Summary:
The paper presents the volume and variation of height and periodic increment in height of common oaks aged 10 to 140 years, growing in two forest site types typical of this species – fresh mixed broadleaved forest and fresh broadleaved forest. Experimental material included selected results of stem analysis of 33 oaks (aged 41 to 148 years) coming from 11 stands. Stem analysis was performed at 10-year intervals during the life of trees, which made it possible to compare values of analyzed traits of trees for a total of 285 stems of different ages.
