Forest edges in managed riparian forests in the eastern part of the Czech Republic
Original language description
Forest edges usually possess unique composition and characteristics compared to interior forests. Knowledge of the width of the forest edges and their attributes are important in support of forest management as well as conservation decisions. We have assessed the extent and magnitude of the forest edge effect on the stand structure and tree characteristics in managed riparian forests in the Czech Republic. We measured diameter at breast height (DBH), tree height, height of the first green branch, tree tilt and hollows in stems in 50 transects and subsequently calculated stand descriptors such as basal area, tree density, crown length ratio, and slenderness ratio. The results support existence of a clear threshold between forest edge and forest interiorconditions for all variables but proportion of trees with hollows and trees leaning to interior. The width of the forest influenced by proximity to forest edge was found to be between 4 and 18 m, with an average width of 8 m. Density of
