    CRITERIA FOR AN OPTIMUM STRUCTURE OF OAK STANDS WITH QUERCUS CONFERTA KIT IN BULGARIA

    Grud Popov1, Emilia Velizarova2 and Dimitar Dikov3

    The present work discusses the important issue of finding reliable criteria reflecting the optimum structure and dynamics in the development of oak stands. As a representative of the oak forests in Bulgaria Quercus conferta Kit was chosen.

    Such a criterion was found to be the height of the trees in the stand. Strong correlational links were found between the height of the trees, on the one hand, and the following features of the stand, on the other: number of trees per ha, distance between the trees, diameter, height of the crown, and crown diameter.

    Keywords: Forestry, oak stands, optimum structure and development
