Dynamiczne krzywe bonitacyjne dla drzewostanów sosnowych Puszczy Niepołomickiej

The aim of the research was to evaluate, under the conditions of the Niepołomice Primeval Forest, the usefulness of site index models applied in forest practice in Poland and to develop a local system of site index curves for Scots pine. The research materials included measurement results for the trees growing on 74 circular, 0.05 ha sample plots. On the basis of the completed analyses, the age−related change in stand heights in the Niepołomice Primeval Forest is different than the height growth described by means of the site index models used in forest practice in Poland. As a result of several−stage analyses, a dynamic system of site index curves was developed for the Niepołomice Primeval Forest allowing calculation of the site index, as well as forecast of the height of stands at any age.
