Past, present and future distributions of Oriental beech (Fagus orientalis) under climate change projections. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2020
Species distribution models can help predicting range shifts under climate change. The aim of this study is to investigate the late Quaternary distribution of Oriental beech (Fagus orientalis) and to project future distribution ranges under different ...

Climate Change Sensitivity and Regional Differences of the Upper Limit of Montane Deciduous Broad-Leaved Forests Across the Northern Hemisphere. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We developed a cloud model–based framework integrating multisource remote sensing data to quantify the climate change sensitivity of the upper limit of montane deciduous broad‐leaved forests (ULMDBs) across the Northern Hemisphere. Results reveal strong regional differences, with temperature dominating ULMDB sensitivity in humid regions and ...

Colonisation potential of the bark beetle (Taphrorychus bicolor) on beech logs and logging residues: ecological context and implications for pest management in forests. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
Beech residues left in shaded or semi‐shaded conditions pose a substantial risk of local Taphrorychus bicolor population outbreaks. The rapid removal or placement of residues in sun‐exposed locations can help mitigate this risk. Abstract BACKGROUND The bark beetle Taphrorychus bicolor has been traditionally classified as a secondary pest of European ...

Pruning the Tree: Comparing OTUs and ASVs in High-Throughput Sequencing of 5S-IGS Nuclear Ribosomal DNA in Phylogenetic Studies. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We compared the efficiency of operational taxonomic units (OTUs) and amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) of the 5S nrDNA arrays in evolutionary studies of a prominent tree genus of the Northern Hemisphere. Data targeting seven model samples of different beech (Fagus L., Fagaceae) species were processed in parallel with five different workflows ...

Potential Sustainability and Stress Resilience of Forest Trees Induced by Nanotechnology Applications. [PDF]

Plant Environ Interact
ABSTRACT Forest ecosystems play a crucial role in mitigating climate change, conserving biodiversity, supporting bioenergy production, and providing green jobs that sustain the livelihoods of billions worldwide. However, in recent decades, forests have become increasingly vulnerable to a range of abiotic and biotic stresses that impede forest yield and

Suitability of Fagus orientalis Lipsky at marginal Fagus sylvatica L. forest sites in Southern Germany

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2022
European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) is the most important tree species in Central Europe and is considered to be relatively resistant to climate warming.

Unexpected presence of Fagus orientalis complex in Italy as inferred from 45,000-year-old DNA pollen samples from Venice lagoon [PDF]

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2007
Background Phylogeographic analyses on the Western Euroasiatic Fagus taxa (F. orientalis, F. sylvatica, F. taurica and F. moesiaca) is available, however, the subdivision of Fagus spp.

Spermatophyta Molecular Clock: Time Drift and Recent Acceleration. [PDF]

Plant Environ Interact
Exponential increase in the base substitution rate in recent geologic time. ABSTRACT Angiospermae radiation is widely recognized as a mid‐Cretaceous event, but the adaptive radiation of Asarum and Viola as spring ephemerals also occurred during the Quaternary. To better understand the evolution of Angiospermae through geological time, a robust and well‐

Drivers of wood‐inhabiting fungal diversity in European and Oriental beech forests [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
The hyperdiverse wood‐inhabiting fungi play a crucial role in the global carbon cycle, but often are threatened by deadwood removal, particularly in temperate forests dominated by European beech (Fagus sylvatica) and Oriental beech (Fagus orientalis). To

Conservation Hotspots of <i>Quercus castaneifolia</i> Revealed Through the Integration of Genetic Diversity and Landscape Connectivity. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study integrates the genetic characterization of chestnut‐leaved oak across its distribution range in the Hyrcanian forests with landscape connectivity modeling to identify regions of high evolutionary and ecological importance. Two main core areas, located in the western and eastern parts of the Hyrcanian forests, were identified and connected by
