Abstract

In this work, site index curves are developed for Pinus sylvestris in Greece, because of the ecological, social and economic importance of the species. Data from the forest of the Central Rhodope Mountains of north-eastern Greece are used. Thirty one dominant trees, which had the mean height of the 100 tallest trees per hectare were randomly selected and cut, in the 1990s. For each sampled tree a stem analysis was conducted. The selected height-age model for Pinus sylvestris was . The mean annual increment from stem analyses was equal to 0.212 m, corresponding to a base age of 68 years. The height estimation, calculated by the selected model, for a 68 year-old tree, is 23 m (SI23). Using the quadratic model as the guide curve for the development of anamorphic site index curves, we produced two more curves, SI20 and SI27. The main findings of this research are that Pinus sylvestris seems to grow faster in height in the productive site of the present study compared with that of Sweden, its growth is similar to that of the two most productive sites in forests in northwestern Spain, and it seems comparable to the fairly productive sites of northwestern Turkey.
希腊东北部“罗多比山脉”中部混交林西尔维斯松立地质量评价
在这项工作中,由于该物种的生态、社会和经济重要性,我们为希腊的西尔维斯特松(Pinus sylvestris)开发了场地指数曲线。数据来自希腊东北部中部罗多彼山脉的森林。20世纪90年代,随机抽取31棵优势树,每公顷最高的100棵树的平均高度进行采伐。对每棵采样树进行茎分析。选取的松林高龄模型为。茎干分析的年平均增量为0.212 m,对应于68岁的基本年龄。所选模型计算的树高估计为23 m (SI23)。利用二次模型作为变形位点指数曲线发展的指导曲线,我们又生成了两条曲线SI20和SI27。本研究的主要发现是,与瑞典的生产地点相比,在本研究的生产地点,sylvestris似乎在高度上生长得更快,它的生长与西班牙西北部森林中两个最多产的地点相似,它似乎与土耳其西北部相当多产的地点相当。
