Abstract:
... Based on allometric relationships and information provided in forest management plans, we determined aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) for a 10-year period in a Mediterranean beech forest (Fagus moesiaca Cz.) extending across an elevation gradient. The ANPP ranged from 1.87 to 15.71 Mg ha(-1) year(-1), and leaf area index (L*) ranged from 2.3 to 3.6. Although small trees (diameter at bre ...

Airborne pollen grains of Castanea, Fagus and Quercus were collected from 1990 to 2003 using a Hirst type spore trap. The main pollen season (MPS) takes place in April and May for Quercus and Fagus, in June and July for Castanea. The highest values occur in year 1993 for Querc ...

Abstract:
... Rankings of species-specific juvenile tree growth and survivorship define competitive hierarchies that play a central role in forest dynamics and may also vary in response to herbivory. We conducted an experiment to examine species-specific rankings of sapling growth and survival for six common tree species in temperate forests of the northeastern US as a function of both resource availability and ...

Abstract:
... At seven forest site classes with pine, spruce, oak or beech stands the heavy metal contents of the trees were determined. The element contents differed substantially among tree species, tree compartments and forest sites. The amount of heavy metal content depended very little on tree species but mostly on the degree of pollutant inputs. For example, all tree components had high levels of heavy me ...

It was found to completely decolorize and degrade 10% daunomycin post-production effluent during 10 days of incubation at 26°C. Strain R59 produced only low levels of ligninolytic enzymes when grown on wheat straw- or beech sawdust-containing media, but in the presence of humic acid ...

Abstract:
... Wildfires are very rare in central Europe, which is probably why fire effects on vegetation have been neglected by most central European ecologists and palaeoecologists. Presently, reconstructions of fire history and fire ecology are almost absent. We analysed sediment cores from lakes on the Swiss Plateau (Lobsigensee and Soppensee) for pollen and charcoal to investigate the relationship between ...

Abstract:
... In beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), the number of leaf primordia preformed in the buds determines the length and the type (long versus short) of annual growth units, and thus, branch growth and architecture. We analyzed the correlation between the number of leaf primordia and the hydraulic conductance of the vascular system connected to the buds. Terminal buds of short growth units and axillary buds of ...
