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: 10.1007/s11676-017-0567-4
Abstract: AbstractThis paper discusses the early silviculture of silver fir (Abies alba Mill.), a major softwood in Romania covering more than 294,000 ha. Three research plots (DRP1, DRP2 and DRP3) were established in a 25-year-old silver fir-dominated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.dendro.2017.07.005
Abstract: Abstract Climate influences wood density and this relationship affects the ability of conifer forests to uptake and store carbon. Some conifer species can show mixed responses to long-term climate variability in their within-ring width and… read more here.

Tracking the origin of silver fir plantations along the boundary between different genetic clusters in central Apennines: Implications for their management

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2017.10.045
Abstract: Abstract Reforestation with native species determines that autochthonous populations and plantations are often within the reach of gene flow. To address efficient strategies for forest plantation management it is fundamental to track the origin of… read more here.

Adaptation to local climate in multi-trait space: evidence from silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) populations across a heterogeneous environment
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Heredity"
DOI: 10.1038/s41437-019-0240-0
Abstract: Heterogeneous environments, such as mountainous landscapes, create spatially varying selection pressure that potentially affects several traits simultaneously across different life stages, yet little is known about the general patterns and drivers of adaptation in such… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-52670-z
Abstract: At the 1000 km geographical distance in Dinaric montane forests of silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) and European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), the tree response from the north-western sites towards southern, warmer and dryer sites was… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.16170
Abstract: Rear‐edge populations at the xeric distribution limit of tree species are particularly vulnerable to forest dieback triggered by drought. This is the case of silver fir (Abies alba) forests located in Southwestern Europe. While silver… read more here.

Unexpected scenarios from Mediterranean refugial areas: disentangling complex demographic dynamics along the Apennine distribution of silver fir

DOI: 10.1111/jbi.13011
Abstract: Aim Mediterranean refugial areas are generally underrepresented in large-scale genetic surveys of forest trees. In the case of silver fir (Abies alba Mill.), this has led to divergent hypotheses about the exact location of glacial… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.14538
Abstract: Genetic association studies in forest trees would greatly benefit from information on the response of trees to environmental stressors over time, which can be provided by dendroecological analysis. Here, we jointly analysed dendroecological and genetic… read more here.
