Drivers of wood-inhabiting fungal diversity in European and Oriental beech forests. [PDF]
Ecol EvolAbstractThe hyperdiverse wood‐inhabiting fungi play a crucial role in the global carbon cycle, but often are threatened by deadwood removal, particularly in temperate forests dominated by European beech (Fagus sylvatica) and Oriental beech (Fagus orientalis).

Some physical characteristics of thermally modified oriental-beech wood [PDF]
Maderas. Ciencia y Tecnología, 2014 Heat treatment of Oriental-beech (Fagus orientalis) wood was carried out by hot air in an oven for 2, 4, and 8 h at 140, 170, and 200°C. After heat treatment, some physical characteristics such as surface roughness, color, glossiness, and mass loss of Oriental-beech wood specimens were measured.Our results showed that heat treatment caused decrease in ...

Provenance Variation in Functional Traits of European Forest Trees: Meta-Analysis Reveals Effects of Taxa and Age Despite Critical Research Gaps. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis meta‐analysis on intraspecific variation in European trees studied the frequency of provenance variation, provenance–environment interaction, clinal variation along the climate of origin or transfer distance. While identifying trait group specific patterns of variation, research gaps have been identified in terms of age and geographical ...

Biodiversity, Phylogeny, and Evolutionary Dynamics of Gall Midges on Japanese Beech Trees. [PDF]
Ecol EvolLeaf galls of 29 types were collected from Japanese endemic beech trees (Fagus L.). Most of the gall inducers formed a monophyletic clade within the tribe Dasineurini. The Fagus‐feeding gall midges underwent adaptive radiation since the Miocene, accompanied by multiple host shifts between F. crenata and F. japonica.

Wild Japanese Marten, <i>Martes melampus melampus</i> (Carnivora: Mustelidae), Is a New Host for Zoonotic <i>Thelazia callipaeda</i> Eyeworm. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWild Japanese martens serve as a natural host for Thelazia callipaeda, contributing to its transmission in the sylvatic cycle. ABSTRACT Thelazia callipaeda is a spirurid nematode that parasitizes the eyes of mammals, including carnivores, lagomorphs, and humans.

Physical properties of Oriental beech impregnated and coated with some chemicals
Polímeros, 2023 Abstract In this research, oven-dry density, air-dry density, and water absorption levels of Oriental beech treated with flame-resistant chemicals (FRC) and coated with polyurethane/polyure (PU) and epoxy (EP) were evaluated. According to ISO 3129 standard, the experimental specimens were made from Oriental beech wood.

Thermal degradation of oriental beech wood impregnated with different inorganic salts [PDF]
Maderas. Ciencia y tecnología, 2019 This study investigated the thermal properties of Oriental beech (Fagus orientalis) treated with (NH4)2HPO4, K2HPO4, NH4Cl and (NH4)2SO4 salts and their mixtures (1:1; w/w) aqueous solutions at 3% concentrations. The effects of different inorganic salts fire retardants on the thermal degradation characteristics of wood samples were evaluated by ...

Determination of stand structure in even-aged Oriental Beech Forests in Turkey [PDF]
Bosque (Valdivia), 2016 This study aimed at developing a stand yield model for even-aged and pure Oriental beech (Fagus orientalis) stands in Sinop Province, located in the north of Turkey. The data used in this study were obtained from 238 sample plots. The sample plots are 24-131 years of stand age range, 19.0-35.9 m of site index range, and 2.2-10.8 of stand density range (
