Features of Spatial Snag Distribution in a Beech-Fir Forest

Croatian Journal of Forest Engineering, 2011
With the participation of about 65% in the total growing stock of conifers, silver fir is the most important and the best represented conifer species in Croatia. The increasing share of sanitary felling in the annual felling plans demands that special attention be paid to the health status of fir forests and the quantity of unplanned felling.

Dragonfly taxonomic and functional responses to urbanized streams in southeastern Europe, with management recommendations

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Urbanization drives turnover in dragonfly species composition, traits, and habitat conservation value. Natural stream sections have a higher conservation value (higher DBI) due to presence of specialists. Properly managed urban streams can support diverse dragonfly assemblages.

Balancing Risk and Reward: Red Fox Exploitation of Kill Sites in a Wolf‐Occupied Landscape

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
Wolves are recolonising the European Alps, and the carcasses they leave behind are a valuable food source for smaller carnivores. Using camera traps at 26 wolf‐killed red deer carcasses in Stelvio National Park, we found that red foxes visited every carcass and timed their visits according to how much meat was left, rather than to whether wolves were ...

CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE STUDY OF FORESTS VEGETATION FROM THE SUPERIOR MOUNTAIN LEVEL OF HĂŞMAŞUL MARE MASSIF (EASTERN CARPATHIANS) [PDF]

Journal of Plant Development, 2007
The ecological conditions specific to the researched territory have favoured installation of a wooden vegetation represented by mountain beech forests, beech and resinous mixed forests and pure spruce-fir forests.

Provenance and environment jointly shape early regeneration in fir and beech: evidence from distributed participatory trials across Europe

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Location of fir (Abies) and beech (Fagus) seed provenances and the experimental field sites called micro‐gardens. Summary Forest regeneration is shaped by strong demographic filters during germination and early establishment, yet the relative contributions of seed provenance and environment remain poorly understood under natural conditions. We combined

Association of tree and plot characteristics with microhabitat formation in European beech and Douglas-fir forests

, 2015
Process-orientated, unmanaged forest remnants are not sufficient for halting the loss of forest biodiversity. Thus, integrated biodiversity-promoting management for forest inhabitants is needed.
