Norway spruce monocultures and their transformation to close-to-nature forests from the point of view of soil changes in the Czech Republic.

Original language description

At present, the proportion of Norway spruce stands in the Czech Republic amounts to about 54%. Natural composition should amount to 11% and recommended proportion is 36.5%. At present, research is particularly focussed on: defining the properties of forest sites unsuitable for growing spruce monocultures, changes in the cycle of elements (particularly nitrogen), processes of the organic residue decomposition, biodiversity of plant species in the various degree of transformation and relationships betweenthe condition of nutrition, soil properties and climatic conditions. A network of demonstration areas has been established for comparative studies of forest stands in the various degree of transformation. The meaning of transformation does not generallyconsist in the replacement of spruce monocultures by stands of other species but in assigning such a position to spruce where a multi-purpose forest will be in accordance with the forest site capacity.
