Selection-management in pine stands

Abstract

This study presents the results on the structure and volume of many−aged pine stands in private forest holdings managed under semi−selection system. Their volume was ca 150 m3/ha and the basal area ca 20 m3/ha. Pine stands reveal all−age structure. The conditions of reaching the multi−generation pine stands is poor habitat where pine regeneration shows high competitive ability and density distribution of trees, including the occurrence of gaps and openings in stand overstorey ensuring proper conditions for the appearance and development of new regenerations of pine
