Forest vegetation in western Romania in relation to climate variables: Does community composition reflect modelled tree species distribution?

Forest vegetation in western Romania in relation to climate variables: Does community composition reflect modelled tree species distribution?

European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) is the prevailing tree species of mesic forests in Central Europe. Increasing summer temperatures and decreasing precipitation, as climate change scenarios predict, may, however, negatively influence beech growth and induce a shift to more thermophilous forest com...
