Reconstructing Soil Recovery from Acid Rain in Beech (<i>Fagus sylvatica</i>) Stands of the Vienna Woods as Indicated by Removal of Stemflow and Dendrochemistry. [PDF]
Our goal was to reconstruct soil recovery from Acid Rain based upon removal of stemflow at beech (Fagus sylvatica) stands of known historic and recent soil status. Fourteen beech stands in the Vienna Woods were selected in 1984 and again in 2012 to study changes in soil and foliar chemistry over time.

Chronological Trends and Mercury Bioaccumulation in an Aquatic Semiarid Ecosystem under a Global Climate Change Scenario in the Northeastern Coast of Brazil [PDF]
Due to global warming, in the northeastern semiarid coastal regions of Brazil, regional and global drivers are responsible for decreasing continental runoff and increasing estuarine water residence time, which promotes a greater mobilization of ...

Radial patterns of 13 elements in the tree rings of beech trees from Mavrovo National park, FYROM [PDF]
The radial patterns of 13 elements (N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Na, Mn, Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd and Co) were analyzed in the tree rings of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.). The study site was located in an 'unpolluted' beech ecosystem in Mavrovo National Park.

Mining activity is often responsible for the drainage of acid or metal-enriched waters to fluvial systems. The release of metals is especially disturbing due to the toxicity and persistence of these products and their accumulation in the biosphere. Hence,

Isotopic comparison and correlation of δ13C between bulk wood and cellulose of Vitis vinifera L.
This study aims to compare the δ13C isotopic signal between bulk wood and α-cellulose in wood samples from the main trunk of Vitis vinifera L. to verify whether α-cellulose extraction is necessary for ecophysiological studies in this species.

Early-Wood vs. Late-Wood in Scots Pine: Finding Stable Relationships in Elemental Distribution
This study explored whether consistent differences can be found between early-wood and late-wood in terms of elemental content of tree rings. The species to study was Pinus sylvestris L. growing within an even-aged stand planted during the early 1970s in
