Alder (Alnus glutinosa L.) is often applied in recultivation of technogenous areas for its small seat requirements. It is so called the pioneer species. The aim of this study was to determine and compare the degree of microflora development under alder growing on a heap and on a sand mine excavation. Different groups of microbes as well as the kinetics of bacterial growth were determined. The development of microflora under alder growing on the sand mine excavation was poor but better than on the coal mine spoil.
The aim of this study was to specify the above-ground biomass structure of black alder as well as to assess the influence of habitat conditions on biomass size and on allometric relation between biomass and breast height diameter. The empirical material consisted of 67 sample trees in age from 6 to 20 years selected from 17 stands growing on two types of forest habitat. The average share of stem wood in aboveground biomass of trees was 61.04%, branches 18.89%, bark and leaves 11.31% and 8.76% respectively. The fact that the examined stands constituted habitat type did not substantially influence either the biomass size or the relation between biomass and breast height diameter.
The study shows that the accuracy of tree height approximation by means of investigated functions is not modified by the age or site conditions of the analysed alder stands. The widest range of tree height variability was explained by Schnute (M5) function. Higher values of adjusted coefficient of determination (R2 adj) are usually obtained when the height of black alder stands in the western part of the Sandomierz Basin is determined with M2 height−diameter curve.
