The largest number (79 total) was noted Quercus robur wood,which c...

The current research focuses on the investigation of shrubland vegetation in Dragoman municipality. study is motivated by willingness authors to check habitats’ territorial extent and their importance ecosystem processes, following increased degree succession over last three decades. On other hand, governmental subsidizing has been common for decade, leading a clearance lands with shr...

The tree species composition (TSC) reflects a forest's diversity and is relevant for forest planning, biodiversity conservation, resources management. Yet, accurate information on at landscape scale largely missing, especially mixed forests remote areas. One reason being that mapping time-consuming, costly, in Here we develop robust method TSC temperate forest. Based inventory plots considering...

Abstract Invasive fungal pathogens are an increasing problem globally and can cause strong effects on forest ecosystems. In this study, we contrast vegetation surveys in eutrophic elm ( Ulmus glabra ) ash Fraxinus excelsior forests southern Sweden, conducted just prior to the arrival of Dutch disease (DED) 1989, then again 2021, several years after dieback (ADB) began. At sample plot scale, spe...

Abstract Proper estimation of the herb layer annual net primary production (ANPP) can help to appreciate role this in carbon assimilation and nutrient cycling. Simple methods ANPP often understate its value. More accurate take into account biomass increments individual species but are more laborious. We conducted our study an oak-hornbeam forest (site area 12 ha) dominated by beech NW Poland du...

Forests dominated by oak, beech, hornbeam, and boreal conifers are characterized by resource pulses. Contemporary eastern U.S. oak forests may exhibit dramatic resource pulses in part because of the loss of American chestnut, which comprised 25–50% of the canopy throughout its range. Chestnut loss may have reduced mast resources for wildlife. A newly developed, blight-resistant hybrid makes rei...
