SIGNIFICANCE OF FLOWERING ASH (Fraxinus ornus L.) IN THE AFFORESTATION
OF DEGRADED LANDS IN SERBIA
Abstract: The flowering ash (Fraxinus ornus L.) bioecological characters of special significance for
the afforestation of degraded and erosion hazard areas in Serbia are presented. The ecologicalvegetation units of the potential vegetation and soil types, in which the flowering ash is successfully
applied in afforestation, are surveyed and the presented Maps show the spatial distribution of
favourable areas for the afforestation with flowering ash, depending on the altitudes and annual
precipitation. The paper gives the basic directions in the advancement of the production
technology of special-purpose flowering ash planting stock.
Key words: flowering ash, planting stock, afforestation.

SIGNIFICANCE OF FLOWERING ASH (Fraxinus ornus L.) IN THE AFFORESTATION OF

DEGRADED LANDS IN SERBIA
Vasilije Isajev
Vladan Iveti
Violeta Babi
Summary
Flowering ash (Fraxinus ornus L.) is characterised by pronounced adaptability to soil and climate
conditions, desirable morphological characters and the economic value. Its genecological characters
of special significance for the afforestation of degraded areas are as follows: good survival and fast
growth on the skeletal and depleted soils; tolerance to markedly arid conditions during the vegetation
period; strong and branched root system with the capacity of developing a significant mass of fibrous
rootlets; easy planting, easy maintenance; the capacity of dense crown formation; acceptable tolerance
of insects, diseases and browsing by game and livestock, etc.
The enhancement of flowering ash planting stock production of desirable morphological and
physiological characters includes: good-quality seed material, the analysis of ecological-production
characteristics and the regionalisation of potential areas for afforestation and reclamation, and the
gradual introduction of new technological procedures in the production of special-purpose planting
stock.
The production of flowering ash seedlings with pre-defined morphological and physiological
characters is expensive and it can be financially supported only in the nurseries which, by their
infrastructure, the staff qualification structure and by their location, already show the desirable
predispositions for this form of intensive production.
For arid sites, flowering ash seedlings should have the shoot and root mass ratio (1 : 2); seedlings
with a larger root collar diameter above 0.5 cm in two-year-old seedlings - are suitable for the sites
with high temperatures with marked daily amplitudes; the weeded sites require high seedlings - twoyear-old seedlings above 40 cm.
The study of ecological characteristics of bare areas which should be afforested with flowering
ash, should be the basis for the selection of seeds of the appropriate origin; adequate seedling
production technology; site preparation for planting and drawing up and implementation of the
planting scheme.
The presented Maps 1 and 2 show the spatial distribution of the areas in Serbia, which are
suitable for the afforestation with flowering ash, according to their altitudes and annual precipitation.
