Key message
We provided a precise quantitative analysis of the factors at the origin of bark damage during harvesting operations and developed a model able to predict them accurately. The major factors were the distance of trees to skid trails, the intensity of removals, the harvesting system as well as the interactions between the distance of tree...
ContextIt might be possible to establish a new generation of Fraxinus excelsior which is insusceptible towards ash dieback (agent: Hymenoscyphus pseudoalbidus) by efficient breeding. However, a considerable number of highly tolerant individuals which have the ability to pass on this trait to their progeny are needed.AimsThe aim of this study was to...
European ash (Fraxinus excelsior) is threatened
by Hymenoscyphus pseudoalbidus, the agent of ash dieback
disease. Beside ordinary ash dieback symptoms,
collar rots have been reported on declining ashes as an
additional problem of increasing severity. Since 2009, ash
dieback has been surveyed annually in a provenance trial
on four different sites in...
During timber harvest trees of the residual stand may suffer damages through bark lesions. This may happen associated either with felling or transportation processes. Although qualitative information on the causal factors is available, quantitative interdependences between the major factors and the resulting degree of damage are largely unknown so...
Die zentralen Elemente der EU zum Schutz der Europäischen Umwelt sind die Vogelschutzrichtlinie sowie die Fauna-Flora-Habitatrichtlinie (FFH-Richtlinie). Diese Richtlinie soll dazu beitragen, die biologische Vielfalt in den Mitgliedstaaten durch Festlegung eines gemeinsamen Rahmens für die Erhaltung der wildlebenden Pflanzen und Tiere und der Leben...
The assessment of the biological diversity of habitats (plants and animals) in Greek NATURA 2000-areas is a significant basis for the preparation of management plans. In Greece only few research studies exist for a total survey and evaluation of NATURA 2000-forest areas. Due to limited financial resources and the often difficult Greek terrain condi...
