Regeneration patterns after intermediate wind disturbance in an old-growth Fagus-Abies forest in southeastern Slovenia

Original language description

We studied patterns of tree regeneration in relation to canopy structure in a 1-ha plot damaged by an intermediate windstorm and a 1-ha control plot regulated by small-scale canopy gaps in an old-growth Fagus sylvatica-Abies alba forest, southeastern Slovenia. In the windthrow plot, a maze of interconnected gaps covered 55 % of the plot, while more discrete canopy openings covered 27 % of the control plot. The different canopy structures resulted in marked differences in the density and spatial patternsof tree regeneration in the two plots. Fagus dominated the regeneration layer in both plots, while Abies occurred infrequently. For Fagus, there were nearly six fold less seedlings, but twice as many saplings and understory trees in the windthrow plot compared to the control plot. Overall, the spatial patterns of Fagus seedlings, saplings, and understory trees were clumped in both plots, but only saplings and understory trees were aggregated under canopy gaps in the control plot, wherea
