However, the proposal becomes a firm commitment at the COST Action E52 WMCM in Florence (April, 2008), when the Czech Republic representatives undertook to coordinate the work and so ensured this common publication. Financial assistance from the COST Action E52 resources was approved during COST Action E52 WMCM in Rzesow, Poland (October, 2008). During the COST Action E52 WMCM in Sopron, Hungary (October, 2009) the details on the publication were further developed. The editors convey a special thanks to the initiative of Prof. Ladislav Paule (Slovakia), who suggested that contact should also be made with other countries situated in the original natural distribution area of European beech, including some countries with natural occurrence of oriental beech, and to ask them for their collaboration in the project. At the end of this four years process, we would like to express our thanks and appreciation to the Communicationes Instituti Forestalis Bohemicae publication staff, especially to Mgr. Eva Krupičková, Klára Šimerová, Šárka Holzbachová, DiS. and Marta Čížková, DiS. for their forbearance and patience in the preparation work of these proceedings. We would also wish to acknowledge all the authors from the COST Action E52 working group and other authors from various institutions for their timely processing of papers, also to all reviewers for their work and effort which contributed to the completion of this publication at a remarkable level. A special acknowledgment from first two editors belongs to John Fennessy (Ireland) for his support role in the various contributions. Finally we wish to express our grateful thanks to the financial support from the COST Office, too.

Beech is not only of interest for economic reasons. It is also of high ecological and silvicultural value and acts to stabilise forest ecosystems. Beech forests are beneficial for the production of ground water and the regeneration of depleted soils. Beech is a dominating species in many forest ecosystems. Other species of these ecosystems depend on co-existence with beech. Beech is thus viewed as a flagship species of

  • Gene Conservation in European Beech (Fagus Sylvatica L.)
    Bocconea 7 - 1997 367 Gene conservation in European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) Ladislav Paule Abstract Paule, L.: Gene conservation in European beech (Faf!.us sylva/ica L.). - Bocconea 7: 367- 381. 1997. - ISSN 1120-4060. The European beech is one of the mOSl important broadleaved forest lree species in Europe occun'ing in vanous ecological conditions. After the establishment of numerolls provenance experirnents in this species (the last one containing 188 provenances and 23 trials), extensive genetic inventories in most part of ElIrope has been carri ed out. In si/u and ex si/u gene conservation in European beech is olltlined. Introduction The European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) is considered at present as the most common economically important broadleaved tree species in Europe. The extent of beech forests (Fagus sylvatica and F. orientalis together) in Europe andAsia Minor is estimated to be between 17 and 20 million ha (e.g. Milescu & al. 1967 estimate 16.8 million ha) and represents approximately IO % of European forests. The proportions of beech forests in individuaI regions represent frequently up to 30% of the total forest area (e.g the former Yugoslavia, Slovakia, Romania etc.) Both Fagus sylvatica and F. orientalis belong to the forest tre e species with the widest natural range in the western part of Eurasia (Fig. I). F. sylvatica is distributed in western, centrai and southern Europe with individuaI occurrences in southern England and southern Scandinavia. F. orientalis is distributed in Asia Minor, in Caucasus, in the Amanus mountains (Syria), and in the Elburz mountains (Iran). Contact zone between the natural ranges of both species runs in northern Greece and Bulgaria.

Tanaka, [email protected] Abstract: The familial placement of four genera, Mycodidymella, Petrakia, Pseudodidymella, and Xenostigmina, was taxonomically revised based on morphological observations and phylogenetic analyses of nuclear rDNA SSU, LSU, tef1, and rpb2 sequences. ITS sequences were also provided as barcode markers. A total of 130 sequences were newly obtained from 28 isolates which are phylogenetically related to Melanommataceae (Pleosporales, Dothideomycetes) and its relatives. Phylo- genetic analyses and morphological observation of sexual and asexual morphs led to the conclusion that Melanommataceae should be restricted to its type genus Melanomma, which is characterised by ascomata composed of a well-developed, carbonaceous peridium, and an aposphaeria-like coelomycetous asexual morph. Although Mycodidymella, Petrakia, Pseudodidymella, and Xenostigmina are phylogenetically related to Melanommataceae, these genera are characterised by epi- phyllous, lenticular ascomata with well-developed basal stroma in their sexual morphs, and mycopappus-like propagules in their asexual morphs, which are clearly different from those of Melanomma.

