Název v původním jazyce

Disturbance history of an old-growth sub-alpine Picea abies stand in the Bohemian Forest, Czech Republic

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Our study provides strong evidence that these forests were historically shaped by infrequent, moderate- to high-severity natural disturbances. Our methods, however, could not definitively identify the agent(s) of these disturbances. Nevertheless, the recent mid-1990s windstorm and the ensuing spruce bark beetle outbreak may provide an analogue for past disturbance, as the duration and severity of these events could easily explain past patterns of growth response and recruitment in our results. Thus, itseems reasonable to assume the interaction of windstorms and bark beetles seen in the contemporary landscape has occurred historically. Finally, our results suggest that the previously documented elevation gradient in forest structure may not be relatedto elevation per se (lower temperatures and shorter growing season) but rather to changes in disturbance severity mediated by elevation.
