Some Characteristics of the Stands Installed On Torrential Bedload Deposits inside the Managed Hydrographic Network from the Upper Somesul Mic Watershed

Abstract

Observations and measurements achieved in twelve experimental plots - inside five valleys (Valea Soponii, Pâraul Bradet, Pâraul Rasca Mare, Pâraul Negruta si Valea Lesului) - have demonstrated that the grey alder is the species installed with the highest frequency on the siltations, created or during the creating process, along with the managed torrential hydrographic network from Upper Somesul Mic Watershed. The age of the stands varies between 5 and 20 years, the density from 5 000 to 9 500 trees per hectare, the collar diameter (dc) between 25.5 and 203.5 mm, the breast height diameter (dbh) from 17.6 to 165 mm, the height (h) between 3.7 and 12.5 m.
