Dynamics of the current growth of the small-leaved linden tree stand (Tilia cordata Mill.)

Investigation of the periodic annual increment volume (PAIV) linden stand on a permanent research plot in the Republic of Bashkortostan, pursued three goals: 1) to evaluate the PAIV; 2) comparison of methods for estimating PAIV based on long-term observations and by single measurement; 3) to compare the PAIV of the studied stand with the data of existing yield tables. PAIV assessment is performed in several ways: i) by repeated measurements of the volume of the stand, taking into account mortality and ingrowth of trees over a 33-year period; ii) through of the percentage PAIV of ten felleed model trees and the volume of stand without bark; ii) along the straight line of the PAIV of model trees; iv) according to the elementary PAIV of trees of Prof. M.L. Dvoretsky; v) according to the method of simple percent increment of basal area, using information for the last 5 years from cores, and of simple percent increment of height of trees. The data obtained showed that P of the tree stand at the age of 57 years calculated using model trees (methods ii), iii) and iv)) were 9.86, 8.63 и 9.47 m3ha–1year–1 accordingly. At the age of 62-90 years they vary between 2.6 and 9.4 m3ha–1year–1. Method v) for estimating PAIV, based on the use of growth analysis on cores and the probabilistic rate of increase in height according to assortment tables taking into account the mortality of trees in the forest stand, can be safely used in the absence of the possibility of cutting down model trees and measuring height gain on growing trees. The PAIV values of the studied tree stand exceed the data from local yield tables and are comparable in value to German tables. It is concluded that further research is necessary using a larger volume of data to obtain statistically confirmed results of the influence of climate on the PAIV of linden plantings and adjustments to local yield tables.
