Abstract
This paper gives an in-depth study of some bioecological characteristics of the Hungarian and Turkey oak, autochthonous oak species and edificators of climatogenic communities of central Serbia. Today, these forest complexes are mostly of coppice origin and as such, they require implementation of reclamation operations. In order to determine biological dominance, select the optimal reclamation operations and finally improve the state of these forests, we studied the environmental conditions, stand state, development and position of individual trees in a mixed coppice stand of Hungarian and Turkey oak in a suburban zone of the city of Belgrade.
Highlights
A large part of urban areas in the central part of our country, at altitudes between 300 and 700 m. a.s.l., is surrounded by a widespread Hungarian oak and Turkey oak forest (Quercetum frainetto-cerris Rud. 49 s. l.), which is a climatogenic forest typical of Serbia and as such it is considered to be its ‘coeno-ecological synonym’ (Jovanović, 1986)
The field data were collected in a mixed coppice forest of Hungarian oak and Turkey oak in the territory of Lipovica, which is in the suburban zone of the city of Belgrade
The soil is classified as lessive brown and phytocoenologically it is a typical forest of Hungarian oak and Turkey oak (Quercetum frainetto-cerris aculeatetosum)
Summary
A large part of urban areas in the central part of our country, at altitudes between 300 and 700 m. a.s.l., is surrounded by a widespread Hungarian oak and Turkey oak forest (Quercetum frainetto-cerris Rud. 49 s. l.), which is a climatogenic forest typical of Serbia and as such it is considered to be its ‘coeno-ecological synonym’ (Jovanović, 1986). L.), which is a climatogenic forest typical of Serbia and as such it is considered to be its ‘coeno-ecological synonym’ (Jovanović, 1986). This community occurs on placoric terrains, i.e. on sites where there is just enough water in the soil for that type of climate. Hungarian oak trees of generative origin are rarely found (Jovanović, 2007). For all these reasons, there is a prevailing opinion that Turkey oak trees outnumber Hungarian oaks on the large areas of this community
