Evaluating the drought tolerance of five native broadleaf tree species using dendroecological analysis in East Central Europe Open
Climate change is placing stress on forests, making silvicultural planning more challenging in many temperate regions. Since some major tree species are prone to drought, there is an increasing interest in selecting native broadleaf minor …

Qualitative and Quantitative Changes in Soil Organic Compounds in Central European Oak Forests with Different Annual Average Precipitation Open
The various climate scenarios consistently predict warming and drying of forests in Hungary. Soils play a significant role in the long-term sequestration of atmospheric CO2, while in other cases they can also become net carbon emitters. Th…
