Abstract
The survivability of a 5-year old Scots pine cultivation is strongly influenced by the ways of soil preparation and methods of management of the post clear-cut residues. The highest Scots pine survivability was determined on the cultivation established on surfaces on which post clear-cut residues were left, irrespective of the way these residues were treated. A significantly worse survivability was found on surfaces on which branches with needles were either burnt or removed altogether. On the other hand, the best method of soil preparation from the point of view of pine tree survivability was ploughing ridges using a rotary tiller. Ploughing furrows using LPz-75 and U-162 ploughs was found to reduce significantly the survivability of pine trees.
