Abstract

The depandance of timber classes in the plantations of clone I-214 at the end of production cycle on the soil properties and technology of management was examined. Gained results suggest significant differences in height and quality of timber classes in clone I-214 regarding form and variety of fluvisol soil type. Number of survived trees of clone I-214 at the end of the rotation significantly influenced the differentiation of timber classes qualitative structure – more on fertile the on poor soil. The duration of rotation in the plantations of clone I-214 is increased by the partition of more valuable classes and so is for the total effects of production.
