European beech (Fagus sylvatica) is the dominant tree species of Central Europe's natural
forests and one of the continent's most important timber species. This highly competitive …

Carbohydrates provide the building blocks for plant structures as well as versatile resources
for metabolic processes. The nonstructural carbohydrates (NSC), mainly sugars and starch …

Although numerous species distribution models have been developed, most were based on
insufficient distribution data or used older climate change scenarios. We aimed to quantify …

Plants often encounter unfavorable environmental conditions because of their sessile
lifestyle. These adverse factors greatly affect the geographic distribution of plants, as well as …

Terpenoids comprise tens of thousands of small molecule natural products that are widely
distributed across all domains of life. Plants produce by far the largest array of terpenoids …

The market for durable products using modified wood has increased substantially during the
last few years. This is partly because of the restriction on the use of toxic preservatives due …

Climate change can reduce surface-water supply by enhancing evapotranspiration in
forested mountains, especially during heatwaves. We investigate this 'drought paradox'for …

Future anthropogenic-induced changes to the earth's climate will likely include increases in
temperature and changes in precipitation that will increase the frequency and severity of …

Plant cells biosynthesize primary cell walls (PCW) in all cells and produce secondary cell
walls (SCWs) in specific cell types that conduct water and/or provide mechanical support …

Forest mensuration–the science of measurement applied to forest vegetation and forest
products–holds value for basic ecology as well as sustainable forest management. As …
