STUDIES ON BEECH BURNING AFTER OCCASIONAL CUTTING

Abstract

The research was carried out in 2018 in the 4th plot of block 146 of Jūrava Forestry of the State Forestry Office. The researches were carried out in a stand with the following species composition: first section of the stand - 10P B, second section of the stand - 9Bu 1B, vegetation type Ncl (oxalidosa) type. When assessing the parameters of the beech sedges after random fellings, 4 equal parts of the area, each with an area of ​​about 30 ares, were distinguished in the research object. The first part was left as a control, nothing crossed in this part. In the second part, cuttings were made up to 0.7 stand density, in the third part a stand density of  0.4 was left, and in the fourth a stand density of 0.2 was left. In these parts, accounting barrels were placed, which were evaluated: number of trees, height of trees, length of annual shoots, diameter. As a result of the research, it was found that the tallest and largest beech trees appeared in the variant of prepared soil with a fineness of 0.2. The most abundant number of beech trees per hectare was found in the prepared soil variant with 0.7 siltiness (15625 units/ha). The longest spring shoots of 2023 were determined in the variant of prepared soil with 0.2 saliency, and the longest average lengths of different annual shoots also appeared in this variant. The highest and largest pine achenes were determined in the variant of the prepared soil with a fineness of 0.2. Also, in this variant, the most abundant pine acorns were found (13,750 units/ha).
