1. Exposed riverine sediments are difficult substrata for seedling establishment because of
extremes in the microclimate, poor soil conditions and frequent habitat turnover. Various …

Rapid progress is being made in many areas of forest population genetics owing to the
newly available molecular techniques and the fast growth of genomic and sequence data …

Dynamic interaction between river morphodynamics and vegetation affects river channel
patterns and populations of riparian species. A range of numerical models exists to …

Summary 1 We used genetic markers to study gene flow of the riparian pioneer tree species
Populus nigra along the Drôme river (France). This dioecious species is supposed to have …

Black poplar (Populus nigra L.) is a keystone species for riparian ecosystems in Europe. We
analysed the structure of genetic diversity of 17 populations from 11 river valleys that are …

Populus nigra L. var betulifolia and Salix alba L. var alba are early successional riparian tree
species threatened throughout Continental Europe by significant changes to the natural …

The structure of the floodplain forests of the Middle Ebro River (NE Spain) was examined at
patch and landscape scales along a three-step chronosequence defined according to the …

Improving our knowledge of regeneration processes in riparian woodlands could help guide
restoration projects by enhancing the natural regeneration potential of riparian tree species …

Abstract The European black poplar (Populus nigra L.) is a major species of riparian
softwood forests. Due to human influences, it is one of the most threatened tree species in …

The European black poplar is a pioneer tree species of the riparian ecosys-tem. Its natural
habitat is exposed to anthropogenic alteration. Overexploitation of the trees, and interaction …
