Trajectory from beech and oak forests to eastern broadleaf forests in Indiana, USA [PDF]
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).

The north-eastern distribution range of European beech a review [PDF]
Forestry, 2007 Today, European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) seems to be a markedly successful tree species in the north-east of its distribution range. The distribution area may be larger than originally assumed; past forest management is probably the main cause of the contraction in the postglacial European beech range.

Sensitivity of Beech Trees to Global Environmental Changes at Most North-Eastern Latitude of Their Occurrence in Europe [PDF]
The Scientific World Journal, 2012 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.

RESTRICTING CLIMATIC CONDITIONS ON THE EASTERN DISTRIBUTION LIMIT OF EUROPEAN BEECH (FAGUS SYLVATICA) IN NORTH-EASTERN ROMANIA FOR THE MARCH – JUNE INTERVAL [PDF]
Present Environment and Sustainable Development, 2019 The meteo-climatic arguments for the eastern biogeographic limit of beech in Romania are of particular interest to forestry, but also to geographers and climatologists.

A CONTRIBUTION TO THE INVESTIGATION OF THE HOLOCENE HISTORY OF THE BEECH IN THE EASTERN NETHERLANDS [PDF]
Acta Botanica Neerlandica, 1964 To study the immigration and spreading of the beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) in the Netherlands during the young Holocene, three peat bogs were palynologically investigated in the eastern Netherlands and in the adjacent German area. For this purpose peat samples have been collected in the Korenburgerveen near Winterswijk, in a peat bog near Burlo (Germany)

Modelling the demographic sustainability of pure beech plenter forests in Eastern Germany [PDF]
Annals of Forest Science, 2006 The aim of this study is to scrutinise whether a dynamic equilibrium model based on sustainability of the demography is valid for pure beech plenter forests. Broad-leaved trees in general, and beech in particular react differently to individualisation and to shade than conifers, because of differences in space occupancy and their reaction to shade ...

Microhabitat Selectivity of Mites (Acari) in a Natural Lowland Beech Forest (Melico-Fagetum) in Wronie Reserve (Poland) [PDF]
InsectsThe European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) is a tree species common throughout Europe, with the eastern boundary of its range extending across Poland. Samples were collected in several microhabitats of beech stands (e.g., leaf litter, rotting wood, moss ...

Variable Breeding Strategies in a Fluctuating Environment: A Feeding Experiment in Eastern Chipmunks [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionSmall mammals inhabiting pulsed‐resource environments, such as forests with intermittent seed masting of trees, often adjust their allocation to reproduction with the drastic fluctuations in food availability.

Sugar Maple Litter Decay Rates Are Reduced More Strongly by Drought Than by American Beech Proliferation in the Understory [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionRecurrent 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
South-East European ForestryMasting 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 ...
