Topoclimate effect on treeline elevation depends on the regional framework: A contrast between Southern Alps (New Zealand) and Apennines (Italy) forests

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
The major difference between the Southern Alps and Apennines treeline limit is associated with their mountain aspects. Contrary to what would be expected based on temperature limitation, the elevation of F. sylvatica treelines in the Apennines was higher on colder, pole‐facing slopes than on equator‐facing, warmer mountainsides.

Dependence of the sample estimates on the sample size [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2020
The paper provides data on the dependence of the sample indicators of the arithmetic mean, variance, asymmetry and excess of the length of the needles of European spruce (Picea rubra) and European larch (Larix decidua), the average length of a pair of ...

Phylogenomics of arboreal alligator lizards shed light on the geographical diversification of cloud forest‐adapted biotas

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 49, Issue 10, Page 1862-1876, October 2022., 2022
Abstract Aim The proximate ecological and evolutionary processes underlying the high biodiversity of neotropical montane cloud forests are still very poorly understood. Climatic oscillations may have contributed to vicariance and cladogenesis, but also promoted secondary contact and erosion of genetic divergence.

Planetary‐scale change to the biosphere signalled by global species translocations can be used to identify the Anthropocene

Palaeontology, Volume 65, Issue 4, July/August 2022., 2022
Abstract We examine three distinctive biostratigraphic signatures of humans associated with hunting and gathering, landscape domestication and globalization. All three signatures have significant fossil records of regional importance that can be correlated inter‐regionally and help describe the developing pattern of human expansion and appropriation of

Growth properties of pine trees died from pine wilt disease [PDF]

, 2013
Are there any traits in appearance of dead trees in the early stage of massive pine death caused by pine wilt disease? In other words, what is the landmark for Monochamus species as a vector choosing pine trees for after-ripening? The study was conducted

Ecological and anthropogenic drivers of Calabrian pine (Pinus nigra J.F. Arn. ssp. laricio (Poiret) Maire) distribution in the Sila mountain range

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2015
The most well-known and vast Calabrian pine forests are in the Sila mountain range, southern Italy. In this paper, present-day distribution of Calabrian pine in the Sila district was analyzed and compared with forest maps dating back to 1935 in order to ...

Predicting the above-ground biomass of calabrian pine (Pinus brutia Ten.) stands in Turkey [PDF]

, 2009
Biomass equations are presented for calabrian pine stands within the Adana-Karaisalı Regional Forestry Management Area. Thirty three sample plots, each of 0.04 ha, were chosen in order to define the biomass equations of calabrian pine, the most common ...

How much different are conifer forests? Comparison of Lepidoptera community in silver fir and black pine stands in Calabria (southern Italy)

Forest@, 2017
The main coniferous forests of Calabria (Italy) are certainly the Calabrian black pine (Pinus nigra calabrica) forests of the Sila massif and the silver fir (Abies alba) forests of the Serre Vibonesi.
