  • Fagus Sylvatica (Common Beech)
    Fagus sylvatica Common Beech Fagus sylvatica is a large deciduous tree with smooth grey bark and a broad, spreading crown, leaves are corrugated, broadly elliptic, changing colour from yellow-green in spring, to a rich copper-russet in autumn. Few plants, except fungi, will survive under it due to the close spacing of its foliage which casts a dense shade in the summer. Flowers are small and green which are followed by a bristly fruit called beech mast which are popular with a variety of wildlife. It makes a superb hedge/ screen as its dense green foliage holds well and often the brown leaves of autumn will hang onto the branches until new foliage emerges giving year round screening. The tree is a good choice for woodland or parkland planting. Container Grown Fagus Sylvatica 5/6m Plant Profile Name: Fagus sylvatica Common Name: Common Beech Family: Fagaceae Height: Up to 30 metres Width: Wider than 15 metres Demands: Full Sun / Partial shade Hardy: Sun, frost, and wind resilient Soil: Chalk, Clay, Sand or Loam Foliage: Deciduous (Yellow/Green in Spring, Green in Summer and Russet Brown in Autumn) Fagus sylvatica - Instant Hedging 250 x 60 x 60 Deepdale Trees Ltd., Tithe Farm, Hatley Road, Potton, Sandy, Beds.

  • Symposium on the Gray Squirrel
    SYMPOSIUM ON THE GRAY SQUIRREL INTRODUCTION This symposium is an innovation in the regional meetings of professional game and fish personnel. When I was asked to serve as chairman of the Technical Game Sessions of the 13th Annual Conference of the Southeastern Association of Game and Fish Commissioners this seemed to be an excellent opportunity to collect most of the people who have done some research on the gray squirrel to exchange information and ideas and to summarize some of this work for the benefit of game managers and other biologists. Many of these people were not from the southeast and surprisingly not one of the panel mem­ bers is presenting a general resume of one aspect of squirrel biology with which he is most familiar. The gray squirrel is also important in Great Britain but because it causes extensive damage to forests. Much work has been done over there by Monica Shorten (Mrs. Vizoso) and a symposium on the gray squirrel would not be complete without her presence. A grant from the National Science Foundation through the American Institute of Biological Sciences made it possible to bring Mrs. Vizoso here. It is hoped that this symposium will set a precedent for other symposia at future wildlife conferences. VAGN FLYGER.

  • The Entomofauna on the Leaves of Two Forest Species, Fagus Sylvatica and Corylus Avelana, in Menoikio Mountain of Serres
    ENTOMOLOGIA HELLENICA 23 (2014): 65-73 The entomofauna on the leaves of two forest species, Fagus sylvatica and Corylus avelana, in Menoikio Mountain of Serres M.G. STOIKOU AND P.P. KARANIKOLA* Laboratory of Forest Protection, Department of Forestry and Environmental Management and Natural Resources, Democritus University of Thrace, 193 Pantazidou str., Orestiada ABSTRACT The insect species composition and their abundance were investigated on the leaves of beech (Fagus sylvatica, Fagaceae) and hazel trees (Corylus avelana, Betulaceae) in the mixed forest located in Menoikio Mountain of Serres. For that purpose from April to June 2011 leaves were collected from the two forest species at weekly intervals and the insects found were reared in the laboratory under outdoor conditions and checked every day till their pupation and adult emergence. A total of 27 insect species was recorded. These insects belonged to seven orders. Fifteen Coleoptera species, 4 Hemiptera species, 3 of Lepidoptera species, 2 of Hymenoptera species and 1 species to the orders Diptera, Neuroptera, and Ephemeroptera were found. The results disclose that the number of insect species found on leaves of hazel trees was fewer than the insect species on beech trees. On hazel trees the population of Lymantria dispar (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) was much higher than in beech trees. The species of Coleoptera collected from hazel trees were Phyllobius pyri (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), Rhynchaenus populi (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) and Agiotes acuminatus (Coleoptera: Elateridae). In beech trees the insect species found more frequently were Rhynchaenus fagi (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), Phyllobius pyri (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) and Anobium punctatum (Coleoptera: Anobiidae). The largest population of insects was observed at the end of spring, because the life cycle of the foliage insects were synchronized with leaf- flushing of the foliage.

  • 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.

DOI:10.15835/nbha47311583 Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca Original Article The Red Beech at the “Montagna di Torricchio”, Marche Region, Central Italy Kevin CIANFAGLIONE 1,2 *, Franco PEDROTTI 1 1University of Camerino, School of Biosciences and Veterinary Medicine, Camerino (MC), Italy; [email protected] (*corresponding author); [email protected] 2Université de Bretagne Occidentale, EA 7462-Geoarchitecture, Brest, France Abstract For many centuries, red beech [( Fagus sylvatica L. var. purpurea (Ait.) 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.

    Technical guidelines for genetic conservation and use European beech Fagus sylvatica Fagus sylvatica Fagus sylvatica Georg von Wühlisch Federal Research Institute for Rural Areas, Forestry and Fisheries, EUFORGEN Institute for Forest Genetics, Germany These Technical Guidelines are intended to assist those who cherish the valuable European beech genepool and its inheritance, through conserving valuable seed sources or use in practical forestry. The focus is on conserving the genetic diversity of the species at the European scale. The recommendations provided in this module should be regarded as a commonly agreed basis to be complemented and further developed in local, national or regional conditions. The Guidelines are based on the available knowledge of the species and on widely accepted methods for the conservation of forest genetic resources.

We studied nine European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) provenances located in two provenance trial plots with contrasting climates in Central Europe. Stomata play a vital role in the water balance of plants by regulating gaseous exchanges between plants and the atmosphere. Therefore, to explain the possible adaptation and acclimation of provenances to climate conditions, stomatal (stomatal density, the length of guard cells, and the potential conductance index) and leaf morphological traits (leaf size, leaf dry weight and specific leaf area) were assessed. The phenotypic plasticity index was calculated from the variability of provenances’ stomatal and leaf traits between the provenance plots.
