20.500.12556/DiRROS-21103 Sedem desetletij metasekvoje (Metasequoia glyptostroboides Hu et Cheng) v Sloveniji Seven decades of dawn redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides Hu et Cheng) in Slovenia Metasekvoja (Metasequoia glyptostroboides Hu et Cheng) je ena najpozneje odkritih drevesnih vrst na Zemlji in hkrati zelo stara vrsta, ki se morfološko skozi milijone let skoraj ni spremenila. Odkrita je bila šele sredi 20. stoletja na Kitajskem, le nekaj let za tem, ko so znanstveniki odkrili njene fosilne ostanke in predvidevali, da gre za izumrlo vrsto. Po odkritju se je o metasekvoji veliko govorilo in pisalo, sadili so jo po vsem svetu z namenom preučevanja, saj je bilo odkritje živih osebkov senzacija za ves botanični svet. Danes se je v luči podnebnih sprememb in ob iskanju novih možnosti za večjo odpornost gozda metasekvoja kot potencialno uporabna vrsta zopet znašla pod drobnogledom. Njeno močno užlebljeno deblo in obstojnost odmrlih vej lahko predstavljajo težavo pri obdelavi njenega proti glivam sicer zelo odpornega lesa, hkrati pa zaradi edinstvenega videza deluje izredno estetsko predvsem v urbanem okolju. Kot gospodarsko vrsto jo uporabljajo ponekod na Kitajskem, v Evropi jo sadijo predvsem v testnih nasadih in v urbanem okolju. V preglednem prispevku je po sedmih desetletjih prisotnosti metasekvoje v Sloveniji podrobneje predstavljena zgodovina njenega odkrivanja, dosedanja uporaba in ocenjen je njen prihodnji potencial. The dawn redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides Hu et Cheng) is among the most recently discovered tree species on Earth. It is also a very ancient species that has undergone minimal morphological change over millions of years. The species was identified in the middle of the 20th century in China, a mere few years after scientists had discovered its fossilised remains and presumed it to be extinct. Following its discovery, it became the subject of considerable discussion, written analysis and planting initiatives worldwide, driven by the desire to study the species. The discovery of living specimens was a significant event for the botanical community. In the context of climate change and the search for new strategies to enhance forest resilience, the dawn redwood has recently gained renewed attention as a potentially valuable species. The tree’s heavily gnarled trunk and persistence of dead branches can present challenges in processing its highly fungus-resistant wood. However, its distinctive appearance also makes it an aesthetically appealing choice, particularly in urban settings. It is utilised as a commercial species in certain regions of China, but in Europe it is predominantly planted in test plantations and in urban environments. Following seven decades of its presence in Slovenia, this review paper provides a detailed account of its discovery, current utilisation and future potential.
