Budowa, struktura i dynamika górnoreglowych borów świerkowych o charakterze pierwotnym w dolinach Pańszczycy i Stawów Gąsienicowych (Tatrzański Park Narodowy) w okresie kontrolnym 1991 - 2002

The research presents changes (in the period of 1991−2002) in species composition, volume, dbh structure, height and storey structure, increment value, self−thinning rate and regeneration dynamics of the primeval−type spruce forests of the upper montane zone in the Pańszczyca Valley and the Stawy Gąsiennicowe Valley in the Tatra National Park on the example of three permanent experimental plots. The stands under study (as compared with other stands in the Polish Carpathians from the similar altitudinal zone, feature high productivity expressed by the current annual volume increment value of 4.1−4.5 cu.m./ha, diverse structure and composition depending on the represented stages and phases of stand development, as well as high stand stability.
