The wolf is back! Non‐consumptive effects of the return of a large carnivore on the use of supplementary feeding sites by roe deer

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding how prey species tradeoff predation risk and resource acquisition is particularly important for advancing our knowledge of predator–prey relationships. We investigated this by studying the use of concentrated anthropogenic resources, namely supplementary feeding sites, by roe deer Capreolus capreolus before and after grey wolf Canis lupus

Tree species diversity drives above‐ground carbon sequestration through light‐related trait shifts

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Functional traits can vary in response to tree species mixing, which in turn might influence biomass production and, consequently, carbon (C) sequestration in diverse forests.

Rheological Model for Wood [PDF]

, 2014
Wood as the most important natural and renewable building material plays an important role in the construction sector. Nevertheless, its hygroscopic character basically affects all related mechanical properties leading to degradation of material ...

Decreasing water availability reduces productivity in Swiss forests along an altitudinal gradient

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Forests are one of the most important terrestrial carbon sinks, but are increasingly under pressure due to drought, heat and the occurrence of extreme events. There are opposing longer term trends for European forest growth reported, and severe drought and disturbance ...

Joining of the historical research and future prediction as a support tool for the assessment of management strategy for European beech-dominated forests in protected areas

Nature Conservation, 2017
European beech-dominated forests are crucial for maintaining biodiversity in forested mountain landscapes of the European temperate zone. This paper presents the results of research and assessment of management strategy for mountain beech-dominated ...

Why HR Has Failed to Address Healthcare's Workforce Crisis: The Need for a Systems Partner Role

Human Resource Management Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Attempts to remedy sustained workforce challenges facing healthcare organizations globally have been largely ineffective, despite increased political attention. In this paper we draw on contextually based human resource theory to explain why these challenges remain intractable.

Health Condition of European Beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) According to Provenances in International Provenance Trial

South-East European Forestry, 2012
The performance of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) is severely threatened by abiotic and biotic stresses, but the resilience of its provenances from distinct geographic areas has not been sufficiently studied.

Multi-aged micro-neighborhood patches challenge the forest cycle model in primeval European beech

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2020
As currently framed, the forest cycle model that underlies close-to-nature management in temperate beech forests throughout the globe specifies an orderly sequence of temporal development within even-aged patches comprising the forest mosaic.

Improvement of seed germination of Fagus orientalis Lipsky [PDF]

, 2003
This thesis was seeking two main approaches for improvement of seed germination of oriental beech, a timber producing species in Hyrcanian forests in northern Iran. Germination behavior of beechnuts was enhanced either by decreasing the dormancy breakage

Climate Change Strengthens Selection for Mast Seeding in European Beech

Current Biology, 2020
Climate change is altering patterns of seed production worldwide [1-4], but the potential for evolutionary responses to these changes is poorly understood. Masting (synchronous, annually variable seed production by plant populations) is selectively beneficial through economies of scale that decrease the cost of reproduction per surviving offspring [5-7]
