ABSTRACT The persistence of organisms in changing climates depends on both phenotypic plasticity and adaptation. However, despite extensive research, it remains largely unclear how forest trees will genetically adapt or phenotypically acclimate to future climates.

Stomatal and non-stomatal limitations on leaf carbon assimilation in beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) seedlings enduring moderate water stress under natural conditions [PDF]
Seasonal variation and the differential effect of drought on photosynthetic parameters involved in carbon assimilation in forest species have been poorly studied under natural conditions.

Evaluation of the nuclear DNA content and GC percent in four varieties of Fagus sylvatica L
The nuclear DNA content of Fagus sylvatica has been assessed for the first time by flow cytometry and propidium iodide staining. Three beech varieties were compared to the common beech: the tortuosa, the purpurea and the pendula varieties. Values were 2C

Shaping future forests: how can ecophysiology support climate‐smart forest management?
Summary Climate change, particularly the associated increase in extreme events and disturbances, threatens the numerous environmental, social, and economic benefits that forests provide, both locally and globally. Heat and drought pose significant risks to forest ecosystems; the anticipated future climate is expected to exacerbate this trend ...

Summary Plant water storage contributes to transpiration, but it is unclear how its relevance in supporting transpiration depends on the stringency of stomatal regulation. Here, we show the compounding effect of stomatal regulation and hydraulic capacitance on plant water use, by means of a soil–plant hydraulic model and measurements of leaf water ...

Genetic variation of the beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) in Slovenia
Raziskava obravnava genetsko variabilnost, genetsko raznolikost in genetsko diferenciacijo bukve (Fagus sylvatica L.) v Sloveniji. S pomočjo izoencimske analize smo pregledali 13 avtohtonih bukovih populacij.

Summary The study of seasonal xylem hydraulics has predominantly focused on embolism‐induced losses, whereas growth‐driven increases in hydraulic capacity have received little attention. We assessed the intra‐annual dynamics of xylem formation and gain of conductivity in the current‐year ring of three species with contrasting tree‐ring structure ...
