Title: Diskābaru meaudu raība Šķēdes novadā Productivity of Beech Stands in Skede Forest District
Abstract: The propagation of introduced tree species in the forests of Skede forest region began at the end of the 19th century. At this time, the first beech stands were established. The monitoring of growth of the beech stands has been carried out irregularly till now. During the last 15 years the most relevant parameters - the mean diameter and height of stands, the basal area and volume of stands - have been researched. The results of research show that beech stands in Talsi hill-land on loam moraine soils are highly productive, their volume is also highly qualitative in most cases. The mean diameter of the main storey in 91-115 year old beech stands exceeds 40 cm. The volume of stands varies between 434 and 786 m 3 ha -1 . The basal area of middle-aged stands is too big (29.6-45.4 m 2 ha -1 ), their quotient of canopy closure is unfavorable (1.23) and the increment of
