“…It can be expected to gradually disappear from the stand structures, even without active intervention. Priority must be given to the restoration of its stands by other tree species, depending on the specific local conditions and circumstances (Moravčík 1994;Balcar & Kacálek 2008;Špulák & Dušek 2009;Novák et al 2011;Špulák 2012).…”

Only 1.82% of the Czech forests are covered by the introduced (exotic, non-native) tree species, they represent only a very minor part of the forest area in the Czech Republic. Despite this fact under certain circumstances and locally, they can play an important role in the forest restoration of declined forests. The main non-native tree species used in the Czech Republic are: black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.), Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii [Mirbel] Franco), grand fir (Abies grandis [Douglas ex D. Don] Lindl.), black walnut (Juglans nigra L.), northern red oak (Quercus rubra L.), and blue spruce (Picea pungens Engelm.). Other tree species are cultivated on very small areas, despite their much larger potential. The aim of the presented review paper is to summarize information on the introduced tree species, available especially from national sources, and give comprehensive information concerning the potential and risk of their use in the conditions of the Czech Republic. The authors mention also other tree species eligible for silviculture under current as well as future climatic circumstances. The current area and silvicultural potential in the climate changing conditions are analysed and summarized.

Effects of air pollution and climatic factors on Norway spruce forests in the Orlické hory Mts. (Czech Republic), 1979–2014

The condition was evaluated of tissues of declining young spruce stands in selected localities of the Orlické hory Mts. It refers to stands occurring in top parts affected by an air pollution disaster in the last century. Several types of damage of a different symptomatic character were distinguished. A high NO x input appears to be the risk factor of spruce dieback in the Orlické hory Mts. One of the main causes in the complex of factors is the unbalanced cause of meteorological factors during the year and unbalance in mineral nutrition. The result is decrease in lignification, imma-turity of tissues before the winter period and increased susceptibility of damaged tissues to parasites. Several potentially pathogenic species of micromycetes have been identified which can be considered to be significant pathogenic agents in case of declining spruce in the Orlické hory Mts., however, not a main cause. Fytopatologické a histologické aspekty chřadnutí smrku v Orlických horách M. ČERMÁK, M. MARTINKOVÁ, D. PALOVČÍKOVÁ, L. JANKOVSKÝ Lesnická a dřevařská fakulta, Mendelova zemědělská a lesnická univerzita v Brně, Brno, Česká republika ABSTRAKT: Hodnotili jsme stav pletiv chřadnoucích mladých smrčin na vybraných lokalitách Orlických hor. Jedná se o porosty ve vrcholových partiích, které byly postiženy imisně ekologickou kalamitou v minulém století. Bylo rozlišeno několik typů poškození s odlišným symptomatickým obrazem. Rizikovým faktorem chřadnutí smrku v Orlických horách je vysoký vstup dusíku NO x. Za jednu z hlavních příčin v komplexu faktorů je možné označit nevyrovnaný průběh meteorolo-gických prvků během roku a disbalanci minerální výživy. Důsledkem je snížená lignifikace, nevyzrálost pletiv před zimním obdobím, zvýšená vnímavost poškozených pletiv vůči parazitickým organismům. Bylo identifikováno několik potenciálně patogenních druhů mikromycet, které mohou být považovány za významný patogenní agens v případě chřadnutí smrku v Orlických horách, nikoli však za hlavní příčinu.
