Abstract
Wood and phloem formation databases are important for understanding the effects of climate change and extreme weather events on species composition, tree vitality, wood production and wood quality in Slovenian forests. In this paper, we present the latest results on the radial growth of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) at two sites in Slovenia, Panška reka (PAN - 400 m a. s .l.) and Menina planina (MEN - 1200 m a. s .l.) in 2009-2011. The focus was on the seasonal dynamics of early and latewood, and early and late phloem formation. We found that site conditions greatly affected the seasonal dynamics of wood and phloem formation, which was reflected in the width and structure of annual increments. At the higher elevation MEN site, the growing season was about a month shorter (about 4 months long), which resulted in 39% and 15% narrower wood and phloem increments, respectively. At MEN, the transition from early to latewood was observed on average only a week later than at PAN, while the transition from early to late phloem occurred on average 20 days later at MEN than at PAN. Information on the impact of site conditions on radial growth of spruce and wood quality is important for all stakeholders in the forest-wood value chain, as it can help to take appropriate management measures of adaptation to changing conditions.

Baze podatkov o nastajanju lesa in floema so pomembne za razumevanje vpliva podnebnih sprememb in izrednih vremenskih dogodkov na vrstno sestavo, vitalnost dreves, produkcijo ter kakovost lesa v slovenskih gozdovih. V tem članku predstavljamo najnovejše rezultate o debelinski rasti navadne smreke (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) z dveh rastišč v Sloveniji, na Panški reki (PAN - 400 m n. v.) in Menini planini (MEN - 1200 m n. v.) v letih 2009-2011. Poudarek je bil na sezonski dinamiki nastajanja ranega in kasnega lesa ter ranega in kasnega floema. Ugotovili smo, da rastiščne razmere v veliki meri vplivajo na sezonsko dinamiko nastajanja lesa in floema, kar se odraža v širini in strukturi prirastkov. Na višje ležečem rastišču MEN je bila rastna sezona približno mesec dni krajša (dolga slabe 4 mesece), posledično so bili letni prirastki ožji, in sicer v lesu za 39 % in v floemu za 15 %. Na MEN smo prehod iz ranega v kasni les v povprečju opazili le teden dni kasneje kot na PAN, medtem ko je prehod iz ranega v kasni floem nastopil v poprečju 20 dni kasneje. Informacije o vplivu rastiščnih razmer na debelinsko rast smreke in kakovost lesa so pomembne za vse deležnike v gozdno-lesni verigi, saj so lahko v pomoč pri sprejemanju ustreznih ukrepov upravljanja za prilagoditev spremenjenim razmeram. |
