Douglas fir in Ukraine: distribution, forest plantations characteristics, and perspective of its cultivation
Journal Title: Лісівництво і агролісомеліорація - Year 2013, Vol 122, Issue
Abstract
Based on the country forest inventory database report (on Jan 1, 2012), the forest covered areas with Douglas fir dominance were estimated within the administrative regions of Ukraine, as well as within the categories of forest and plantations, their orographic conditions, and the altitude. The number of stand characteristics were also analyzed, such as the distribution of stands grouped by relative stand density index, composition, quality class (site class), stem wood stock, stand age classes, stand development stages, and forest types (site quality). It is specified that the age class structure of mixed Douglas fir plantations is imbalanced towards younger mixed stands. It is noted that in several western regions of Ukraine Douglas fir is considered a promising tree species for forest plantations.
