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

Biodiversity, Phylogeny, and Evolutionary Dynamics of Gall Midges on Japanese Beech Trees. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Leaf galls of 29 types were collected from Japanese endemic beech trees (Fagus L.). Most of the gall inducers formed a monophyletic clade within the tribe Dasineurini. The Fagus‐feeding gall midges underwent adaptive radiation since the Miocene, accompanied by multiple host shifts between F. crenata and F. japonica.

Provenance Variation in Functional Traits of European Forest Trees: Meta-Analysis Reveals Effects of Taxa and Age Despite Critical Research Gaps. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This meta‐analysis on intraspecific variation in European trees studied the frequency of provenance variation, provenance–environment interaction, clinal variation along the climate of origin or transfer distance. While identifying trait group specific patterns of variation, research gaps have been identified in terms of age and geographical ...

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‐

Climate-Driven Range Shifts and Conservation Challenges for Brown Bears in Türkiye. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study investigates the potential distribution of brown bears (Ursus arctos) in Türkiye under various climate change scenarios, highlighting significant habitat vulnerability and a projected northward range shift. By employing an ensemble forecasting approach, we assess the efficacy of existing protected areas and emphasize the urgent need for ...

Šumska vegetacija Trešnjika kod Banje Luke

Glasnik Šumarskog Fakulteta Univerziteta u Banjoj Luci, 2016
Rad obrađuje šumsku vegetaciju potencijalnog Natura 2000 područja „Trešnjik” na Starčevici kod Banje Luke. Iako područje leži nadomak glavnog grada Republike Srpske, šumska vegetacija do sada nije bila istraživana.

Material Resistance and Moisture Dynamics of Beech Wood (Fagus orientalis)

Bulletin of the Transilvania University of Brasov. Series II: Forestry • Wood Industry • Agricultural Food Engineering, 2023
In this paper, the natural durability of commercial wood (beech wood) was studied by measuring its water exclusion efficacy and durability against fungi. This information was utilized in the Meyer−Veltrup model to calculate the resistance dose. The results showed that Fagus orientalis (Lipsky) heartwood and sapwood were less durable (DC 4−5). After one
