Number Of Branches

The growth and branching patterns of the main axis of 6-year-old sessile oak, growing in a natural regeneration in the north of France, were analysed each year retrospectively according to three increasing canopy density conditions: large gap, small gap, and dense canopy. Increasing gap size is associated with an increase in the total height, basal diameter, branching probability, and global polycyclism rate of the trees. At the growth unit or annual shoot level, from dense canopy to large gaps these botanical entities also show an increase in their total length, number of nodes, polycyclism, and branching rate as well as mean number of branches and mean internode length. A discussion of our results revealed some endogenous features of growth and branching patterns in young sessile oak trees. It is also shown that increasing canopy density generally tends to reduce the expression of the endogenous architectural sequence of differentiation of young sessile oak trees. Young trees growing below dense canopy thus seem to be "delayed" in their sequence of differentiation and appear to be in a "waiting" status, whereas young trees growing in large gaps exhibit an architecture very similar to trees growing in nurseries under nonlimiting growth conditions.Key words: architecture, Quercus petraea, growth, morphology, canopy density.

Shrinkage Coefficient

The paper shows some physical properties of sessile oak obtained in Kosovo regions. In the study are shown: wood shrinkage, specific gravity, shrinkage coefficient for 1% change of moisture content, ratio of shrinkage in tangential and radial direction etc. The amount of volumetric shrinkage of sessile oak is 15.95%, heartwood part has an average shrinkage 15.41% in The shrinkage of sapwood part is 17.56%. Specific gravity at: wet condition: (1.013gr/cm3); 12% (0.853gr/cm3) and 0% (0.826gr/cm3) of moisture content. Specific gravity of heartwood at: wet condition (1.05gr/cm3); 12% (0.88gr/cm3); 0% (0.85gr/cm3). The specific gravity of sapwood at: wet condition (0.91gr/cm3); 12% (0.77gr/cm3); 0% (0.748gr/cm3). The ratio of average shrinkage between tangential and radial cutting direction is 1.71%. This ratio was significantly higher in sapwood than heartwood. Coefficient of shrinkage (changing 1% of moisture content) in the radial direction is 0.00196, and 0.00323 in tangential direction.

Natural Stands

This research was carried out in natural stands of sessile oak (Quercus petraea agg. Ehrendorfer 1967) on Miroc mountain. Three comunities were investigated: Pure sessile oak forest (Quercetum montanum Cer. et Jov. 1953. s.l.), sessile oak-common hornbeam forest (Querco-Carpinetum moesiacum Rud. 1949. s.l.) and sessile oak-balkan beech forest (Querco-Fagetum Glis. 1971). Pure sessile oak forests are found on the following soils: dystric ranker and acid cambic soil on sandstone, dystric ranker and acid cambisols on phyllite, and acid cambic soil on schists. Sessile oak-hornbeam forests grow on sandstone, granite and schists. Sessile oak-beech forests are found on acid cambisol on phyllite and sandstone conglomerate. Various ecological conditions (exposition, slope, altitude, soil types and bedrock) on Mt Miroc caused the occurence of diverse sessile oak forest communities, while different states of these forest stands resulted from the implementation of management measures.
