Evaluation of grafts of Norway spruce in the conservation archives of endangered populations of IPTNS-IUFRO 1964/68 experiment in Krynica
Journal Title: Forestry Letters - Year 2016, Vol 109, Issue
Abstract
In this study, the analysis of the height, quality and vitality of clones which make the conservation archives of the IPTNSIUFRO 1964/1968 experiment in Krynica was carried out. The archive protects 19.5% of population collected in the IUFRO experiment. Success performance of the archive was 92.75%. Grafts were mostly characterized by a simple narrow and a complete health status. The height of clones ranged from an average of 45.81 cm to 147.64 cm, depending on the clone collection. High success performance of the archive and the positive features of the clones indicate the possibility of further effective implementation of grafting and conservation of genetic resources of subsequent populations of Norway spruce included in the largest inventory experiment with this species.

Mass and density of birch pulpwood harvested from stands in different types of forest habitats
Density is one of the most important properties, on the basis of which other characteristics and attributes of lumber are evaluated. One of its more practical applications is in the evaluation of the load mass of pulpwoo...
Damages caused by European beaver (Castor fiber L., 1758) in broadleaved stands
The main aims of the study were: (1) to describe the various types of damage caused by European beavers in young broadleaved stands; and (2) to check whether a steel fence built parallel to the river and laterally (both...
Consequences of increasing payloads on carbon emissions – an example from the Bavaria State Forest Enterprise (BaySF)
To significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions in general, and to substantially reduce the energy input specifically of wood products, is an overall accepted aim. Here, log transport significantly contributes within th...
