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/s10841-018-0050-3
Abstract: European mountain forests are unique ecosystems, and they harbour specific saproxylic beetle fauna, including relict species such as the longhorn beetle Ropalopus ungaricus (Herbst, 1784). This endangered species is endemic to European mountain forests and… read more here.

DOI: 10.17221/4651-jfs
Abstract: Forest management in the Czech Republic (CR) was not shaped in the environment of natural forests but in the territory that was influenced by unregulated felling and animal grazing for a long time. Hence the… read more here.

Predictors of Microhabitat Frequency and Diversity in Mixed Mountain Forests in South-Western Germany
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Forests"
DOI: 10.3390/f9030104
Abstract: Tree-related microhabitats are an important determinant of forest biodiversity. Habitat trees, which typically provide many microhabitats such as hollows, crown dead wood, etc., are therefore selected to maintain those structural attributes within managed forests. To… read more here.
