The Utilization of European Beech Wood (Fagus sylvatica L.) in Europe

Forests, 2023
European beech is one of the dominating wood species in central Europe and the most abundant hardwood species in Austrian, German and Swiss forests. Today, it is predominantly used for the provision of energy and in the furniture industry.

Variation of leaf angle distribution quantified by terrestrial LiDAR in natural European beech forest

ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, 2019
Leaf inclination angle and leaf angle distribution (LAD) are important plant structural traits, influencing the flux of radiation, carbon and water. Although leaf angle distribution may vary spatially and temporally, its variation is often neglected in ...

Modeliranje višinske in debelinske rasti dominantnih dreves ter ocenjevanje indeksov produkcijske sposobnosti gozdnih rastišč

Acta Silvae et Ligni, 2021
Modeling the height and diameter growth of trees is an important part of forest management. Growth models provide the basis for determining the thinning regime, target tree dimensions and optimal proportions of developmental phases of forest stands.

Distinct Responses of European Beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) to Drought Intensity and Length—A Review of the Impacts of the 2003 and 2018–2019 Drought Events in Central Europe

Forests, 2023
A combined severe heatwave and drought, starting in 2018 and lasting for several months, restarted the discussion on the resistance of European beech to climatic changes, with severe growth reductions, early leaf senescence, leaf browning, and diebacks ...

The Future of European Beech in Northern Germany—Climate Change Vulnerability and Adaptation Potential

Forests, 2023
Earth’s forests are increasingly exposed to climate risks through climate change-related drought and heat waves. Here, we review the climate vulnerability of European beech (Fagus sylvatica), the most abundant tree species of Central Europe’s temperate ...

Methane emission from stems of European beech (Fagus sylvatica) offsets as much as half of methane oxidation in soil

New Phytologist, 2023
Trees are known to be atmospheric methane (CH4) emitters. Little is known about seasonal dynamics of tree CH4 fluxes and relationships to environmental conditions. That prevents the correct estimation of net annual tree and forest CH4 exchange.

From the comfort zone to crown dieback: Sequence of physiological stress thresholds in mature European beech trees across progressive drought.

Science of the Total Environment, 2021
Drought responses of mature trees are still poorly understood making it difficult to predict species distributions under a warmer climate. Using mature European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), a widespread and economically important tree species in Europe ...

Summer drought exposure, stand structure, and soil properties jointly control the growth of European beech along a steep precipitation gradient in northern Germany

Global Change Biology, 2022
Increasing exposure to climate warming‐related drought and heat threatens forest vitality in many regions on earth, with the trees' vulnerability likely depending on local climatic aridity, recent climate trends, edaphic conditions, and the drought ...

Tracing the origin of Oriental beech stands across Western Europe and reporting hybridization with European beech – implications for assisted gene flow

bioRxiv, 2022
Human-aided translocation of individuals within the species’ range, assisted gene flow (AGF), has been suggested as a climate change mitigation strategy, especially for foundational species, such as forest trees.

Biomass functions applicable to European beech [PDF]

Journal of Forest Science, 2005
This material describes parameterization of allometric functions applicable to biomass estimation of European beech trees. It is based on field data from destructive measurements of 20 full-grown trees with diameter at breast height (dbh) from 5.7 to 62.1 cm.
