In this work the multi-factor, non-linear dependencies between main (tangential) FC and normal (radial) FN cutting forces upon two machining parameters by up-routing and down-routing wood of Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) and Oak (Quercus petraea) were evaluated. The relationships are graphically illustrated and discussed. The obtained data were compared with cutting forces evolution model...

Provenance-specific growth responses to experimentally applied drought and air warming were studied in saplings of three European oak species: Quercus robur, Quercus petraea and Quercus pubescens. Four provenances of each species were grown in large open-top chambers and subjected to four climates: control, periodic drought, air warming or their combination in 3 subsequent years. Overall growth...

Although numerous species distribution models have been developed, most were based on insufficient distribution data or used older climate change scenarios. We aimed to quantify changes in projected ranges and threat level by the years 2061-2080, for 12 European forest tree species under three climate change scenarios. We combined tree distribution data from the Global Biodiversity Information ...

Ailanthus altissima is an invasive alien species in Europe. Biological control of this tree by Verticillium nonalfalfae a potential alternative approach. This study investigates host specificity, pathogenicity and transmission V. to neighbouring plants with root contact mini-ecosystems. led dieback all inoculated trees. Furthermore, was transmitted trees, causing wilt dieback, and, one case, Qu...
