Peculiarities of phytoindication methods for determination of forest condition types on forest monіtoring plots
Journal Title: Лісівництво і агролісомеліорація - Year 2013, Vol 122, Issue
Abstract
On the basis of vegetation data from forest monitoring plots methods of phytoindication assessments were proposed and tested that allow to obtain a sufficiently accurate determination of edaphic factors as trophicity and soil moisture according to edaphic grid by Alexeyev-Pogrebnyak. The limitations on application of the proposed method for determining forest condition type are following: heterogeneous conditions and/or meso- and micromozaic on monitoring plot, anthropogenic impact on forest vegetation, forest stand age stage, insufficient sample size. The boundaries of edaphic ranges of possible forest plants growing in the north-east of Ukraine according to Alekseev-Pogrebnyak grid were clarified for 50 species by trophotopes, for 61 species – by gigrotopes.
