Initial growth of native and introduced hardwoods at the afforested agricultural lands – preliminary results

Original language description

The presented study is aimed at evaluation of the plantations of wide range of tree species at a research plot with typical site conditions for a large proportion of the Czech territory. The study plot was established at the Doubek locality in the Central Bohemia, cca 20 km E of Prague, in the 2nd and 3rd vegetation altitudinal zone on the arable land of medium fertility, corresponding to natural medium rich beech-oak and oak-beech forests (Querceto fagetum and Fageto quercetum mesotrophicum). The plantations were established in the autumn 2019. Besides the control plot, two variants with soil improvement were established, representing the surface application and ploughing-in of ameliorative materials Humac (1,0 t.ha-1) and Alginit (1,5 t.ha-1). From the hardwood tree species, the plantations were established of plane tree (Platanus acerifolia), sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa), Turkish hazel (Corylus colurna), wild cherry (Prunus avium), service tree (Sorbus torminalis), English oak (Quercus robur), lime tree, basswood (Tilia cordata) and hornbeam (Carpinus betulus). Other tree species were studied for comparison, such as Scots pine (Pinus silvestris), giant sequoia (Sequoiadendron sempervirens), cedar (Cedrus atlantica) and dawn redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides). In the next years, at the end of each vegetation season, the height growth was measured and evaluated. To the year 2023, no big effects were observed of soil improving materials. The site is naturally relatively rich, as well as the former use of agricultural lands contributed to the soil fertility improvement, so the soil improving with adding soil conditioners did not show big effects. The next research of the increment and soil effects must be applied.
