In many plants, especially trees from the temperate mid-latitudes, the number of seeds they produce varies dramatically year on year, known as masting. A large European beech tree can produce hundreds ...

A new long-term study reveals alarming insights into the impact of climate change on the European beech (Fagus sylvatica), one of Europe's most widespread and ecologically important tree species.

A new study has found that the summer solstice acts as a 'starting gun' to synchronize beech tree reproduction across vast distances in Europe, affecting ecosystem functions. A new study published in ...
