PROGENIES OF SELECTED PARTIAL POPULATIONS OF SILVER FIR, EUROPEAN LARCH AND EUROPEAN BEECH FROM THE SLOVAK REPUBLIC ON THE COMPARATIVE RESEARCH PLOTS IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC - POTENTIALS OF IMPORTING OF REPRODUCTIVE MATERIAL (PART I - SILVER FIR)

Beside of Czech material, there are assessed progenies of main forest tree species from the Slovak Republic on some comparative plots in the Czech Republic. On the base of new evaluation of some research plots of Forestry and Game Management Research Institute with the silver fir, there are presented results of partial populations originated from the Slovak Republic. Height growth, DBH and qualitative characteristics of these forest tree species were assessed. There are considered potentials for importing of reproductive material of Slovak origin and, consequently, there are formulated some recommendations for using of reproductive material of silver fir from Slovakia in the Czech forest management.
