Density and Height Structure of Seedlings in Subalpine Spruce Forests of Central Europe: Logs vs. Stumps as a Favourable Substrate

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The aim of this study was to assess the differences in the process of seedling colonization between logs and stumps. Stumps and non-CWD microsites dominated by V. myrtillus, supported a higher proportion of taller seedlings per plot compared to the smallseedlings growing on logs and non-CWD dominated by A. distentifolium ground-cover. The disproportion in regeneration densities between the stumps and the original logs decreased with increasing stages of decay. The tallest regeneration growing on stumps(root-soil plates) was significantly older than that growing on the logs (stems). Based on these two latter findings, the stumps appeared to provide suitable seedling substrates several years earlier than the logs did. Therefore, we conclude that the stumps play a more important role (relative to their covered area, 21?28 m2ha?1) in terms of suitable microsites for regeneration, than the logs do.
