Abstract Key message Beech and pine respond differently to climate change. June precipitation is of particular influence for beech, February/March temperature pine. Climate warming exposes forests increasing abiotic stress, demanding difficult silvicultural decisions about the right choice future timber species. Scots ( Pinus sylvestris ) European beech Fagus sylvatica are major species in Nort...

Abstract The potential utilisation of natural regeneration European beech ( Fagus sylvatica L.) for forest conversion has received little attention to date. Ecological knowledge is necessary understand and predict successful beech. objective this study was improve understanding what drives the occurrence and, once present, its density. In study, we utilised a inventory dataset provided by Sachs...

In the context of climate change, it remains unclear whether mixed-species forests will help mitigate impacts future droughts and, if so, through which processes. As European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) is one major species, crucial to evaluate its response drought when mixed with species contrasted functional traits and in climatic conditions, particularly at limit range. This study aimed (i) c...

The cost of raw materials has a major role in the wood industry. From this point view, it is necessary to pay attention correct log-sawing pattern, which will optimize sawing process and increase quantity quality material as well. For measurements, we used beech (Fagus sylvatica L.). Beech L.) most common species Slovak Republic; total amount forests 34.8%. high frequency defects, such red fals...

The aim of the present paper is to assess non-destructive indicating properties Slovenian beech (Fagus sylvatica) logs and correlate them with mechanical final product, which boards. Beech were visually graded according standard procedure vibrational frequencies measured. Logs further on sawn into boards also non-destructively tested in wet dry conditions. Finally, experimentally tension. Speci...

The wide distribution of the common beech (Fagus sylvatica) in Europe reveals its great adaptation to diverse conditions temperature and humidity. This interesting aspect explains context main objective this work: carry out a dendroclimatic analysis species Fagus sylvatica Polaciones valley (Cantabria), an area transition with environmental from characteristic Atlantic type more Mediterranean, ...
