European beech (Fagus sylvatica) is the dominant tree species of Central Europe's natural
forests and one of the continent's most important timber species. This highly competitive …

Anthropogenic climate change pushes forest ecosystems globally beyond their limits.
Widespread events of forest die-off have been attributed to direct and indirect impacts of …

Global warming and increasing drought severity are exposing temperate forests to
increasing stress, challenging silvicultural decision making. Growth analyses in marginal …

Introduction Xeric (trailing) forest range limits are particularly vulnerable to impacts of
predicted climate change. Regional modelling studies contribute to the identification of …

The aim of this study is to provide quantitative information on the effect of climatic change on
the growth and vitality of European beech: although the species is considered in its optimum …

The ecophysiological observations and the investigations of the weather dependent vital
processes of the forests have clearly proved that the water supply in the main growing–main …

We analysed climate change impacts on the growth and natural mortality of forest tree
species and forest carbon (C) balance along an elevation gradient extending from the …

Mountains are highly sensitive to the effects of climate change, including extreme short-and
long-term weather phenomena. Therefore, in spite of relatively high annual precipitation …

In the face of climate warming, maps of potential tree species distribution can support forest
management planning at coarse scales. For evaluating future suitability, conditions at the …

In this paper, a novel decision support system (DSS) will be introduced, based on geospatial
data analyses that we developed for the Hungarian forestry and agricultural sectors. This …
