Abstract: Influence of introduced northern red oak stands (Quercus rubra L.) on herb understory with comparison with herb understory of autochthonous Sessile oak (Quercus petraea agg. L) and Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) was observed in Louny region area on 14 plots. The analysis of the ground vegetation was performed using classical phytosociological methods. Significant changes were not determined in the site character, when comparing particular tree species stands, the differences consisted especially in the natur… Show more

The diversity of planted forest stands of the alien species Quercus rubra L. in Central Europe was studied. The northern red oak is a neophyte that has been cultivated in Europe since the seventeenth century as an ornamental as well as a useful tree. In 38 phytosociological relevés from Slovakia, Poland and the Czech Republic, we recorded a total of 223 vascular plant taxa, of which 10% were alien (with 9 invasive species). The stands were species-poor compared to the most native forests, with an average of 17 species per relevé, and most of the species had a low coverage value (around 5% on average). The representation of endangered species was very low, only three species were recorded. The dense canopy of Q. rubra and large cover of litter consisting mainly of fallen old red oak leaves affected the richness of the undergrowth. The mean cover of the tree layer was 84%, the mean cover of the shrub layer was 9% and the mean cover of the herb layer was 22%. The EuroVegChecklist Expert System assigned the relevés to five classes: Carpino-Fagetea sylvaticae, Alno glutinosae-Populetea albae, Rhamno-Prunetea, Epilobietea angustifolii and Robinietea.

The impacts of climate change on forest stands are manifested in different ways and intensity. Changes in the species composition of forest stands due to the different tolerance of forest species to the effects of climate change are one of the consequences too. In this context, introduced tree species are often mentioned as a possible replacement for dying autochthonous species. Of the deciduous species, it is mainly northern red oak. The aim of this paper is to compare selected quantitative (number of trees, basal area, merchantable volume, basal area increment and volume increment) and qualitative (crop trees) characteristics in one stand of the northern red oak at the age of 54 years and in two stands of durmast oak (age 57 and 58 years) in comparable site conditions. Achieved results showed higher values in all investigated quantitative parameters in the northern red oak stand compared to durmast oak stands. The merchantable volume in the northern red oak stand was 473 m3 per hectare in the tended subplots and 742 m3 ha–1 in the control ones. On the subplots with durmast oak, it was only from 228 to 289 m3 ha–1 in the subplots with thinning and 226 to 357 m3 ha–1 in the control areas. The same results were obtained for the category of crop trees. It means 230 m3 ha–1 for the northern red oak and 28 to 121 m3 ha–1 for durmast oak. The well-known fact about the higher quantitative production of the northern red oak compared to durmast oak was confirmed.
