Ecological and morphological characteristics of pyramidal fir (Abies alba var. pyramidalis) in the locality of Ogorijevac (the Pester plateau)

Abstract

The paper presents environmental conditions and morphological characteristics of pyramidal fir (Abies alba var. pyramidalis) in the locality of Ogorijevac in southwestern Serbia. Pyramidal fir trees grow in three localities in Europe, but only as individual trees. A site of pyramidal fir (Abies alba var. pyramidalis) in the locality of Ogorijevac near the town of Sjenica in Serbia was first studied by Tošić in 1963, who described some characteristics of the locality in which the pyramidal fir occurs and some morphological characteristics of the trees. This paper provides a detailed description of the parent rock, soil, climate characteristics of the locality and morphological characteristics of the trees.
