DOI: 10.1002/ecy.1785
Abstract: Tree masting is one of the most intensively studied ecological processes. It affects nutrient fluxes of trees, regeneration dynamics in forests, animal population densities, and ultimately influences ecosystem services. Despite a large volume of research… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00248-021-01736-5
Abstract: Forests on steep slopes constitute a significant proportion of European mountain areas and are important as production and protection forests. This study describes the soil fungal community structure in a European beech-dominated mountain forest stands… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10342-018-1155-7
Abstract: The assisted migration of resistant seeds and seedlings may be a key to mitigating the effects of climate change on the productivity and composition of forest ecosystems. These efforts require an understanding of the intraspecific… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10342-020-01274-8
Abstract: Climate change is increasingly favouring the occurrence of extreme weather events, affecting species distribution and tree growth. It has been proposed that mixed forests are more resistant to drought spells and heat waves than corresponding… 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.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2021.119383
Abstract: Abstract The common stand-level diameter distributions of old-growth forests (i.e., reverse-J or rotated sigmoid) resemble the managerial targets of selection forestry, seemingly making it a potential tool in continuous cover/close-to-nature forestry for the restoration of… read more here.

Abstract: The mechanistic pathways connecting ocean-atmosphere variability and terrestrial productivity are well-established theoretically, but remain challenging to quantify empirically. Such quantification will greatly improve the assessment and prediction of changes in terrestrial carbon sequestration in response… read more here.
