In recent years, there has been an intense desiccation of spruce forests in the Ukrainian Carpathians, where European spruce is the main forest-forming species.

Radial Growth of Qilian Juniper on the Northeast Tibetan Plateau and Potential Climate Associations [PDF]
There is controversy regarding the limiting climatic factor for tree radial growth at the alpine treeline on the northeastern Tibetan Plateau. In this study, we collected 594 increment cores from 331 trees, grouped within four altitude belts spanning the

A fast screening approach for genetic tolerance to air pollution in Scots pine field tests
This study aims to develop a screening approach for genetic tolerance to industrial pollution in Scots pine. The relationship between temporal variation in strength of genetic control on radial increment of seed orchard clones affected by air pollution ...

The radial increment of European ash (Fraxinus excelsior L.) under climate change, Ukraine
The aim of the study was to compare the response of the radial increment of European ash (Fraxinus excelsior L.) in the Western and Eastern forest steppe of Ukraine to climate change. The growth-climate relationships were estimated for 1961-1987 and 1988-

Antifungal effect and reduction of Ulmus minor symptoms to Ophiostoma novo-ulmi by carvacrol and salicylic acid [PDF]
There are still no effective means to control Dutch elm disease (DED), caused by the vascular fungi Ophiostoma ulmi and O. novo-ulmi. Plant phenolics may provide a new strategy for DED control, given their known antifungal activity against pathogens and ...

Climate driven trends in tree biomass increment show asynchronous dependence on tree-ring width and wood density variation [PDF]
Tree growth is a key ecosystem function supporting climate change mitigation strategies. However climate change may induce feedbacks on radial growth and wood density, affecting the carbon sequestration capacity of forests.

Response of Gall oak (Quercus infectoria Oliv.) to pollarding in northern Zagros [PDF]
This study aimed to investigate the response of Gall oak (Quercus infectoria Oliv.) to pollarding. Therefore, a less-disturbed stand (1.4 ha) and a pollarded stand (1.7 ha) were selected. Five rectangular plots (20×30 m) were established in each selected

Using longitudinal survival probabilities to test field vigour estimates in sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.) [PDF]
Tree mortality is a major force driving forest dynamics. To foresters, however, tree mortality is often considered a loss in productivity. To reduce tree mortality, silvicultural systems, such as selection cuts, aim at removing trees that are more likely
