Trajectory from beech and oak forests to eastern broadleaf forests in Indiana, USA

Ecological Processes, 2019
Background Historical forests (circa 1799 to 1846) of Indiana were predominantly composed of American beech (25% of all trees) and upland oaks (27% of all trees).

Effects of Drought, Phosphorus Fertilization and Provenance on the Growth of Common Beech and Sessile Oak

Forests
The negative impact of drought on plant growth may be modified by the different availability of mineral nutrients and by their adaptation to different local habitat conditions. In this study, we examine the impact of drought, fertilization with phosphorus and provenance, as well as their interactions, on the growth and allometric growth relationships ...

Staying sheltered: geographical variation in nestbox use by a nocturnal raptor outside the breeding season

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Tree cavities and nestboxes are crucial resources for cavity‐nesting birds. While cavities are essential for reproduction, their importance outside the breeding season remains poorly understood, with most existing evidence focusing on nestbox use by small birds to reduce heat loss during winter.

Ecology of declining populations of gray foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) in Indiana, USA Ecología de las poblaciones en declive de zorros grises (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) en Indiana, EE.UU.

Wildlife Monographs, EarlyView.
We estimated seasonal space use, cover selection, and resource selection; evaluated gene flow and potential genetic barriers; and assessed cause‐specific survival rates and reproduction of radiomarked gray foxes in Indiana, USA. Our results provide evidence that gray foxes in Indiana are an edge species with relatively large home ranges, relatively low

Relationships between climatic variables and tree-ring width of European beech and European larch growing outside of their natural distribution area

Silva Fennica, 2015
Relationships between climatic variables and tree-ring width (TRW) of dominant European larch ( Mill.) and European beech ( L.) trees growing outside of their natural distribution area in western Latvia were studied.

Functional adaptation of natural sessile oak and common beech saplings on different habitat conditions

Šumarski list, 2022
Cilj ovoga rada bio je usporediti dvije mješovite sastojine (provenijencije) obične bukve i hrasta kitnjaka, iz istočne (provenijencija Slavonski Brod - SB) i sjeverozapadne (provenijencija Karlovac - KA) Hrvatske, s obzirom na klimatske i edafske prilike te raspraviti njihov utjecaj na rast i produkciju suhe tvari prirodnog pomlatka hrasta kitnjaka i ...

Temperate forest heterogeneity decreases local and landscape‐scale spider diversity through habitat filtering despite increasing species turnover

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
In a large‐scale German forest experiment, habitat heterogeneity increased spider turnover but reduced local alpha diversity through habitat filtering. Together, these effects lowered landscape‐scale spider diversity. As such, the study shows whether environmental heterogeneity increases or decreases biodiversity depends on the balance between habitat ...

Distribution, growth, and structure of pine-beech forest stands in the Lviv Roztochchia region

Наукові праці Лісівничої академії наук України
In the western part of Ukraine, pine-beech forest stands are widespread only in the physico-geographical regions of Roztochchia and Opillia. Their total area is 8,204.5 hectares, of which 6,246.5 hectares (76.13%) are occupied by stands of natural origin,

Calculation of Economic Rotation Period for Even-Aged Stand in Croatia

South-East European Forestry, 2011
Background and Purpose: Even-aged forests prevail in Croatia’s forestry. Rotation period is based mostly on natural parameters. In practice, rotation period is given by Croatian Rulebook of forest management.
