Abstract

Abstract The condition of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst) in the Białowieża Forest is categorized as a crisis. It is believed that due to the cooling in the Holocene, the then-relict species of the forest, silver fir (Abies alba Mill.), disappeared from its ecosystems and then spruce appeared. Today’s climate change presents challenges to our civilization, including to forestry. However, there is no information at all about how this affected the silver fir in the Białowieża Forest. In the Polish part of the forest (subcompartment 498 Сi, Białowieża Forest District), for the first time a comprehensive study has been carried out on the condition of mature fir trees planted by man and on their progeny. The results indicate high forestry-taxation indicators of trees, resistance to the abiotic factor and competitiveness. Their constitution corresponds to local environmental conditions. However, the disproportionately small number of adult natural regeneration of old firs indicated some kind of malfunction in the mechanism of natural generational change.

欧洲银杉——Białowieża森林中垂死的挪威云杉的替代品?

挪威云杉(Picea abies (L.))的生长条件喀斯特)在Białowieża森林被归类为危机。据信，由于全新世的变冷，当时的森林孑遗物种银杉(冷杉)从其生态系统中消失，然后出现了云杉。今天的气候变化给我们的文明带来挑战，包括对林业的挑战。然而，没有任何关于这是如何影响Białowieża森林中的银杉的信息。在森林的波兰部分(Białowieża林区498分区Сi)，首次对人工种植的成熟冷杉树及其后代的状况进行了全面研究。结果表明，林税指标高，对非生物因素的抗性强，竞争力强。它们的构造与当地的环境条件相适应。然而，老杉木成虫自然再生数量过少，说明自然代际变化机制存在一定的故障。
