Deramification process (branch pruning) in the beech crowns is affected by necrotic tracheomycosis disease located in the branches. The loss of foliage apparently is a negative phenomenon of the deramification. The number of broken branches was 1,833 per 1 ha of the forest stand during the growing season 1997. We found that deramification caused momentary defoliation as high as 0.022 ha of leaf area per 1 ha of the forest stand. Moreover, altogether 567 broken branches per 1 ha of the forest stand were found as a result of deramification during dormancy period. The prognosis of the leaf area deficit for the next period has been given. This deficiency per 1 ha of the beech pole-stage stand shows and increasing trend in the range from 0.022 ha in 1997 to 1.061 ha in 2002.
