The Size of the Assimilatory Apparatus and Its Relationship with Selected Taxation and Increment Traits in Pine (<i>Pinus sylvestris</i> L.) Stands

Studies were carried for 200 trees coming from eight pure pine stands aged 25–95 years, growing in a fresh mixed coniferous forest habitat, in the Murowana Goślina Forest Experimental Station (52°34′ N, 17°00′ E) in western Poland. The aim of the study was to determine the size of the assimilatory a...

The aim of the study was to determine the size of the assimilatory apparatus of single pines (<i>Pinus sylvestris</i> L.): weight of leaved twigs (<i>ugc</i>), needle weight (<i>ic</i>), the volume of leaved twigs (<i>ugo</i>) and needle volume (<i>io</i>) and its relationship with selected dendrometric and increment traits of trees. The basic dendrometric traits were determined (height—<i>h</i> and diameter at breast height—<i>d</i><sub>1.3</sub>) together with selected increments (heights—<i>Ih</i><sub>5</sub> and <i>Ih</i><sub>10</sub>, diameter at breast height—<i>Id</i><sub>5</sub> and <i>Id</i><sub>10</sub>, basal area at breast height—<i>Ig</i><sub>5</sub> and <i>Ig</i><sub>10</sub>, volume—<i>Iv</i><sub>5</sub> and <i>Iv</i><sub>10</sub>). A statistically significant linear correlation and a multiple linear correlation were shown between analysed traits, which confirms a strong relationship of the size of the assimilatory apparatus with tree increment. In this context, the strong correlation with the increment in basal area at breast height (correlation coefficient 0.8731 ÷ 0.9836) and with the increment in diameter at breast height (correlation coefficient 0.7835 ÷ 0.9581), after determining the increment in diameter at breast height requires only simple mathematical transformations to determine the increment in basal area at breast height. For the above-mentioned reasons, the increment in basal area at breast height is predisposed to be commonly used in the determination of the efficiency of the assimilatory apparatus of trees.Cezary BekerMieczysław TurskiKatarzyna KaźmierczakTomasz NajgrakowskiRoman JaszczakGrzegorz RączkaSandra Wajchman-ŚwitalskaMDPI AGarticlepineweight of leaved twigsneedle weightvolume of leaved twigsneedle volumedendrometric traitsPlant ecologyQK900-989ENForests, Vol 12, Iss 1502, p 1502 (2021)
