Genetic Variation of Abies Alba in Italy

open access: yesHereditas, 2004
Italy represents the southern limit of Abies alba (Mill.) (silver fir) distribution in Europe. In this region, populations are widely spread in different and isolated habitats. We used allozyme markers to study the genetic structure of ten natural populations of this species from the northern, central, and southern parts of Italy.

Wildfires' Cost for Societal Welfare: Economic Evaluation of Forestry Ecosystem Services Losses in Southern Italy

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Forest ecosystem services (ESs) are garnering increasing public attention as awareness grows regarding society's fundamental dependence on them for well‐being. Forest fires, one of the major disturbances of ESs, are becoming more frequent and destructive, exacerbated in part by climate change.

Interspecific variation in growth and tree water status of conifers under water-limited conditions

open access: yesJournal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2020
We monitored seasonal dynamics of stem water status of four coniferous species (Abies alba, Larix decidua, Picea abies and Pinus sylvestris) planted at the Borová hora Arboretum (300 m a.s.l., Zvolen valley, Central Slovakia) beyond their ecological and ...

Alpine flora of Kashmir Himalaya: floristic assessment, life history traits and threat status

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Alpine ecosystems in the Himalaya are considered to be at a higher risk to anthropogenic global change drivers. The Kashmir Himalaya, located in the north‐western side of the Himalayan biodiversity hotspot, harbors a diverse alpine flora, which remains systematically little investigated.

Next-generation sequencing yields the complete chloroplast genome of Abies Alba

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
Abies alba is native to the mountains of Europe and often used as Christmas trees. In this study, we reported the complete chloroplast genome of A. alba. The complete chloroplast genome is 121,243 bp in length, comprising a large single copy (LSC) region

What does coexistence mean? Insight from place‐based trajectories of pastoralists and bears encounters in the Pyrenees

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The recovery of large carnivores in Europe raises issues related to sharing landscape with humans. Beyond technical solutions, it is widely recognized that social factors also contribute to shaping coexistence. In this context, scholars increasingly stress the need to adopt place‐based approaches by analysing how humans and wildlife interact ...

Genetic diversity of Italian populationsof Abies alba

open access: yesDendrobiology, 2017
Abstract Silver fir (Abies alba) is a common tree species in the mountainous areas in Europe. A number of natural stands in the hilly regions of northern Europe represent relic populations. The aim of the research was to evaluate the diversity present in Italian populations of the species.

Benefit or ecological trap? Monitoring the effects of small clear‐cuts on capercaillie Tetrao urogallus and its mammalian predators

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The shift to ‘close to nature forestry' as the dominating forestry regime in western‐European forests has resulted in increasing timber volume and denser forests with negative effects on photophilic species. Hence, there is an increasing focus on active habitat management measures to support these species.

Can Wapiti (Cervus elaphus) Browsing Stimulate the Chemical Defense of Taxus cuspidata—A Case of Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We study that browsing by wapiti reduces the growth of saplings, and it develop chemical defenses to prevent themselves browsed again. These results reduce our concern about wapiti browse T. cuspidate saplings, and provide basic data for the study of the interaction between them, and also provide theoretical basis for the population restoration and ...

Preliminary notes on the population structure of Heterobasidion abietinum from Abies pinsapo in Spain

open access: yesPhytopathologia Mediterranea, 2009
A molecular study using M13 minisatellite amplifi cation was carried out to ascertain the origin of the fungal isolates of Heterobasidion abietinum collected from Abies pinsapo in Andalucia (Spain). Isolates were compared with those from A.
