The aim of this bachelor work was to evaluate the influence of various surface preparation and the effect of various ways of treating forest plantation against forest weeds on the subsequent growth and browsing by wild game. The work was implemented at Lesy ČR s.p. (Forests of the Czech Republic), in the forest range Království. Two experimental plots were marked off in selected localities. In one plot there were crushed wood chips left on the ground, in the other there were branches thrown into piles. The browsing of trees took place at 9 experimental plots and 2 transects. The smallest overall height in 2014 was evident on young plants on the plot with wood chips -- 53.8 cm. The highest growth for the year 2014 was detected on the areas with individual trimming -- 7.8 cm. The most damage by game was monitored on the plot with an area--wide herbicide application, where a total of 31 % young plants were damaged, the least damaged seemed to be the wood chipped area with a total damage of 7%. The browsing of trees in the spruce only transect resulted in 5.4 %. The spruce--beech transect was damaged by 28.6 %, with the common beech being damaged by browsing on 78 % of specimens, browsing damage was not detected on Norway spruce. |
