Impact Bending Strength as a Function of Selected Factors

open access: yesBioResources, 2016
This article examines the influence of selected factors (wood species, densification, thickness, glue type, and number of cycles) on the impact bending strength (IBS) of solid and laminated wood.

More pumas (Puma concolor) does not change perceptions: The mismatched response of ranchers to the presence of a top carnivore

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Human‐wildlife conflicts (HWCs) are one of the most critical conservation challenges worldwide. Large carnivores are frequently at the centre of these conflicts because of the perceived and real threats they pose to livestock and human safety.

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

open access: yesPLoS 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.

Properties of dissolved and total organic matter in throughfall, stemflow and forest floor leachate of central European forests [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences, 2015
We present the first investigation of the composition of dissolved organic matter (DOM) compared to total organic matter (TOM, consisting of DOM, < 0.45 μm and particulate organic matter 0.45 μm < POM < 500 μm) in throughfall, stemflow and forest floor ...

Large‐scale characterization of horizontal forest structure from remote sensing optical images

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Sub‐meter resolution remote sensing data and tree crown segmentation techniques hold promise in offering detailed information that can support the characterization of forest structure from a horizontal perspective, offering new insights in the tree crown structure at scale.

Drivers of wood‐inhabiting fungal diversity in European and Oriental beech forests

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
The hyperdiverse wood‐inhabiting fungi play a crucial role in the global carbon cycle, but often are threatened by deadwood removal, particularly in temperate forests dominated by European beech (Fagus sylvatica) and Oriental beech (Fagus orientalis). To

Current state of beech bark necrotic disease in Southern Poland

open access: yesJournal of Forest Science, 2008
The degree of the beech bark necrotic disease was evaluated in three selected localities in southern Poland, in different orographic complexes, Beskid Sądecki, Beskid Niski, and Bieszczady.

Using Airborne Laser Scanning and Sentinel‐2 to Understand Subcanopy Light Regimes and Understory Diversity of Vascular Plants in Temperate Mountain Forests

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that not just Airborne Laser Scanning, but also Sentinel‐2 can effectively estimate absolute canopy cover and canopy cover heterogeneity ‐ structural metrics that determine the subcanopy light regime, found to be linked to the vascular plant species richness in the understory of temperate mountain forests.

Pointer years in the growth of beech trees of the NP "Đerdap" area [PDF]

open access: yesGlasnik Šumarskog Fakulteta: Univerzitet u Beogradu, 2014
This paper defines pointer years and years with distinctive tree rings in the growth of beech in 3 sites (ecological units-EU) of the area of Đerdap, in order to observe the reactions of trees to the effects of various factors of growth.

Organic matter and nitrogen dynamics in a mature forest of common beech in the Sierra de la Demanda, Spain [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of Forest Science, 2001
Aboveground biomass, litterfall, leaf weight loss due to decomposition, N return and seasonal leaf N dynamics were studied in the Sierra de la Demanda, Spain, a Mediterranean climatic zone. The forest ecosystem considered was a climax beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) forest.
