20.500.12556/RUL-87615 Comparison of regeneration and recruitment of shade-tolerant and light-demanding tree species in mixed uneven-aged forests experiences from the Dinaric region Research on the early stages of stand dynamics in uneven-aged forests often favours regeneration over recruitment of trees into forest stands. We contrasted both regeneration (i.e. seedlings and saplings existing in a stand) and recruitment (i.e. the number of trees annually crossing the threshold of 10 cm dbh) in two main stand types of uneven-aged forests (plenter and group selection). Data from 1710 permanent plots across the Dinaric Mountains in Slovenia were used to study recruitment; on 165 plots, regeneration was additionally analysed. The zero-inflated negative binomial modelling procedure was applied to identify factors influencing regeneration and recruitment. Total regeneration (30 212 ha−1) and that of light-demanding species (14 879 ha−1) were abundant. The latter regenerated more successfully in group selection stands compared with plenter stands. A large reduction in regeneration density was determined during its growth, which was more dramatic for light-demanding species (e.g. Acer pseudoplatanus) than for shade-tolerant species (e.g. Fagus sylvatica, Abies alba). The number of recruited trees (5.83 ha−1 y−1) seemed to be sufficient to maintain the uneven structure but was less promising for light-demanding species (0.13 ha−1 y−1). However, light-demanding species have the potential to establish and recruit into uneven-aged stands with a limited target proportion in the growing stock. Both indicators—regeneration and recruitment—are indispensable for understanding patterns of stand dynamics in uneven-aged forests. forest regeneration shade-tolerance tree species uneven-aged forests light-demande Dinaric region raznomerni gozdovi jelovo-bukovi gozdovi sencovzdržne vrste svetloljubne vrste Dinaridi pomlajevanje true false false Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Delo ni kategorizirano 2016-12-06 14:36:32 2016-12-06 14:44:15 2022-08-09 12:15:34 0000-00-00 00:00:00 0 0 0 552-536 #iss. #5 #Vol. #88 2015 0000-00-00 PostprintKoncna NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2016-06-20 630*18 10.1093/forestry/cpv021 4117926 Klopcic_et_al_2015_Comparison_of_recruitment_and_regeneration_repozitorij_(1).pdf Klopcic_et_al_2015_Comparison_of_recruitment_and_regeneration_repozitorij_(1).pdf 1 4D359B1082741143EDD8A63BF92EE246 67be408af0f26044d96aa5526d10013ea28e235661c403b01cdaa5e995b41ae5 16e8eba6-a1b1-11eb-a523-00155dcfd717 20.500.12556/rul/db7130b0-6d14-45ee-b414-b9ab008ae2ca https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=91080 Biotehniška fakulteta 0 0 0
