“…The trial plots established and the results obtained can be used in the future to address other important aspects of selective thinning related to its potential use as an adaptation measure in the context of climate change and tree devitalization. This has already been confirmed in other trials with other tree species (Bobinac & Andrašev 2009, Sohn et al 2016, Diaconu et al 2015, Diaconu et al 2017, van der Maarten 2013 and is significant considering the fact that silver lime has been assessed as suitable mixed tree species for future use in Central Europe as an admixed species (Heinrichs et al 2021).…”

This paper analyses the cumulative effects of selective thinning and thinning from below on diameter and basal area increments of target trees after 25/26 years in 52, 69- and 86-year-old silver lime (Tilia tomentosa Moench) stands. Two target tree collectives were analysed: (1) elite trees selected between 1993–1994 from permanent sampling plots (selective thinning method), and (2) a ‘comparable collective’ of target trees selected in 2019 (25/26 years later) according to the same criteria as the elite trees, in the same stands thinned from below. Elite trees that were selectively thinned had: higher diameter, basal area and volume per tree, higher diameter and basal area increment for a given time period, and lower slenderness coefficients compared to the target trees that were thinned from below at 52 and 69 yr. While diameter increment decreases with age, and differences between elite trees of different ages are clearly delineated, diameter increments of trees thinned from below are not significantly different at 52 and 69 yr. In addition, basal area increment of trees is highest at 69 yr with selective thinning. When thinning from below, there were no significant differences in basal area increments between trees at 69 and 86 yr. Silver lime shows a strong growth response after selective thinning at ages 25/26 and 44 yr. However, our results show that this response is less pronounced when selective thinning begins at 61 yr.

“…The basis for comparing the best collectives tended under different thinning methods was similar in other works (e.g. Bobinac & Andrašev 2009, Manetti et al 2016, Pelleri et al 2021.…”
