Field maple (Acer campestre L.) is naturally distributed in most of Europe, with the exception of its northern parts. Field maple can serve as a valuable model for researching the sensitivity of its populations to habitat fragmentation, considering lack of silvicultural treatments in its stands. The research aims to determine interpopulation and intrapopulation variability of field maple populations from Bosnia and Herzegovina in the nursery test.
The authors researched measured root collar diameter, height, observed forkness and calculated slenderness coefficient of the one-year-old generative material from 18 Bosnian-Herzegovinian populations of field maple, produced in the nursery of Žepče. The descriptive statistics and variance analysis was performed.
All analyzed traits showed a high degree of intra-population as well as interpopulation variability, as confirmed by the analysis of variance. The highest average height had provenance Bosanski Brod (46.08 cm) and the smallest Bosanska Dubica (19.11 cm). Kreševo provenance had the highest average root neck diameter (8.27 mm) and Bosanska Dubica (5.24 mm) the lowest. A very low percentage of forkness (6.86%) was determined, and the values of the slenderness coefficient were acceptable for all provenances.
The results indicate need for further systematic research on this ecologically valuable species.
