Turkey oak wood characterization
Turkey oak (Quercus cerris) is a tree naturally grown in southern Europe and Asia Minor, often planted as an ornamental tree. The leaves, bark and wood are used commercially as a source of tannins. It has not investigated too thoroughly as other oak species. In our research, Turkey oak wood from Kuršumlija (Serbia) was characterized.

Bryophytes are important forest ecosystem elements, being an integral part of biodiversity. Genetic studies contribute to bryophyte population ecology by helping to understand species historical distribution patterns and genetic diversity at different scales.

Ellagitannins quantification in oak wood and cognac eaux-de-vie
Ellagitannins are the main extractible oak wood phenolic compounds. These compounds are responsible for high wood durability and they can contribute to wine and spirits organoleptic quality (colour, astringency and bitterness).

Correlations between Oak Wood Properties
Correlations between the chemical composition and physical properties of oak wood were studied by correlation analysis. The specimens were produced from thermally treated oak wood at temperatures of 20 °C, 160 °C, 180 °C, 210 °C, and 240 °C. The physical properties were affected by the chemical composition of oak wood.

Fruit‐quality tradeoffs generate asymmetry in plant reliance on mutualistic frugivores
Seed dispersal is a fundamental ecological process influencing the evolution of plant life‐history strategies. In fleshy‐fruited plants dispersed by mutualistic frugivores, variation in fruit traits among closely related species may shape the temporal and spatial dynamics of dispersal events critical to population success.

Reindeer grazing induces spatial and functional shifts in root systems of boreal pine forests
The spatial distribution of roots, laterally and vertically, is critical for nutrient and water uptake and for driving root‐associated carbon inputs and turnover. Large herbivores, such as reindeer, influence ecosystems belowground by altering aboveground vegetation composition and soil microclimate.

From mainland to islands: the evolution of resistance and tolerance to herbivory in long‐lived oaks
Island biogeography theory predicts that island plants should exhibit reduced defences compared with their mainland relatives due to relaxed herbivory pressure. However, growing empirical evidence challenges this prediction, revealing substantial variation among systems, plant lineages and defence types.
