Journal Title: Лісівництво і агролісомеліорація - Year 2015, Vol 126, Issue
Abstract
The area of birch stands in the forest resources of forest enterprises, which are entirely located in the Left-bank Forest Steppe, amounts from 86.1 hectares (the State Enterprise "Chuguevo-Babchanske Forestry") to 554.3 hectares (the State Enterprise "Gadyatske Forestry"). Birch stands area and its part in the forest area of analyzed enterprises decrease with longitude. In analyzed Forest Enterprises of the Left-bank Forest Steppe, the mean age of birch stands varies from 31 to 50 years old; mean site class (bonitet) is 1A. Mean density of stocking and stock of birch stands tend to decrease from North to South. Birch stands in the forest area of analyzed enterprises are represented in 32 forest types, mainly in the fresh and moist relatively poor conditions (subor), fresh and moist relatively fertile (sugrud) and fresh fertile (grud) site conditions. Obtained data must be used during investigations of sanitary condition of silver birch and the causes of its worsening.
