The recent Landscape Plan of Tuscany Region pays particular attention towards the floodplain woods, for their conservation concern, landscape, and historical importance. forest vegetation is defined as natural semi-natural wood located close to rivers submerged only during exceptional flooding. We gathered 180 both published unpublished relevés coming from carried out in where Alnus glutinosa ,...

Plant hydraulic traits are key for understanding and predicting tree drought responses. Information about the degree of traits’ intra-specific variability may guide selection drought-resistant genotypes is crucial trait-based modelling approaches. For three temperate minor broadleaf species Acer platanoides, Carpinus betulus Tilia cordata, we measured xylem embolism resistance (P50), leaf turgo...

Deadwood provides an important carbon source in forests and wooded ecosystems and, accordingly, forest management strategies discuss the enrichment of deadwood amount diversity by different tree species. To investigate decomposition processes enriched deadwood, we simultaneously placed 3,669 size-standardized gamma sterilized wood specimens 13 species ( Populus tremula, Tilia cordata, Prunus av...

In conventional microclimate environment modelling, and the development of tree planning strategies for urban heat mitigation, crown surface albedo any given species is assumed to be a constant. However, our recent research into radiative performance at level implied that changes over time. Based on in-situ spectroscopy protocols established previously measure transflectance, variation in chara...

Seventeen collections of the genus Parasola from Croatia were studied with integrative taxonomic methods. papillatospora is described as a new species, based on morphology and multigene phylogenetic analyses. Its basidiomata growing soil in temperate deciduous forests (Quercus petraea, Fagus sylvatica, Carpinus betulus) two different localities NW Croatia. Based publicly available molecular dat...
