Salvage-Logging after Windstorm Leads to Structural and Functional Homogenization of Understory Layer and Delayed Spruce Tree Recovery in Tatra Mts., Slovakia

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Stand-replacing disturbance and post-disturbance salvage-logging influence forest succession in different ways, however, limited knowledge regarding how salvage-logging affects vegetation patterns compared to natural development of forest ecosystems is still lacking. In this study, we described the diversity pattern of understory vegetation and tree regeneration in mountain spruce forest of Tatra Mountains, northern Slovakia, where a high severity windstorm affecting over 10,000 ha occurred in 2004. The area was consequently subjected to salvage-logging. We asked how the species composition, vegetation diversity, and its spatial heterogeneity were modified by severe salvage-logging. Vascular plants, deadwood coverage, and tree species densities were monitored on non-intervention (NI, n = 108) and salvage-logged (SL, n = 95) experimental plots (spatially nested design, sample plot area 3,14 m(2)) six and seven years after disturbance, respectively. The NI sites were structurally more diverse with post