Schneid.] was known as a botanical abnormality in botanical gardens and arboretums. Widespread artificially, red beech trees have been exploited for cultural, landscaping and botanical purposes, showing a wide horticultural, silvicultural and arboricultural interest. Over time, they may have escaped from cultivations or have been incorporated into forests by secondary successions, showing an important ecological and forestry interest. Red beeches represent a complex of phenotypes described under systematic critical taxa, showing an important floristic and taxonomic interest. Samples of red beech were found in nature, in central Adriatic Italy, in a fully protected area, namely the “Riserva Naturale Statale Montagna di Torricchio”. In order to analyse the origin of this odd shape beech variation, an interdisciplinary study was carried out integrating geography, ecology and forestry, analysing the bibliography, archival data, leaf traits, potential vegetation and the issues concerning the human-ecology relation. The results we obtained showed no evidence of artificial or accidental introduction for these specimens, suggesting treating them as a native and natural mutation in the beech forest secondary succession.

  • System for Satellite-Based Classification of Plant
    ecologies Article Genus-Physiognomy-Ecosystem (GPE) System for Satellite-Based Classification of Plant Communities Ram C. Sharma Department of Informatics, Tokyo University of Information Sciences, 4-1 Onaridai, Wakaba, Chiba 265-8501, Japan; [email protected]; Tel.: +81-43-236-4603 Abstract: Vegetation mapping and monitoring is important as the composition and distribution of vegetation has been greatly influenced by land use change and the interaction of land use change and climate change. The purpose of vegetation mapping is to discover the extent and distribution of plant communities within a geographical area of interest. The paper introduces the Genus-Physiognomy- Ecosystem (GPE) system for the organization of plant communities from the perspective of satellite remote sensing. It was conceived for broadscale operational vegetation mapping by organizing plant communities according to shared genus and physiognomy/ecosystem inferences, and it offers an intermediate level between the physiognomy/ecosystem and dominant species for the organi- zation of plant communities. A machine learning and cross-validation approach was employed by utilizing multi-temporal Landsat 8 satellite images on a regional scale for the classification of plant communities at three hierarchical levels: (i) physiognomy, (ii) GPE, and (iii) dominant species. The classification at the dominant species level showed many misclassifications and undermined its application for broadscale operational mapping, whereas the GPE system was able to lessen the complexities associated with the dominant species level classification while still being capable of distinguishing a wider variety of plant communities. The GPE system therefore provides an easy-to-understand approach for the operational mapping of plant communities, particularly on a Citation: Sharma, R.C.

Circular sampling plots of 1000 m2 occupied by advance growth and natural regeneration were randomly chosen where the initial cuttings (with shelterwood aim) were performed. Abundance of species at different growth stages and quality of seedlings and saplings were registered and basal area and standing volume determined. The measurements were carried out before the first shelterwood cutting (in 1974) and after the last shelterwood cutting (2004). The results after 30 years (in 2004) revealed that frequency, basal area and standing volume significantly enhanced for beech and reduced for hornbeam but did not statistically differ for alder, maple and other species. Sapling and thicket groups were observed in parts of the investigated site and where the mature trees were not felled. Generally, the research area was converted into an irregular uneven-aged 2-4-storied forest, owing to recruits, advance regeneration, aged trees and small and large pole groups maintained through the forest.

