Genetyczna reaktywność buka zwyczajnego na warunki glebowe

The paper presents the results of the assessment of the genotype−soil interaction effect on adaptive traits in beech provenances in gene conservation areas of the Regional Bank of Genes (RBG) in the territory administered by the Katowice Regional Directorate of the State Forests. The level of Ca concentrations had no significant effect on survival and growth of beech in the juvenile phase. The interaction effect significantly increased with tree age, while the genotypic effect was less significant. The research confirmed the ecotypic nature of genetic variation in beech.
