Drought stress elicits many changes in tree fine roots and ectomycorrhizal fungi. Trees cope with drought through avoidance mechanisms or tolerance. Drought can result in changes in colonization by ectomycorrhizal fungi and in the structure of ectomycorrhizal communities. Survival of tree seedlings ...

In the last few years, we recorded some forest tree diseases, that were reported in Slovenia for the first time. In 2018 leaf blotch of Fagus sylvatica caused by Petrakia liobae was first observed. Pathogenicity tests were performed, and we confirmed the pathogenicity of P. liobae towards Fagus...

In urban environment, trees structurally and ecologically add to the quality of urban life and represent an important measure for adapting to the climate change. The article presents the overview of the publications describing urban climate conditions and environmental impacts the trees in urban...

Due to more intense and longer dry periods in the vegetation season, which are also forecasted in recent climate change scenarios for Slovenia, it is very difficult to avoid difficulties in the agricultural production caused by drought stress on agricultural crops. In the last years more...

The conservation status of the habitat type 91E0* Alluvial forests with Alnus glutinosa and Fraxinus excelsior (Alno--Padion, Alnion incanae, Salicion albae) is rather alarming in Slovenia. In Slovenia, its status has been assessed as bad and the trend as negative which implies an additional...

The content and composition of extractives in the wood and bark tissue of black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) were investigated. Wood and bark samples were extracted using a Soxhlet apparatus with acetone. The extracts were gravimetrically examined to measure total hydrophilic extractive...

We provide an overview of the localities of the taxon Plantago atrata s. lat. in Slovenia and report new localities, the most important of which are two in the Bohinj-Tolmin mountains: the valley between Mt. Kaluder and Mt. Konj, and Mt. Rodica - the latter is currently the southernmost locality of ...

The paper reviews the research dealing with the presence of silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) within modern-day Slovenian territory in the Pleistocene and Holocene. The data on paleobotanical remains (Tertiary fossil remains, pollen, macroscopic plant remains) on Paleolithic sites and on genetic...

In view of evident changes in the reaction of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) to environmental changes, five plots with young trees of the same age were established and studied. The beech trees were equally distributed along the light gradient and were divided according to light conditions...

Climatic changes affect minor resistance and vitality of the forest, incidence of natural disturbances increases. In this research we compared efficiency of natural and artificial restoration of forests affected by natural disturbances; the stress was laid on structure and growth of seedlings,...
