Effects of restoration practices on biodiversity in temperate and boreal forests

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Several restoration practices are used to mitigate and compensate for the negative effects of large‐scale forestry on biodiversity in temperate and boreal forests. A comprehensive synthesis of the benefits of these practices across taxa is missing. We conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis on this topic.

Fagus sylvatica 'Pendula': Weeping European Beech

EDIS, 2003
Weeping European Beech grows into a wide, weeping mass of green foliage, 30 to 50 feet tall and spreads 30 to 50 feet. Branches normally grow up, sag to the horizontal, then sweep toward the ground in a graceful fashion. Young trees are often trained with a central leader for 10 feet or more into the crown, then the tree is allowed to weep to the ...

Contrasting responses of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) H.Karst) and European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) seedlings to warming in the Western Carpathians: growth, root and leaf traits, physiology

Ecological Indicators
Climate warming is expected to influence forest regeneration, particularly in mountain ecosystems. However, experimental evidence on how key European tree species respond to warming during the early stages of development remains limited.

Effect of the density of transplants in reforestation on the morphological quality of the above-ground part of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) six years after planting

Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2013
Quality of the above-ground part of European beech planted at different densities and spacing patterns for the purpose of artificial forest regeneration was monitored 3, 4 and 6 years after planting.

Optimizing biodiversity offsetting for habitat succession and colonization dynamics

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity offsetting aims to compensate for ecological losses from development through conservation and restoration. However, its long‐term outcomes under repeated impact–offset cycles remain uncertain. Using a conceptual forest succession model, we evaluated how offset outcomes are affected by interactions among compensation scale ...

Landscape and Geography Determine Saproxylic Beetle Captures in Pheromone‐Baited Traps

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Pheromone‐baited traps at 39 forest sites across southern Sweden captured 58 saproxylic beetle species, including seven Red‐listed taxa. The effect of surrounding forest cover on beetle abundance may depend on latitude and longitude: positive effects were strongest in warmer southern and eastern regions but weakened or reversed in colder northwestern ...

Diversity and pathogenicity of Botryosphaeriaceae and Phytophthora species involved in emerging diseases of Fagus sylvatica in Italy and Slovenia

Italian Journal of Mycology
Extensive sunken and bleeding cankers, shoot blight, and root rot symptoms on European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) trees have recently been observed in several forest ecosystems in Italy and Slovenia.

Exploiting Native Biodiversity for Invasive Species Management: The Case of Exorista larvarum as a Natural Enemy of the Invasive Box Tree Moth Cydalima perspectalis

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
The investigations evaluated the performance of the native parasitoid Exorista larvarum (L.) on last instar Cydalima perspectalis (Walker) larvae, using the factitious host Galleria mellonella (L.) as a control. Laboratory bioassays were conducted using no‐choice and choice (1:1 and 5:5) experimental designs.

Management and tree dieback alter beetle assemblage structure and body size distribution in a temperate German forest

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Forest management and climate‐induced tree dieback alter the structural characteristics of forests, which could subsequently lead to changes in the structure of beetle assemblages. Beetle assemblages in more open forests exhibited less even abundance distributions, with fewer, more dominant species (higher rates of decline (r), higher dominance (d ...

Risk management strategies in higher education

European Management Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Higher education centres are facing escalating risks, such as increasing competition from a growing number of higher education organisations, as well as greater exposure to more complex regulatory frameworks and external evaluations. Consequently, university risk management has assumed increasing significance.
