Chapter Plantation Forests: A Guarantee of Sustainable Management of Abandoned and Marginal Farmlands
The chapter summarises the research data on cultivating forest crops in abandoned and marginal farmlands (AL). The course of growth and productivity of
different tree species in the local climatic conditions is clarified in a variety of
agricultural soils. The research results show the most appropriate tree species for
short-rotation or special end-use monoculture or mixed plantations, using Scots
pine (Pinus sylvestris L.), Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.), silver birch (Betula
pendula Roth.), pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.), grey alder (Alnus incana (L.)
Moench), alder (Alnus glutinosa (L.) Gaertn.), wild cherry (Cerasus avium (L.)
Moench syn. Prunus avium), aspen (Populus tremula L.), hybrid aspen (Populus
tremula x tremuloides), and small-leaved lime (Tilia cordata Mill.)
