Differential responses of herbivores and herbivory to management in temperate European beech. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Forest management not only affects biodiversity but also might alter ecosystem processes mediated by the organisms, i.e. herbivory the removal of plant biomass by plant-eating insects and other arthropod groups.

The Impact of the Log-Sawing Patterns on the Quantitative and Qualitative Yield of Beech Timber (Fagus sylvatica L.)

Applied Sciences, 2023
The cost of raw materials has a major role in the wood industry. From this point of view, it is necessary to pay attention to the correct log-sawing pattern, which will optimize the sawing process and increase the quantity and quality of the material as ...

Phosphorus limitation of aboveground production in northern hardwood forests [PDF]

, 2018
Forest productivity on glacially derived soils with weatherable phosphorus (P) is expected to be limited by nitrogen (N), according to theories of long-term ecosystem development.

Preliminary estimates of mass-loss rates, changes in stable isotope composition, and invertebrate colonisation of evergreen and deciduous leaves in a Waikato, New Zealand, stream. [PDF]

, 1999
Rates of mass loss are important in the choice of tree species used in riparian rehabilitation because leaves that break down fast should contribute to stream food-webs more rapidly than leaves that break down more slowly.

Latent infection of Biscogniauxia nummularia in Fagus sylvatica: a possible bioindicator of beech health conditions

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2016
Biscogniauxia nummularia is a xylariaceous fungus known as a common endophyte of European beech, living in plant tissues without development of symptoms, or even inducing strip-cankers and wood decay on trees stressed by drought.

Spring and autumn phenology of Bulgarian and German provenances of Common beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) under similar climatic conditions

, 2017
The ongoing climate change creates serious concerns about how tree species will behave under new environmental conditions. Common beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), a main and important tree species in Europe, will also be affected by the coming changes.

The first reaction of soil mite fauna (Acari, Mesostigmata) caused by conversion of Norway spruce stand in the Szklarska Poręba Forest District

Journal of Forest Science, 2009
To observe the first reaction of Mesostigmata mites for conversion of even aged spruce stands under conversion with common beech and silver fir, four pairs of experimental plots directly neighbouring each other were examined.
