Abstract
Both ecological aspects i.e. biotic and biotic factors were analyzed and studied in black pine plantations in the Sumadija region. The black pine plantations analyzed within 5 experimental fields are 30, 40 and 55-60 years old, and are found in: good quality habitats medium quality habitats and low quality habitats. The same-aged plantations were studied in different habitats. All dendrometric measurements were performed, including diameter, height and tree volume, along with tree analysis and complete growth calculation. Stand structure, thickness, height, structure by basal area and volume structure are also presented. Height growth proved to be a new significant indicator. Conclusions were drawn, and tending practices for each experimental field and growing recommendations were suggested. .
Highlights
Black pine plantations are widespread in Serbia under diverse natural conditions, in terms of geographical, orographic and climatic factors, and in relation to the geological base, soil types and plant communities. (Jovanovic 1988)
Black pine plantations are found on limestone, dolomite, serpentinite and siliceous rocks, which certainly affected their composition and structure, individual floral elements and the stand since black pine plantations are of great importance for forestry theory and practice in FMP (Antic, Jovic, Avdalovic, 1988.) a significant proportion of black pine plantations are located in habitats where the ecological value exceeds the environmental requirements of pine
Soil profiles from all experimental fields were excavated for detailed analysis of the land, in order to study black pine plantations of different age and on different soil types
Summary
Black pine plantations are widespread in Serbia under diverse natural conditions, in terms of geographical, orographic and climatic factors, and in relation to the geological base, soil types and plant communities. (Jovanovic 1988). Black pine plantations are widespread in Serbia under diverse natural conditions, in terms of geographical, orographic and climatic factors, and in relation to the geological base, soil types and plant communities. The total surface area of black pine plantations in Serbia is 65,200 ha, which is a rather large coverage, considering the presence of only one type. The total black pine wood volume is 3,099.385m3, which represents a huge potential in both forest environmental and economic terms. The current pine increment over 10 years is 1,435.154 m3. All these data deserve attention and offer hope, but on the other hand, they put on a great obligation imposed by the Forestry Sciences (Invetura a National Forest, 2012)
