Different technologies of floodplain forest regeneration from the aspect of soil changes

The greatest changes in the soil of floodplain forest stands like in other type of forests occur during their regeneration. These changes are manifested as changes in content and dynamic of organic matter in the soil. Research conducted in oak and ash of floodplain forest in the eastern part of Croatia and in southern Moravia in the Czech Republic. The results showed that the type and extent of these changes depended, in addition to factors of the environment, also on the technology of forest regeneration. The natural regeneration of oak in floodplain forests of Spačva (eastern Croatia) protects soil from dramatic changes in soil by successive regeneration felling and that it retains permanently the plant cover. Stand regeneration with clear-cutting results in a rapid change in the conditions of surface humus accumulation and decomposition. The management impact depends on the method of site preparing for the establishment of a new stand. The selection of a method of the floodplain forest regeneration (particularly of oak) is markedly dependent on actual ecological condition and ecological - historical experience of the given region.
