Against the backdrop of global change, intensity, duration, and frequency droughts are projected to increase threaten forest ecosystems worldwide. Tree responses drought complex likely vary among species, characteristics, site conditions. Here, we examined response patterns three major temperate tree s. fir (Abies alba), E. beech (Fagus sylvatica), N. spruce (Picea abies), along an ecological gradient in South - Central East part Germany that included a total 37 sites with varying climatic...
During the summer of 2022, an acute drought once more afflicted central and southern Europe. This marked third episode (after 2015 2018) severe aridity in large parts Germany within last decade, leading to increased soil water depletion. Consequently, from July 2022 onward, European beech trees (Fagus sylvatica L.) exhibited early withering pronounced premature defoliation. Nevertheless, crown defoliation substantial variation among same forest stands, prompting questions regarding causal...
The effects of climate change are becoming increasingly visible and affect entire ecosystems their services. Following more frequent dry years the invasive spread harmful organisms, interest in drought- frost-tolerant alternative tree species forestry practices is growing. two cedar species, Atlas Lebanon discussed as possible Bavaria Germany due to high tolerance (drought frost), wood quality potential be integrated into local forests. Both can contribute stability weakened spruce pine...
Abstract Common ash ( Fraxinus excelsior L.) has been considered an important candidate species for climate-resilient forest management in Germany. The occurrence of dieback, caused by the invasive fungus Hymenoscyphus fraxineus , severely limits its use. However, less damaged trees heavily infested stands are observed. This suggests a tree-specific and genetically determined susceptibility to dieback. potential individual selection conservation programs investigated on 35 clones clonal...
European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) is the most important tree species in Central Europe and considered to be relatively resistant climate warming. However, dry summers last five years led considerable damage stands Southern Germany (SG). Assisted migration of drought provenances including those Oriental orientalis Lipsky) may help stabilise forests under change. The focus this study compare climatic ranges F. using quantile distribution variables based on WorldClim data at forest sites...
Aim of study: Detecting possible small-scale soil effects on height growth single trees in monospecific stands three important tree species (Abies alba, Fagus sylvatica, and Picea abies). Area 37 mature along an ecological gradient Southern Germany from the cold wet “optimal niche zone” to warmer drier zones, including gravelly soils with poor water supply. Material methods: Measurement achieved age 15 20 sample per stand. Estimation available capacity (AWC) close proximity based texture...
Climate change will affect all ecosystem services of green areas in the districts. In many cases, tree species parks and districts are suffering from increasingly warmer drier summers newly immigrated pests diseases. Tilia tomentosa Moench. is considered as an important under climate for dry warm conditions Central Southeastern Europe countries. This often used valued urban tree. present study we investigate growth patterns T. relation to their growing order evaluate its interactions...
Genetska raznolikost je osnova za prilagodbu i opstanak vrsta drveća u promjenjivim uvjetima okoline te predstavlja ključni uvjet stabilnosti produktivnosti šumskih ekosustava. Predmet ovog istraživanja su glavne marginalne populacije libanonskog cedra ( Cedrus libani A. Rich.) zbog njihove važnosti očuvanju gena. Procjena genetske varijabilnosti izoliranim populacijama od velike programe očuvanja poboljšanja. U djelovanja globalnih klimatskih promjena mogu posjedovati genotipove budućeg...
Abstract Current climate change species response models usually not include evolution. We integrated remote sensing with population genomics to improve phenotypic prediction drought stress in the key forest tree European beech ( Fagus sylvatica L.). used whole-genome sequencing of pooled DNA from natural stands along an ecological gradient humid-cold warm-dry climate. phenotyped for leaf area index (LAI) and moisture (MSI) period 2016-2022. predicted this data matching meteorological a newly...
Corylus colurna is considered as important tree species under climate change for dry and warm conditions in Central Europe was overused because of its valuable wood. Therefore Turkish hazel now present only small isolated populations protected IUCN. Genetic conservation this plays a key role future sustainable forest development. co-occurs with Common (C. avellana) whole distribution area may form hybrids. To differentiate between the pure their hybrids, cross-species amplifying markers are...
Abstract Douglas-fir ( Pseudotsuga menziesii ) is a conifer tree native to western North America. In central Europe, it shows superior growth performance and considered suitable substitute for species impaired in vitality due climate change. Maintenance improvement of changing environment main challenge forest breeders. this context, genetic variation as factor underlying phenotypic variation, but also the basis future adaptation, particular interest. The aims study were analyse (i)...
Central European populations of silver fir ( Abies alba Mill.) grow under a relatively wide amplitude environmental conditions. Assuming that forest tree stands are locally adapted, the use reproductive material from sites with limited water availability is expected to increase drought tolerance in future forests. At same time, genetic diversity utmost importance as basis adaptation changing environment. Currently, selection potential sources for climate-smart way Southern Germany. It based...
