Main findings presented to the end-users and scientific community
F.18 Transfer of new know-how to direct users (seminars, fora, conferences)
COBISS.SI-ID: 3612838Various methodological approaches in determining forest site productivity were assessed: the link between the site index (SI100) and phytoindication values after Ellenberg and colleagues (1992), Landolt (2010) and Košir (1992); the consistency between the site index (SI) and stand increment, and the possibilities to estimate the site index on the PSP by the comparing the radial increment, indirectly calculated age of the trees and height curves.
F.23 Development of new system-wide, normative and programme solutions, and methods
COBISS.SI-ID: 3614118The final report of the project presents the main findings, describing the different methodology used to determine the site productivity, evaluates the use of different methodologies by several case studies, and list main site types that were studied within the project. The report contains 42 pages.
F.02 Acquisition of new scientific knowledge
COBISS.SI-ID: 3791782The study included 17,045 permanent sampling plots in the Dinaric region in Slovenia (879 km2). Mean annual diameter increments of fir, beech, and spruce were 3.37, 2.86 and 3.70 mm, respectively. The individual tree growth models for all three tree species were constructed. The multivariate analysis showed significant influence of tree (social status, damage of a tree, dbh) and stand parameters (stand basal area, developmental stage) on the diameter growth. Additionally, stand growth models and total productivity of pure and mixed stands were developed. The influence of stand mixture on an individual tree growth and the total stand productivity was evaluated and the applicability of the results for future management with mixed silver fir-Europeanbeech-Norway spruce mountain forests was discussed.
