The complex of beech taxa in western Eurasia (Fagus sylvatica L. sl) represents one of the
most widespread broad-leaved trees in the temperate forests of the northern hemisphere …

Virgin beech Fagus orientalis forests in northern Iran provide a unique opportunity to study
the disturbance regimes of forest ecosystems without human influence. The aim of this …

Allometric variations in tree height and stem diameter are a genetically controlled trait that
reflects the ability of trees to adjust to different environmental conditions. This paper …

We examined the short-term effects of group-selection harvesting with seed tree retention on
the diversity, abundance and establishment of tree seedlings in a northern hardwood forest …

Prolonged summer droughts constitute to a major risk for the cultivation of beech in Central
Europe. Therefore the identification of beech ecotypes that cope with growth conditions …

Climate projections indicate large increases in temperature, requiring tree species to adapt
or migrate faster than observed historic rates. In Central Europe, discussion in forest …

Mapping landscape variation in tree species richness (SR) is essential to the long term
management and conservation of forest ecosystems. The current study examines the …

This paper examines the possible ecological controls on the diameter increment of oriental
beech (Fagus orientalis Lipsky) in a high altitude forest in northern Iran. The main objectives …

As conservationists develop strategies for managing coarse woody debris in natural areas
information on the volume and distribution of deadwood in relatively undisturbed forests …

Rising temperatures and increasing drought severity linked to global climate change are
negatively impacting forest growth and function at the equatorial range edge of species …
