The development of uneven-aged forest management in the Dinaric region (north-west
Balkans) is reviewed. Uneven-aged silviculture has been the major silvicultural system in …

Ecosystem services (ES) from mountain forests are highly relevant for human societies. ES
with a direct economic support function (eg timber production), regulatory services (eg …

Climate scenarios for Slovenia suggest an increase in the mean annual temperature by 2° C
over the next six decades, associated with changes in the seasonal distribution of …

We analyzed the leaf phenology of European beech (Fagus sylvatica) and its variation due
to spatial and temporal climatic variability, using a modified data set of the phenological …

The aim of this study was to determine how the crown and root architecture of beech trees
control stemflow formation, stemflow infiltration, and the subsurface transport of stemflow …

Silver fir decline was investigated based on changes in spatial distribution of fir, fir
abundance in forest stands, dbh (age) structure of fir, and abundance of fir regeneration. The …

Montane forests of silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) and European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) in the
Dinaric region are the largest continuous forest area in Central Europe, where silver fir's …

Recent studies show that several tree species are spreading to higher latitudes and
elevations due to climate change. European beech, presently dominating from the colline to …

The potential utilisation of natural regeneration of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) for
forest conversion has received little attention to date. Ecological knowledge is necessary to …

We investigated the dynamics of xylem differentiation processes and vessel characteristics
in Fagus sylvatica L. to evaluate the plasticity of xylem structures under different …