  • Is There a Future for the Isolated Oriental Beech (Fagus Orientalis Lipsky) Forests in Southern Turkey?
    Acta Silv. Lign. Hung., Vol. 6 (2010) 111-114 Is there a Future for the Isolated Oriental Beech (Fagus orientalis Lipsky) Forests in Southern Turkey? Mustafa Y ILMAZ * KSÜ Orman Fakültesi, Kahramanmara ş, Turkey, Abstract – Oriental beech ( Fagus orientalis Lipsky) is mainly found in the northern region of Turkey. There is also an approximate 40,000 ha of isolated relict oriental beech forest in southern Turkey. This relict population differs somewhat from the northern distribution in terms of average altitudinal distribution, health conditions, and reactions to climate change. Beech forest distribution in southern Turkey starts at about 1000 m, contrary to the northern distribution, which begins at about 150-200 m. In southern Turkey, the average temperature is higher, and summer drought occurs due to irregular rainfall. Beech trees in the south decay at earlier ages due to their sprout origins and higher temperatures than in the north. In recent decades, some part of the beech forests have shed leaves during the summer in response to severe drought. Therefore, these relict populations are on the verge of extinction under unfavorable conditions. Fagus orientalis / Eastern Mediterranean / relict distribution / in situ conservation 1 INTRODUCTION Oriental beech ( Fagus orientalis Lipsky) is one of the major tree species in Turkey. Most of the beech forests are distributed in the northern region of Turkey. In contrast, relict oriental beech forests are distributed in the Eastern Mediterranean region of Turkey, including the Adana, Osmaniye, Hatay, and Kahramanmara ş provinces. Beech trees in this region are coppiced and, therefore, are susceptible to decay at the stump. It is well known that global climate change strongly impacts plant distribution and survival.

Despite its widespread presence among flowering plants, its function 4 has been only studied in a handful of species and the molecules involved in pollen tube-obturator 5 crosstalk have not been explored hitherto. This work evaluates the involvement of glucans and 6 glycoproteins on pollen tube growth in the obturator of apple flowers (Malus x domestica). 7 Methods Pollen tube kinetics was sequentially examined in the pistil and related to changes 8 occurring on the obturator using histochemistry and inmunocytochemistry. To discriminate 9 between changes in the obturator induced by pollen tubes from those developmentally regulated, 10 both pollinated and unpollinated pistils were examined.

  • Fagus Sylvatica Fagus Sylvatica, the European Beech Or Common Beech, Is a Deciduous Tree Belonging to the Beech Family Fagaceae
    Fagus sylvatica Fagus sylvatica, the European beech or common beech, is a deciduous tree belonging to the beech family Fagaceae. Fagus sylvatica is a large tree, capable of reaching heights of up to 50 m (160 ft) tall and 3 m (9.8 ft) trunk diameter, though more typically 25–35 m (82–115 ft) tall and up to 1.5 m (4.9 ft) trunk diameter. A 10-year-old sapling will stand about 4 m (13 ft) tall. It has a typical lifespan of 150–200 years, though sometimes up to 300 years. In cultivated forest stands trees are normally harvested at 80–120 years of age. 30 years are needed to attain full maturity (as compared to 40 for American beech). Like most trees, its form depends on the location: in forest areas, F. sylvatica grows to over 30 m (100 ft), with branches being high up on the trunk. In open locations, it will become much shorter (typically 15–24 m (50–80 ft)) and more massive. The leaves are alternate, simple, and entire or with a slightly crenate margin. When crenate, there is one point at each vein tip, never any points between the veins. The buds are long and slender, but thicker (to 4–5 mm (0.16–0.20 in)) where the buds include flower buds. The leaves of beech are often not abscissed in the autumn and instead remain on the tree until the spring. This process is called marcescence. This particularly occurs when trees are saplings or when plants are clipped as a hedge (making beech hedges attractive screens, even in winter), but it also often continues to occur on the lower branches when the tree is mature.

Box 116-13185, Tehran, Iran e-mail: [email protected] " Faculty of Forestry, Technical University, SK-96053 Zvolen, Slovakia 3' Biology Department, Faculty of Science, University of Teachers Education, Tehran, Iran Received May 27, 2002; accepted December 30, 2002 ABSTRACT Genetic variation of Fagus orientalis Lipsky was investigated in 14 populations of Hyrcanian forests in the North of Iran. Within populations, average for the proportion of polymorphic loci (95 % criterion), the number of alleles per locus, effective number of alleles, the mean expected and observed heterozygosities were 100, 3.3, 1.341,0.191,0.174, respectively. Overall, 30 rare alleles (frequency less than 5 %) were detected. The present study reveals significant allelic frequency differences between populations with a small absolute genetic differentiation with no pattern related to geographic distance.
