Abstract

Forest communities found on an alluvial plain of Flat Srem were formed over the course of very long periods of climate changes under direct and indirect influence of water regime, which gradually changed influenced by various abiotic and anthropogenic factors. With closed depression drainage the more favorable conditions were developed for site preparation and planting of valuable tree species on previously swamped soils. The trial stand was established in the spring of 2001 in three replications with one-year old nursery plants type 1/1 with the planting distance of 6×6 m (278 nursery plants·ha-1). Five clones of black poplar Populus deltoids (cl. PE19/66; 129/81; B-229; 182/81; B-81) and one hybrid of euroamerican poplar Populus × euramericana cl. Pannonia (M-1) were included in the trial. After 11 years of stand development the studied clones achieved a high survival percentage of 86%, i.e. it ranged on the average from 239 trees of clone B-229 per ha to more than 98%, i.e. 274 trees of clone 129/81 per ha. After 11 years of stand development the studied clones achieved mean heights ranging from 22 m (cl. 182/81) to 28 m (cl. PE 19/66) and mean diameters ranging from 25.4 cm (cl. 182/81) to 32.1 cm (cl. PE 19/66). Obtained results suggested that this type of humogley soil formed on alluvial deposits (code 77) could be used for black poplar cultivation.
