Plant hydraulic traits are key for understanding and predicting tree drought responses. Information about the degree of traits’ intra-specific variability may guide selection drought-resistant genotypes is crucial trait-based modelling approaches. For three temperate minor broadleaf species Acer platanoides, Carpinus betulus Tilia cordata, we measured xylem embolism resistance (P50), leaf turgo...

Deadwood provides an important carbon source in forests and wooded ecosystems and, accordingly, forest management strategies discuss the enrichment of deadwood amount diversity by different tree species. To investigate decomposition processes enriched deadwood, we simultaneously placed 3,669 size-standardized gamma sterilized wood specimens 13 species ( Populus tremula, Tilia cordata, Prunus av...

In conventional microclimate environment modelling, and the development of tree planning strategies for urban heat mitigation, crown surface albedo any given species is assumed to be a constant. However, our recent research into radiative performance at level implied that changes over time. Based on in-situ spectroscopy protocols established previously measure transflectance, variation in chara...

Seventeen collections of the genus Parasola from Croatia were studied with integrative taxonomic methods. papillatospora is described as a new species, based on morphology and multigene phylogenetic analyses. Its basidiomata growing soil in temperate deciduous forests (Quercus petraea, Fagus sylvatica, Carpinus betulus) two different localities NW Croatia. Based publicly available molecular dat...

directional felling of trees plays a key role in reducing of damages to forest residual trees and can also facilitate skidding. the aim of this study was presents a practical linear model for estimation of tree falling direction error in an uneven-aged mixed stand in northern forests of iran. to conduct the study a number of 95 trees of four species fagus orientalis lipsky, carpinus betulus l.,...

European hornbeam (Carpinus betulus L.) is a tree species widely distributed in Europe and the Asian part of Near East. However, since not very attractive for commercial purposes, scientific interest this has been rather sparse. Our study focused on dense young (up to 10 years old) stands originating from natural regeneration seeds Slovakia because future importance may increase due climate cha...
