Alike but still different: coexistence of four raptor species explained by breeding habitat segregation

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Understanding how species competing for similar resources coexist and influence each other has been, and still is, one of the big questions of community ecology. This question has often been tackled by comparing ecological niches of species pairs, although usually more than just two species compete for the same resources.

Fagus sylvatica 'Dawyck': 'Dawyck' European Beech

open access: yesEDIS, 2014
Upright European Beech grows in a columnar form without pruning perhaps to 70 or 80 feet tall. The crown spreads to about 30 feet. The tree grows slowly, recovers slowly from transplanting and prefers a sunny location and a moist, light soil.

Within‐tree spatial heterogeneity of sap flow velocities and wood properties and its effect on the uncertainty of tree level sap flux estimates

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
As forests are important for biodiversity and recreation and provide vital resources globally, it is essential that their health can be accurately monitored, for example, by using sap flow probes to measure tree water uptake. We investigated whether sap flow measurements might differ at various locations within the same tree due to variation in wood ...

Assessment of tree species specific phenology metrics from Sentinel-2 data to complement in situ monitoring

open access: yesEcological Indicators
Monitoring tree phenology is key to understanding forest dynamics under climate change. Events like leaf unfolding and senescence affect ecosystem productivity, tree mortality, and species interactions.

Introduced plant species in the urban environment of the temperate-continental climate zone under conditions of global warming

open access: yesRegulatory Mechanisms in Biosystems, 2023
Global climate change stimulates migration, which increases the number of introduced plant species, as well as those with a status of rarity, so the aim of the study was to identify highly promising plants of rare and decorative species in Ukraine to ...

Needle in a haystack: Holocene history of European larch in Central Europe revisited

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Defining nativity of species is crucial for their management. However, this is a complex task, especially for species that have been used and spread by humans for a long time. We combined paleoecological records with extensive genetic data to investigate the Holocene history of European larch—a common and economically important tree species in Central ...

Evolutionary Imprints on the Foliar Elementome: Biogeochemical Niche Differentiation Among Fagus Species

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Although phylogenetically related plant species often differ in competitive ability, the underlying causes remain poorly understood. The present study characterizes the biogeochemical niches (BN) of Fagus species to clarify interspecific variation in ...

Leaf cuticle micromorphology of Fagus L. (Fagaceae) species

open access: yesJournal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2014
Cuticle micromorphology of all eight species of Fagus and an outgroup were examined in the present study. The genus Trigonobalanus was selected as the outgroup.

Using Airborne Laser Scanning and Sentinel‐2 to Understand Subcanopy Light Regimes and Understory Diversity of Vascular Plants in Temperate Mountain Forests

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that not just Airborne Laser Scanning, but also Sentinel‐2 can effectively estimate absolute canopy cover and canopy cover heterogeneity ‐ structural metrics that determine the subcanopy light regime, found to be linked to the vascular plant species richness in the understory of temperate mountain forests.

Relationships between browsing damage and woody species dominance

open access: yesJournal of Forest Science, 2009
The paper analyzes data on browsing damage to food-attractive woody species, viz. Acer campestre, Acer pseudoplatanus, Acer platanoides, Fraxinus excelsior, Sorbus aucuparia and most often eudominant Fagus sylvatica.
