Development of alder carr after the abandonment of wet grasslands during the last 70 years
Original language description
The development of alder carr was reconstructed at five sites in the Czech Republic, using historical aerial photographs and methods of dendrochronology. The aims were to investigate the succession from wet grasslands to alder carr at sites previously intensively managed for agriculture and to find out the role of fluctuations in the groundwater table in the observed stand dynamics and tree growth. The spread of forest prevailing until the 1970s was disrupted by a large-scale dieback of forest stands infour of the five sites after the 1970s, followed by an increase in patch heterogeneity. The radial growth increment in Alnus glutinosa has been affected predominately by local environmental factors, probably including the changing degree of waterlogging. Forest dieback was presumably connected with a lesser extent of drainage channels. Our results indicate that observed successional pathways at sites of alder carr were probably caused by local changes in the groundwater table.
