A more intensive integrated research and development approach to the work carried out on the growth on sandy soils of stands of Leuce poplars, primarily the white poplar (Populus alba) and its natural hybrid the grey poplar (Populus x canescens), has been adopted in recent years, revealing several factors influencing stand growth. The fact that certain ecological factors influencing fundamentally the growth of trees have become unfavourable in Hungary in recent years has led to the more extensive use of white poplar (and its hybrids) in the course of afforestation and forest regeneration schemes. The study presents a new, simplified tending operation model for Leuce poplar stands and age, growing space and target diameter models suitable for qualitaty log production and for mass assortments. The simplicity of these practice-oriented models may foster the qualitative development of Leuce poplar management in Hungary.
