Description
Summary:[...]only in the period 1960-1970, a total area of 23,582 ha was forested with green Douglas-fir, of which 7,409 ha in Banat, followed by Crişana (3,955 ha) and Oltenia (2,685 ha) regions (Popa-Costea 1973). [...]of those failures in using green Douglas-fir, the area covered currently by the species in Romania is only about 12,700 ha, the majority of them being located in the western part of the country (Stănescu et al. 1997, Şofletea and Curtu 2007). [...]the species composition of stands in this FMU is dominated by European beech (63% of total area) and sessile oak (11%), and the two species are joined by Norway spruce (10%), silver fir (4%), Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) (3%), silver birch (Betulapendula L.) (2%), etc. [...]78 stands including green Douglas-fir cover currently 1451.1 ha, of which the species itself is found on 389.15 ha (INCDS 2022).
