The aluminum (Al) cation Al 3+ is highly rhizotoxic and is a major stress factor to plants on
acid soils, which cover large areas of tropical and boreal regions. Many woody plant species …

An improved identification of the environmental variables that can be used to predict the
content of soil organic carbon (SOC) stored belowground is required to reduce uncertainties …

Mankind expects from forests and forest soils benefits like pure drinking water, space for
recreation, habitats for nature-near biocenoses and the production of timber as unrivaled …

Testing how populations are locally adapted and predicting their response to their future
environment is of key importance in view of climate change. Landscape genomics is a …

Soil properties can buffer forest response to global climate change. However, it is unclear
how soil characteristics, water availability and their interactions can affect drought response …

Abstract Knowledge of the ecological requirements determining tree species distributions is
a precondition for sustainable forest management. At present, the abiotic requirements and …

This account presents information on all aspects of the biology of Fraxinus excelsior L.(Ash)
that are relevant to understanding its ecological characteristics and behaviour. The main …

Ecologically meaningful predictors are often neglected in plant distribution studies, resulting
in incomplete niche quantification and low predictive power of species distribution models …

Map 1: Plot distribution and simplified chorology map for Fagus sylvatica. Frequency of
Fagus sylvatica occurrences within the field observations as reported by the National Forest …

We determined the size of differences in stand and tree growth in semi-natural forests with
respect to 16 reference soil groups. The forest area of Slovenia (11.8 thousand km 2) was …
