Research Concerning the Frequency of Stem Root- Swelling at Beech Trees

Abstract

Aspects concerning the frequency of root-swelling at beech trees of pure stands from the Tărlung area are presented in this paper. The research was aimed at identifying factors that determine the emergence and the variation of the frequency of root-swelling in beech trees. The results obtained have shown that the main factor responsible for the emergence of root-swelling in beech trees is age.
