De‐Coupled Water and Nitrogen Translocation From Subsoil to Canopy of Temperate Forest Trees
ABSTRACT Water and nitrogen (N) transport from soil to canopy play a central role in tree functioning, yet direct evidence for their timing and coupling in mature forests remains scarce. We report results from a paired dual‐isotope (2H, 15N) tracer experiment in a temperate forest, comparing water and nitrate uptake patterns across tree species ...

Abstract Heatwaves are intensifying worldwide, often coinciding with high vapour pressure deficit (VPD) and soil drought. Yet, how temperate tree species tolerate these combined stresses remains elusive. Using single‐tree gas‐exchange chambers, we examined the response of leaf gas exchange and thermoregulation of three broadleaved tree species to a ...

Selected properties of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.)
The paper deals with the variability of tree-ring width, with the density and swelling (volumetric swelling and swelling in individual anatomical directions) of wood from two different locations.

Are beech (Fagus sylvatica) roots territorial?
Abstract Root competition between conspecific neighbours has been notoriously difficult to determine in intact ecosystems. Here we applied microsatellite markers to genotype beech trees (Fagus sylvatica, L.) and roots in subplots in an undisturbed, old-growth monospecific forest (Hainich, Germany).

Abstract Introduction Understanding how herbivores influence plant communities is critical for managing biodiversity and ecosystem functions, particularly in conservation areas undergoing restoration or rewilding, where free‐ranging large herbivores impact the vegetation development.

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 ...
