Forest Genetic Resources and Forest Reproductive Material at the cross-section of multiple policy domains in Europe: Example of policy transposition in selected European countries Open
Various global initiatives, such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Global Biodiversity Framework, and Green Deal policies, now demand transformative actions to meet biodiversity and climate targets. Forests remain in the mid…
View article: How beech provenance affects the structure of secondary xylem, leaf traits, and the ectomycorrhizal community under optimal growth conditions
How beech provenance affects the structure of secondary xylem, leaf traits, and the ectomycorrhizal community under optimal growth conditions Open
Key message Provenance controls conductive area of stem secondary xylem, leaf area, and stable isotope (C, N, and O) ratios of beech leaves, while no significant effects were observed for ectomycorrhizal community composition. Abstract Bey…

European genetic resources conservation in a rapidly changing world: three existential challenges for the crop, forest and animal domains in the 21st century Open
Even though genetic resources represent a fundamental reservoir of options to achieve sustainable development goals in a changing world, they are overlooked in the policy agenda and severely threatened. The conservation of genetic resource…
View article: Different patterns of inter-annual variability in mean vessel area and tree-ring widths of beech from provenance trials in Slovenia and Hungary
Different patterns of inter-annual variability in mean vessel area and tree-ring widths of beech from provenance trials in Slovenia and Hungary Open
Key message Studied beech provenances showed different patterns of inter-annual variability in mean vessel area and ring widths, indicating influence of intraspecific variability and diverse environment on hydraulic conductivity and carbon…

Low but significant evolutionary potential for growth, phenology and reproduction traits in European beech Open
Local survival of forest tree populations under climate change depends on existing genetic variation and their adaptability to changing environments. Responses to selection were studied in European beech ( Fagus sylvatica ) under field con…

Buckwheat Milling Waste Effects on Root Morphology and Mycorrhization of Silver Fir Seedlings Inoculated with Black Summer Truffle (Tuber aestivum Vittad.) Open
Large amounts of buckwheat waste are generated annually by the industry and are used in several different ways. To date, there has been little research regarding its suitability as a medium for growing seedlings in nurseries. The aim of th…

Ectomycorrhizal fungal community in mature white poplar plantation Open
Ectomycorrhizal communities are rarely studied on seasonal basis, especially in poplar plantations. In this study we analysed the ectomycorrhizal community in a mature twenty-year-old white poplar (Populus alba L.) plantation during four c…
View article: Potential Link between Ectomycorrhizal Community Composition and Host Tree Phenology
Potential Link between Ectomycorrhizal Community Composition and Host Tree Phenology Open
The timing of leaf phenology tends to be crucial in controlling ecosystem processes such as the acquisition of carbon and water loss as well as in controlling tree nutrient cycling. To date, tree phenology has mostly been associated with e…
