Features of windfalls in beech forests of Carpathians
Journal Title: Лісівництво і агролісомеліорація - Year 2016, Vol 129, Issue
Abstract
Indicators of windfalls in the beech and spruce zones of the Carpathians are considered. The estimation of their distribution on the altitude of hornbeam-beech stands is done. Wind resistance ranking of the forest species for the beech forest zone is adduced. The features of the windfalls situations occurrence in the Latoritsa basin depending on exposure and steepness of slopes and on the altitude are characterized. A significant wind resistance weakening of beech forests during storm winds is reported. Quantitative changes of forestry and taxation indicators of the beech forest stands under the influence of partial windfalls are presented. Measures on the beech forests stability strengthen by natural forest stands restoring and by implementation of the against windfall protection system. Main forestry parameters of the windfall forest areas after the storm May 15, 2014 are given in this respect. It was found that forest stability does not significantly depend on its species composition in extreme weather situations with storm winds.
