The tree seed mycobiome has received little attention despite its potential role in forest regeneration and health. aim of the present study was to analyze processes shaping composition fungal communities natural forests as seeds transition from mother plant ground for establishment. We used metabarcoding approaches confocal microscopy collected canopy on four populations sessile oak (Quercus p...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Litter is a key factor in structuring plant populations, through positive or negative interactions. The litter layer forms a mechanical barrier that is often strongly selective against individuals lacking hypocotyle plasticity. Litter composition also interacts with plant growth by providing beneficial nutrients or, inversely, by allowing harmful allelopathic leaching. As co...

Állományalkotó fafajaink genetikai állományban fellelhetőek az alkalmazkodási folyamatok lenyomatai, amelyek fontos ismereteket szolgáltathatnak a klímaadaptációt segítő erdőművelési stratégiák meghatározásához. Jelen kutatásunk során 18 közép- és délkelet-európai kocsánytalan tölgy [Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl.] populáció egyedeiben kimutatott SNP-k (egypontos nukleotid eltérések) zárvatermő...

Studies conducted in recent years have demonstrated high application potential of thermal remote sensing data environmental analyses. The main goal our studies was to determine the variability tree canopy temperatures using a new sensor which acquires still rarely used spectral range (3.6–4.9 μm). This study on five selected species growing forest and outside forest: Alnus glutinosa, Pinus sylv...

The degree to which plant pathogen infestation occurs in a host plant is expected to be strongly influenced by the level of species diversity among neighbouring host and non-host plant species. Since pathogen infestation can negatively affect host plant performance, it can mediate the effects of local biodiversity on ecosystem functioning.We tested the effects of tree diversity and the proporti...
