ABSTRACT: The present study was performed in an experimental plantation
with six 20-year-old black poplar clones in the Section Aigeiros(Duby). The
diameter structure models were constructed using the Weibull probability density
distribution with three parameters based on periodical measurements of
diameters at breast height. The unidentified parameters were calculated by the
so-called “hybrid system” (Knoebel, et al, 1986): location parameter (a) was
calculated by percentile method, scale parameter (b) and shape parameter (c)
were calculated by moments method. The applied method of estimating the location
parameter (a) showed that in 90.6 % of the study sample, the parameter
“a” ranged between 50 and 90 %, and in 52.4 % of the sample, “a” ranged
from 80 to 90 % of the minimal diameter. With higher plantation ages, location
parameter (a) and scale parameter (b) also increased with small oscillations,
which was confirmed by the significance of the correlation coefficient of 0.71
and 0.73 respectively. This was shown by the shift of the curve of diameter
structure model to the right, towards larger diameters, and in a wider range of
diameters at breast height with a lower relative frequency of the modal degree.
In the initial period, F-ratio of all three parameters of diameter structure model
decreased and reached the minimal value in the eighth year, and the predominantly
increasing trend started in the twelfth year, which points to the changes in
diameter structure of the study clones depending on the age. The plantation
growth elements (dg, G) and the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, as well as the analysis
of variance test and LSD test for the percentage of the number of trees with
diameters at breast height above 40 cm, confirmed the grouping of diameter
structure models of the study poplar clones in two groups. This makes it possible
to define the differentiated management procedures with individual groups.


Key words:black poplar, clones, diameter structure, Weibull distribution.
