Abstract

The influence of clear-cut and uniformly gradual felling of main use in oxalis and bracken spruce forests on the species composition of the lower layers of vegetation in the first years after felling is considered. It was found that the grass cover before the felling on the test plots under study is represented mainly by edification forest plant species. In the rich growing conditions in the first years after clearcutting, the species most typical for a mature forest stand completely disappear from the living ground cover – Rhytidiadelphus triquetrus, Pleurozium schreberi, Hylocomium splendens, Plagiomnium medium, Dicranum polysetum. Meadow and weed heliophytes appear: Sonchus arvensis, Rumex acetosella, Vicia cracca, Polygonum aviculare, Capsella bursa-pastoris. Intensive renewal of Populus tremula and distribution of Rubus idaeus were noted. A comparative assessment of the projective cover and species diversity shows that sharp successive processes occur in the living ground cover. These indicators after uniform-gradual felling indicate the preservation of a stable phytocenosis, typical for the given growing conditions. The species of forest flora are mostly preserved here. Without proper care, after the 1st method of uniform-gradual felling, the formation of secondary small-leaved forests.
