Beech and silver fir's different light response along the latitudinal gradient
Original language description
On eleven permanent plots, positioned in uneven aged beech and fir forests above 800m along the Balkan's peninsula the physiological (quantum yield) and morphological response (degree of plagiotropic growth) to light intensity was studied in three predefined light categories during three consecutive growing periods (2011, 2012, 2013). Responses were compared between light categories and between managed and old growth reserves to predict possible future responses in beech and fir. Meteorological data showed decrease of cumulative precipitation, without change in temperature between plots. Foliar nitrogen amount also confirmed no significant differences between studied categories and plots. Beech was most efficient in the open area light conditions, while fir under shelter. Physiological response (Φ) for beech increased towards SE and reached its maximal values in the middle of studied transect, while fir's response decreased from the NE part of the transect towards SE. Tendency to plagiotropism decreased from NE to SE in both species, indicating less shade tolerance by approaching towards southern sites. Φ in old growth reserves confirmed shift in category of forest edge towards open light for both beech and fir, and better shade tolerance than neighbouring managed forests. Silvicultural implications are discussed.
