Abstract

The main goal of young forest tending is to create suitable forest stands with desired structure of tree species and certain number of trees for ensuring of sufficient growth space. Tending needs to be done both in naturally and artificially regenerated young forest stands by creating composition of forest stand and releasing space for growth of most perspective trees, which is done by removing trees of poor quality and one lagged behind in growth. Thus tending has a great impact on creating productive forest of high quality. The research is carried out to estimate the quality of Scots pine and Norway spruce young growths after tending. There is analyzed accordance of species composition to forest site type, number of trees, compared the average dendrometrical indicators before and after tending, estimated quality of landscape. It is obtained that tending of young stands has great impact to dendrometrical indicators and that tending of young forest stands in Latvian state forests accords to ecological and silvicultural criteria of forestry. The most important values of stands dendrometrical criteria has enlarged two times after the tending. The stand's vitality is valued as good. However there should be more attention paid to elaboration of the concept of an optimal tree stand's density.
