Aboveground Biomass Productivity Relates to Stand Age in Early-Stage European Beech Plantations, Western Carpathians

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Our study focused on the quantification of aboveground biomass stock and aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) in young, planted beech (Fagus sylvatica L.). We selected 15 young even-aged stands targeting moderately fertile sites. Three rectangular plots were established within each stand, and all trees were annually measured for height and stem basal diameter from 2020 to 2024. For biomass modeling, we conducted destructive sampling of 111 beech trees. Each tree was separated into foliage and woody components, oven-dried, and weighed to determine dry mass. Allometric models were developed using these predictors: tree height, stem basal diameter, and their combination. Biomass accumulation was closely correlated with stand age, allowing us to scale tree-level models to stand-level predictions using age as a common predictor. Biomass stocks of both woody parts and foliage increased with stand age, reaching 48 Mg ha-1 and 6 Mg ha-1, respectively, at the age of 15 years. A comparative analysis indicated generally higher biomass in naturally regenerated stands, except for foliage at age 16, where planted stands caught up with the naturally regenerated ones. Our findings contribute to a better understanding of forest productivity dynamics and offer practical models for estimating carbon sequestration potential in managed forest ecosystems.
