Causes of co-existence of cool-temperate Fagus and warm-loving evergreen Quercus forests in central Italy during the Holocene thermal maximum

Forest Ecosystems
Mediterranean forest communities are particularly diverse but at risk due to their sensitivity to global warming. Understanding the long-term vulnerability of Mediterranean vegetation to climate change is crucial for conservation and management purposes.

Classification and Protection Status of Remnant Natural Plant Communities in Arkansas [PDF]

, 1981
A classification and inventory of Arkansas\u27s remaining tracts of relatively undisturbed vegetation was initiated in 1979. Based on extensive literature surveys and field work, the classification includes five physiognomic classes, 17 cover classes ...

Modelling understorey dynamics in temperate forests under global change : challenges and perspectives [PDF]

, 2018
The understorey harbours a substantial part of vascular plant diversity in temperate forests and plays an important functional role, affecting ecosystem processes such as nutrient cycling and overstorey regeneration.

Linking sap flow and tree water deficit in an unmanaged, mixed beech forest during the summer drought 2022

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Sap flow and reversible stem shrinkage upon water depletion are strongly correlated under extreme drought conditions, but they respond differently to drought and cannot be used interchangeably when assessing tree response to drought. Abstract Temperate mixed forests are currently experiencing severe drought conditions and face increased risk of ...

Disentangling the effects of geographical location and local climate on masting in Fagus crenata using a comprehensive population model

Basic and Applied Ecology
Masting, the intermittent and highly temporally variable production of seed crops, is exhibited by many plant genera, including Fagus. Although patterns of masting have been investigated over a wide range of areas, very few studies have comprehensively ...

Factors determining the occurrence of Flat Bugs (Aradidae) in beech dominated forests [PDF]

, 2007
The habitat requirements of most Aradidae and the decisive factors that influence their occurrence are still poorly understood. To reduce this lack of knowledge a standardised survey of Aradidae in two large beech forest areas of Bavaria (northern ...

Iron Age to Medieval entomogamous vegetation and Rhinolophus hipposideros roost in south-eastern Wales (UK) [PDF]

, 2006
Karst cave systems are well developed in Wales (UK) and, in some instances, constitute important bat roosts. Ogof Draenen, near Blaenavon in south-east Wales, is the most recent major cave discovery (1994) with already > 70 km of passages explored ...

Redistribution of soil water by mature trees towards dry surface soils and uptake by seedlings in a temperate forest

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Mature beech trees redistributed soil water, equal to ca. 10% of stand transpiration, from deeper moist soils to dry surface soils, where it was taken up by seedlings of different tree species. Abstract Hydraulic redistribution is considered a crucial dryland mechanism that may be important in temperate environments facing increased soil drying–wetting
