The Major Results of the Silvicultural Heritage of the Forester K.F. Turmer

Journal Title: Lesnoy Zhurnal (Russian Forestry Journal) - Year 2020, Vol 9, Issue 5

Abstract

Bibliography of academic papers on forestry activities of the well-known forester K.F. Turmer has more than 150 titles, including papers by the author of this article (more than 20). Today, almost 2,000 ha of his plantings have been preserved in the center of the Russian Plain. The purpose of the article is to summarize the silvicultural heritage of K.F. Turmer. The results of this study indicate the compliance with the conformity principle of conifers with forest site conditions along with optimal patterns of their mixing and placement of planting points. The results of a long-term study of the K.F. Turmer’s forest crops showed that in rich forest site conditions of indigenous spruce forests the creation of pine-spruce plantations is the most promising. The plantations in composition of 7 Scots pines (Pinus sylvestris) and 3 Norway spruces (Picea abies) in 100 years produce 800 m3 of trunk wood per 1 ha. The introduction of European larch has shown very good results. In forest crops it is capable to produce 1,000 or more m3 of trunk wood per 1 ha in combination with ripe spruce. Indeed K.F. Turmer implemented the principle of plantation forestry, which allows significantly increasing the silvicultural effect and reducing the age of felling in order to obtain commercial coniferous wood.
