Abstract

Provenance tests of forest tree species are important experiments in silviculture and tree breeding. Their results provide information about provenances' growth, adaptability, and other features. The research aimed to determine the dynamics of growth and tree shape of common beech plants per provenances in the international provenance test in Bosnia and Herzegovina to choose the best provenances considering wood production and quality. Research was conducted in the provenance test containing eight provenances from Bosnia and Herzegovina, four from Germany, three from Serbia, two each from Croatia, Romania, and Switzerland, and one from Hungary. Provenance test was established in 2007 by planting 2-year-old and 3-year old seedlings. Height and root collar diameter were measured, and tree shape was assessed in 2019. Data were processed in SPSS 26.0. Descriptive statistics, variance analysis, multiple Duncan's test for all traits, and Pearson's coefficient of corelation among morphological traits and tree shape were calculated. Variance for the height and root collar diameter showed statistically significant differences among different ages of plants and among provenances. Provenance from Croatia (Dilj Čaglinski) had the highest, and provenance from Romania (Alba-Iulia) had the lowest average height. The highest average value of root collar diameter had provenance Dilj Čaglinski, and the lowest value had provenance Sihlwald (Switzerland). The highest percentage of category 10 (ideal tree form) had provenance Bad Wildbad (Germany), and categories 1-4 (no silviculture value) had provenance Alba-Iulia (Romania). Pearson's coefficient showed that height, root collar diameter, and tree shape are highly correlated. Considering all the above, when planning forest-breeding works, it is recommended to continue the research and favor provenances with the best growth and tree shape.

普通山毛榉(Fagus sylvatica L.)在国际种源试验中的生长动态和树形

林木种源试验是造林和林木育种的重要试验。他们的研究结果提供了有关种源生长、适应性和其他特征的信息。本研究旨在通过在波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那进行的国际种源试验，确定每个种源的普通山毛榉植物的生长动态和树形，以从木材产量和质量的角度选择最佳种源。在种源测试中进行了研究，包括来自波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那的八个种源，来自德国的四个，来自塞尔维亚的三个，分别来自克罗地亚、罗马尼亚和瑞士的两个，以及来自匈牙利的一个。种源试验于2007年通过种植2岁和3岁的幼苗建立。测量了高度和根领直径，并在2019年对树形进行了评估。数据采用SPSS 26.0。计算了描述统计学、方差分析、所有性状的多重邓肯检验以及形态性状与树形的皮尔逊相关系数。高度和根颈直径的方差在不同年龄的植物和不同种源之间显示出统计学上的显著差异。克罗地亚种源（DiljČaglinski）的平均高度最高，罗马尼亚种源（Alba Iulia）的平均身高最低。根颈直径平均值最高的是DiljČaglinski种源，最低的是Sihlwald种源（瑞士）。第10类（理想树形）的种源为Bad Wildbad（德国），第1-4类（无造林价值）的种来源为Alba Iulia（罗马尼亚）。Pearson系数表明，株高、根颈直径和树形高度相关。考虑到以上情况，在规划森林育种工作时，建议继续研究，并选择生长和树形最好的种源。

期刊介绍： The primary aim of the SEEFOR journal is to publish original, novel and quality articles and thus contribute to the development of scientific, research, operational and other activities in the field of forestry. Besides scientific, the objectives of the SEEFOR are educational and informative as well. SEEFOR should stimulate intensive professional and academic work, teaching, as well as physical cooperation of institutions and interdisciplinary collaboration, a faster ascendance and affirmation of young scientific personnel. SEEFOR should contribute to the stronger cooperation between the science, practice and society, and to the overall dissemination of the forestry way-of thinking. The scope of the journal’s interests encompasses all ecological, economical, technical, technological, social and other aspects of forestry and wood technology. The journal is open for publishing research from all geographical zones and study locations, whether they are conducted in natural forests, plantations or urban environments, as long as methods used in the research and obtained results are of high interest and importance to South-east European and international forestry.
