Abstract

Long-term monitoring system in the Hungarian forest reserves has started in 2005 and almost 40 forests were surveyed up until the present days. The Remetekert forest reserve was investigated in 2022 for the first time; the study focused i.a. on site characteristics (e. g. soil composition) and stand structure, supplemented with the relief model and measurement of lying dead trees. Lessivated brown forest soil dominated in the forest which was suitable for the stand forming forest types: beech woodlands and sessile oak-hornbeam woodlands. Sessile oak was dominant tree species within the site however, beech and hornbeam also were abundant. Average living stock volume was 555.61 m3/ha, stand density was 762 stem/ha. Upper and lower canopy layer were typical, characterised by 20 meters and 14 meters average height. The distribution of lying dead trees was unequal, their average quantity was 24.75 m3/ha.

Keywords: monitoring, beech, sessile oak, hornbeam, dendrometry, terrestrial laser scanning
