, Drössler 2006 (only phases) Král et al (exact determination of stages; steady state) and others!!!
