Classification of European beech forests: a Gordian Knot?

Applied Vegetation Science, 2017
AbstractQuestionsWhat are the main floristic patterns in European beech forests? Which classification at the alliance and suballiance level is the most convincing?LocationEurope and Asia Minor.MethodsWe applied a TWINSPAN classification to a data set of 24 605 relevés covering the whole range of Fagus sylvatica forests and the western part of Fagus ...

Regeneration growth and crown architecture of European beech and silver fir depend on gap characteristics and light gradient in the mixed montane old-growth stands

, 2021
Light is a vital factor affecting tree growth, survival and reproduction. In forests, natural and anthropogenic disturbances are the main drivers of abrupt changes in environmental conditions, including solar irradiance.

Assessing the synergistic value of ecosystem services in European beech forests

, 2021
Current policy pledges promote the expansion of conservation areas and mixed forests with endemic species. Climate change, however, may undermine these efforts and modify the relationships and benefits related to the ecosystem services provided by forest

Gene Flow in European Beech (Fagus sylvatica L.)

Genetica, 2004
Three relatively isolated stands were used to study gene flow in European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) in Northern Germany. Nine allozyme loci (Got-B, Idh-A, Lap-A, Mdh-B, Mdh-C, Mnr-A, 6-pgdh-A, Pgi-B and Pgm-A) were utilized for multilocus-genotyping adult trees and seeds. Expected heterozygosity (He) ranged from 0.325 to 0.351 for the three stands.

Fagus sylvatica L. (European Beech)

1996
Beeches are deciduous trees belonging to the family Fagaceae. The genus Fagus includes eight to ten species, native to the temperate regions of Europe, Asia, and North America (Table 1). They grow to a height of 20–50 m, and are often dominant or codominant trees in temperate forests.

Plastic growth response of european beech provenances to dry site conditions

IAWA Journal, 2013
Due to projected global warming, there is a great concern about the ability of European beech to adapt to future climate conditions. Provenance trials provide an excellent basis to assess the potential of various provenances to adjust to given climate conditions.

Vitality loss of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) and infestation by the European beech splendour beetle (Agrilus viridis L., Buprestidae, Coleoptera)

Forest Ecology and Management, 2019
Abstract Despite its dominance in Central Europe, beech cultivation is not without risks, because drought periods and direct solar radiation of the stem are suspected of causing branch dieback, sunburn and predisposition to attack by the European beech splendour beetle Agrilus viridis.
