Abstract

Belowground phytomass and production of the herb species (the herb layer) in the beech ecosystem Calamintho grandiflorae-Fagetum in Mavrovo National Park is analyzed. Belowground phytomass in the herb layer was low (16,6 kg·ha-1). Species with highest percentual participation were Dentaria bulbifera, Pteridium aquilinum and Anemone nemorosa. R/S ratio varied between 0.11 and 5.08 Annual production was assessed at ~6.4 kg·ha-1·y-1.
