Number Of Individuals

In order to compare the development of strata in the early stages of secondary forest succession with vessel parameters of the tree species, a forest inventory was carried out in 4-year (Q1: 48 m2), 11-year (Q2: 400 m2) and 20-year (Q3: 400 m2) forests and vessel parameters were investigated from stem cross sections of 18 species obtained in Q2. Thirty three species (21 families), 77 species (35 families), 39 species (20 families) were found in Ql, Q2, Q3, respectively. The percentage of dead individuals, dead stems and the percentage of individuals with multiple stems increased with time after clear cutting. Also, the total D2H of Q3 was 26.1 times that of Q1, and the development of strata started in Q2 and Q3. The image analysis of vessel size, area and number of vessels revealed that species which reach the forest canopy had a large D2H value, vessel diameter and area, while species which remain near the forest floor had smaller ones. Poecilanthe effusa (Huber) Ducke is an example of the latter case, with a large number of individuals and abundant sprouting of new stems from stumps, but with high mortality.

Species Establishment

We reconstructed the height-growth histories of individual Quercusrubra L., Fraxinusamericana L., and Acerrubrum L. growing in a 42-year-old Populusgrandidentata Michx. – Populustremuloides Michx. dominated forest. Species established contemporaneously early in the sere, but temporally separated periods of peak individual establishment occurred among species, such that the majority of Q. rubra established prior to the majority of F. americana and A. rubrum. Species vertical stratification by age 42 paralleled establishment patterns. Height-growth rates were similar among species and between different-aged individuals within species. This suggests that species vertical stratification 42 years after stand initiation was primarily a function of differences in species establishment patterns.
