Sensitivity of Beech Trees to Global Environmental Changes at Most North-Eastern Latitude of Their Occurrence in Europe [PDF]
The present study aimed to detect sensitivity of beech trees (Fagus sylvatica L.) to meteorological parameters and air pollution by acidifying species as well as to surface ozone outside their north-eastern distribution range.

Sugar Maple Litter Decay Rates Are Reduced More Strongly by Drought Than by American Beech Proliferation in the Understory [PDF]
Recurrent drought threatens high‐latitude deciduous forests in eastern North America. The decline of sugar maple (Acer saccharum) at its northern limits under additional stress imposed by changing climate regimes and its replacement by American beech ...

Masting of European Beech in Seed Stands from Eastern Carpathians
Masting is the process of producing seed crops, which presents annual variation and synchronicity among individuals. Among the major species in Europe, beech is the most common deciduous species, a foundational species in the majority of forest ...

Because purple-flowered rhododendron (Rhododendron ponticum L.) and yellow-flowered rhododendron (R. flavum Don.) significantly reduce seedling growth and regeneration of eastern beech (Fagus orientalis Lipsky) as well as local floristic diversity in northern Turkey, effective and cost-efficient woody control is needed.

Forest Disturbance Types and Current Analogs for Historical Disturbance-Independent Forests
Forest classifications by disturbance permit designation of multiple types of both old growth forests and shorter-lived forests, which auto-replace under severe disturbance, and also identification of loss of the disturbance type and associated forest ...
