ON NORDMANN SILVER FIR (ABIES NORĐMANNIANA SPACH) — ITS
PROPERTIES OF THE SPECIES, POSSIBILITIES OF AND NEEDS FOR
ITS EXPANSION IN YUGOSLAVIA


SUMMARY


The study on Nordmann Fir is a small monograph in which the author gave
in a condensed form — based on an authentic documentation — a suvey about the
natural habitat of this species in the Caucasia, as well as on the possibilities of its
propagation in Yugoslavia.


In the bagiruniing of his study — in the introductory part — the author reports
on the need to increase the propagation cultivation of fast-growing coniferous species
in Yugoslavia, and to select coniferous species for this purpose, including Nordmann
Fir, too. Thereafter, the study discusses the area of distribution of Nordmann Silver
Fir, as well as its morphological, biological and technological properties and its
characters in relation to European Silver Fir.


Further on, the study gives a survey of its successful cultivation on the experimental
plots in France, England and Germany as recorded in the professional literature
of these countries.


As regards the chances for an artificial cultivation of Nordmann Fir in
Yugoslavia, the author has carried out extended investigations, i. e. the reconnaissance
works and biometric measurements of cultures of this Fir ´Species existing
on the territories of all Yugoslav Republic, where it occurs al´lochthoinously, preparing
besides also photo records.


On giving a survey of the ecological factors under which Nordmann Fir thrives
in Caucasia and Yugoslavia, and on comparing these factors mutually, the aiuthor
draws the following conclusions:


Nordmann Silver Fir can be propagated in Yugoslavia in parks, by intensive
cultures, and on plantations. It can be cultivated throughout the Yugoslavia in
areas having the similar sites as the environs of Varaždin in Croatia, the park at
Vrnjaöka Banja and the park »Karagač« near Peć in Serbia, Bitolia, Oteševo and
Ohrid in Macedonia. Such and similar sites are to be found also in Slovenia and
in Bosnia and Hercegovina. These are the sites of the submontane Beech (Fagetum
montanum). as well as the sites of Sessile Oak (Quercetum carpinetum et Querce´;ai
montanum), as well as the sites of Sessile Oak (Querceto-carpinetum et Quercetum
with developed relief. On the Oak sites with developed relief for the Nordmann
Fir are suitable localities having cold aspects, i. e. the slopes towards the North,
Ncrth-West, and North-East. Nordmann Fir can also thrive in flat lands if it is
planted under a moderate shelter of other forest tree species, as is the case in all
our parks. Besides its high horticultural value, this Fir species should be propagated
in the first place for its relatively quick growing and producing a high-quality
wood especially for pulp and aircraft industries. The biological-technological process
of cultivation of Nordmann Fir does not differ at all from such techniques of growing
other coniferous species. That means that we can plant this Fir species in parks,
in thinly-stocked broadleaved stands to be enriched, as well as in industrial plantations
in mixture with other tree species already advanced in growth and giving
the necessary shelter. On sowing Nordmann.Fir germinates rnd sprouts in an excellent
manner and more vigorously than European Fir, and there does not occur any
difficulty in rearing planting stock from the indigenous or imported seed.
