DOI: 10.1007/s10342-019-01209-y
Abstract: In mixed-species forests, species composition of the overstorey affects regeneration processes through its influence on seed rain intensity and micro-site characteristics. Based on extensive inventory data (1583 sample plots), this study investigated relationships between the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10342-020-01319-y
Abstract: Recent studies show that several tree species are spreading to higher latitudes and elevations due to climate change. European beech, presently dominating from the colline to the subalpine vegetation belt, is already present in upper… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10886-020-01216-z
Abstract: The beech leaf-mining weevil, Orchestes fagi, is a common pest of European beech, Fagus sylvatica, and has recently become established in Nova Scotia, Canada where it similarly infests American beech, F. grandifolia. We collected volatile… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.dendro.2017.02.003
Abstract: Abstract The first dendrochronological network of European beech ( Fagus sylvatica L.) from eastern limit of its distribution was established covering the species’ altitudinal range (210–1160 m a.s.l.) and three eco-regions. Statistical analysis revealed spatial trends… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2020.117935
Abstract: Abstract European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) is the most commonly occurring deciduous tree species in Central Europe. Because of its competitiveness and (morphological) variability, it occurs in different species mixtures. The aim of the present… read more here.
