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.
