Gap disturbance regime in an old-growth Fagus–Abies forest in the Dinaric Mountains, Bosnia-Herzegovina
Due to the scarcity of old-growth forests in much of Europe, there is little quantitative
information on disturbance processes that influence forest dynamics. However, this …

Gap-phase dynamics in the old-growth forest of Lom, Bosnia and Herzegovina
We investigated forest canopy gaps in the mixed beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), silver fir (Abies
alba Miller), and Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) old-growth forest of Lom in the …

Natural gap dynamics in a Central European mixed beech—spruce—fir old-growth forest
K Kenderes, K Kral, T Vrška, T Standovár - Ecoscience, 2009 - Taylor & Francis
We provide a study on long-term canopy gap dynamics in the Źofin Virgin Forest (total area

Canopy gap dynamics and tree understory release in a virgin beech forest, Slovakian Carpathians
Canopy gaps play a crucial role for forest dynamics processes, as they largely determine
light transmission to lower canopy strata, thereby controlling the turnover of tree individuals …

Canopy gaps in an old-growth fir-beech forest remnant of Western Carpathians
The old-growth forest remnants of Western Carpathians provide a unique possibility to study
the disturbance regimes of forest ecosystems without human influence. This study …

Gap dynamics in a near-natural spruce forest at Mt. Brocken, Germany
S Kathke, H Bruelheide - Forest Ecology and Management, 2010 - Elsevier
We analyzed indices of gap dynamics, ie gap formation and gap closure rates as well as
turnover rates, in a montane conifer forest in the temperate zone and asked:(1) Are the …
