Czech term

porostní skupina

Czech to English Tech/Engineering Forestry / Wood / Timber
Forestry again...
Does anybody know of something more succinct than:
'part of a stand delimited in regenerated stands only where part of the original stand is delimited from the regenerated one' (!) (from http://www.silvarium.cz/

Thanks!

OK - I put stand group subunit, with the definition 'part of a stand delimited in regenerated stands only where part of the original stand is delimited from the regenerated one' as a footnote. You both deserve points as you have both provided excellent information - it would not be fair to give one of you all of them. I hope this is OK. Díky moc!

but maybe you could keep us informed on the term you used in your translation ;-)
Igor Liba May 7, 2009:
http://www.lib.unb.ca/Texts/Forest/bin/get7.cgi?directory=MX... would recommned to leave the question open. If there are more than 2 "agrees" - no matter which answer, the question is closed automatically or simply close the question without awarding the points.
Gerry Vickers (asker) May 6, 2009:
As Maria says, I don't think there can be a single 'correct' answer to this one - all responses have been equally helpful (although confusing at times:) ) so I intend to either toss a coin and choose between the various options, awarding the points this way, or make this into a not-for points question and thank everyone hugely for their time. What does everyone think is the fairest?
Igor Liba May 6, 2009:
porostní skupina - just to think about Porostní skupina je orientační, hospodářskou a evidenční jednotkou. Pro porostní skupinu se nezjišťují taxační údaje, které se dále agregovaly, a proto případná nepřesnost ve vymezení její hranice nemá zásadní význam. Tento přístup umožňuje významně zvýšit produktivitu práce při terénní pochůzce u vědomí toho, že přesné taxační údaje jsou zjištěny ze statistické inventarizace na úrovni vyšetřovací a plánovací jednotky a hospodářského celku. U porostní skupiny je možné uvažovat o popisu na úrovni hrubého odhadu úrovně dřevinné skladby, v každém případě se stručně popisuje její stav a v případě větších odlišností od modelu daného vyšetřovací a plánovací jednotkou se také slovně popíše návrh hospodářských opatření. Porostní skupina je rovněž základní jednotkou, pro kterou je vedena hospodářská evidence.

(forest) stand a contiguous group of trees sufficiently uniform in compisition, arrangement of age classes, site quality, and condition to be a distiguishable unit. http://ceres.ca.gov > "The Language of Silviculture".
If forest stand = unit ?!, then "porostni skupina" - cast porostu (part, section of forest stand) = sub unit or sub group, but not a group/forest stand group.
Maria Chmelarova May 6, 2009:
Otazka ak "porost " je spolecestvi rostlin na danem stanovisti, je jednotkou rozdeneni lesa, spravidla o velikosti nekolika ha , a "porostni skupina " je cast porostu, jehoz hranice se meni s postupujici obnovou, nebo plosne nevyznamna cast porostu. Je volotelnou soucasti rozdeleni lesa.
P sk. je definovana vyctem etazi na ni rostoucich.
P sk. - min. 0.04 ha, spada do jedneho katastralneho uzemi a mam min. jednu etaz.
Porost: nadraz. jednotkou je dilec a pak oddeleni, podraz. jednotkou je porostni skupina
...potom group nie je podraz. jednotka ale jednotka.

Proposed translations

forest stand subunit

most of related text is using "unit"
as in single-storied stand unit, multi-storied stand unit
if "porostni skupina" je "čast porostu (section of, part of, portion of forest stand), then it should be a subportion, subsection or subunit or ...
I think it is not direct Engl. equivalent.

here is one interesting reference document:

http://proceedings.esri.com/library/userconf/proc04/docs/pap...

check pages 5, 6 and 9.

The location of a small stand group selected on the forest registration management system side can be displayed using GIS, and the attribute information on a small stand group selected on GIS can be displayed using the forest registration management system.
