Predicting phenology of European beech in forest habitats [PDF]

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2018
Reliable phenological observations are important for studying the response of trees to climate and climate change. National phenological networks were not specifically established to monitor tree phenology within forests, yet they are often used to generalise tree phenological phases at national or regional scales.

Late Holocene environmental history of Dojran, Macedonia: Investigating the interplay of imperial dynamics and climatic change

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents a high‐resolution, multi‐proxy reconstruction of environmental and land‐use change from Lake Dojran over historical times (last 2500 years), combining pollen, biomarkers, radiocarbon dating, Ottoman taxation records and other historical data.

Functional traits in soil-living oribatid mites unveil trophic reorganization in belowground communities by introduced tree species

Geoderma
Biodiversity loss and its potential threat on ecosystem functions call for a critical evaluation of human impacts on forest ecosystems. Management practices based on stand diversification offer a possible solution to biodiversity loss due to monoculture ...

Dominance of Fagus sylvatica in the Growing Stock and Its Relationship to Climate—An Analysis Using Modeled Stand-Level Climate Data

Plants, 2022
In the future, climate change is expected to affect the spatial distribution of most tree species in Europe. The European beech (Fagus sylvatica), a drought-sensitive tree species, is currently distributed throughout Europe, where it is an ecologically ...

Interplanetary frontiers: terraforming from an invasion science perspective

Oikos, EarlyView.
The pursuit of a multi‐planetary existence represents one of humanity's greatest frontiers. If applied justly, it offers an opportunity to extend its civilization's lifespan amid escalating sustainability crises on Earth. One approach increasingly gaining traction is terraforming, a hitherto theoretical ecological and evolutionary experiment revolving ...

Home-Field Advantage of Litter Decomposition Faded 8 Years after Spruce Forest Clearcutting in Western Germany

Soil Systems, 2022
Home-field advantage (HFA) encompasses all the processes leading to faster litter decomposition in the ‘home’ environment compared to that of ‘away’ environments.

Within‐tree spatial heterogeneity of sap flow velocities and wood properties and its effect on the uncertainty of tree level sap flux estimates

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
As forests are important for biodiversity and recreation and provide vital resources globally, it is essential that their health can be accurately monitored, for example, by using sap flow probes to measure tree water uptake. We investigated whether sap flow measurements might differ at various locations within the same tree due to variation in wood ...

Large‐scale characterization of horizontal forest structure from remote sensing optical images

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Sub‐meter resolution remote sensing data and tree crown segmentation techniques hold promise in offering detailed information that can support the characterization of forest structure from a horizontal perspective, offering new insights in the tree crown structure at scale.

An episodic event of pollen transport of European beech [PDF]

Advances in Science and Research, 2010
Abstract. The meteorological impacts on pollen emission and spread in a typical Central European forest of mixed deciduous and coniferous trees are investigated. Pollen samples as well as meteorological measurements have been conducted during the flowering period of spring flowering tree species in 2009.

Physiological and Hyperspectral Responses of Individual European Beech Trees to Drought Stress: A Pilot Study During a Compound Drought and Heatwave Event

Remote Sensing
European beech is a species of both ecological and economic relevance in Europe. However, its high sensitivity to drought poses a significant risk amid increasing climate extremes.
