2. Optimizing competitor definitions for the sustainable management of dominant silver fir trees (Abies alba Mill.) in uneven-aged mixed Dinaric forestsMilan Kobal, Tom Levanič, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Understanding competition between trees is essential for sustainable forest management as interactions between trees in uneven-aged mixed forests play a key role in growth dynamics. This study investigated nine competition indices (CIs) for their suitability to model the effects of neighboring trees on silver fir (Abies alba) growth in Dinaric silver fir-European beech (Fagus sylvatica) forests. Although numerous competition indices have been developed, there is still limited consensus on their applicability in different forest types, especially in mature, structurally complex forest stands. The indices were evaluated using the adjusted coefficient of determination in a linear model wherein the volume growth of the last five years for 60 dominant silver fir trees was modeled as a function of tree volume and competition index. The results demonstrated that distance-dependent indices (e.g., the Hegyi height-distance competition and Rouvinen-Kuuluvainen diameter-distance competition indices), which consider the distance to competitors and their size, perform better than distance-independent indices. Using the optimization procedure in calculating the competition indices, only neighboring trees at a distance of up to 26-fold the diameter at breast height (DBH) of the selected tree (optimal search radius) and with a DBH of at least 20% of that of the target tree (optimal DBH) were considered competitors. Therefore, competition significantly influences the growth of dominant silver firs even in older age classes. The model based solely on tree volume explained 32.5% of the variability in volume growth, while the model that accounted for competition explained 64%. Optimizing the optimal search radius had a greater impact on model performance than optimizing the DBH threshold. This emphasizes the importance of balancing stand density and competition in silvicultural practice.

6. No future growth enhancement expected at the Northern edge for European beech due to continued water limitationStefan Klesse, Richard Peters, Raquel Alfaro-Sánchez, Vincent Badeau, Claudia Baittinger, Katarina Čufar, Jožica Gričar, Maks Merela, Peter Prislan, Tom Levanič, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: With ongoing global warming, increasing water deficits promote physiological stress on forest ecosystems with negative impacts on tree growth, vitality, and survival. How individual tree species will react to increased drought stress is therefore a key research question to address for carbon accounting and the development of climate change mitigation strategies. Recent tree-ring studies have shown that trees at higher latitudes will benefit from warmer temperatures, yet this is likely highly species-dependent and less well-known for more temperate tree species. Using a unique pan-European tree-ring network of 26,430 European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) trees from 2118 sites, we applied a linear mixed-effects modeling framework to (i) explain variation in climate-dependent growth and (ii) project growth for the near future (2021–2050) across the entire distribution of beech. We modeled the spatial pattern of radial growth responses to annually varying climate as a function of mean climate conditions (mean annual temperature, mean annual climatic water balance, and continentality). Over the calibration period (1952–2011), the model yielded high regional explanatory power (R2 = 0.38–0.72). Considering a moderate climate change scenario (CMIP6 SSP2-4.5), beech growth is projected to decrease in the future across most of its distribution range. In particular, projected growth decreases by 12%–18% (interquartile range) in northwestern Central Europe and by 11%–21% in the Mediterranean region. In contrast, climate-driven growth increases are limited to around 13% of the current occurrence, where the historical mean annual temperature was below ~6°C. More specifically, the model predicts a 3%–24% growth increase in the high-elevation clusters of the Alps and Carpathian Arc. Notably, we find little potential for future growth increases (−10 to +2%) at the poleward leading edge in southern Scandinavia. Because in this region beech growth is found to be primarily water-limited, a northward shift in its distributional range will be constrained by water availability.

7. Letna in sezonska debelinska rast dreves na ploskvah intenzivnega monitoringa v SlovenijiTom Levanič, Matej Rupel, Andreja Vedenik, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: V okviru intenzivnega monitoringa gozdnih ekosistemov že od leta 2009 s pomočjo ročnih dendrometrov spremljamo de- belinsko priraščanje dreves na letnem nivoju. Gre za dopolnilni podatek o debelinskem priraščanju dreves, ki ga pridobimo v okviru petletnih inventur na ploskvah intenzivnega monitoringa. Letno dinamiko debelinskega priraščanja spremljamo z dvema tipoma ročnih dendrometrov : plastičnimi, nemškega proizvajalca, in nerjavnimi, češkega proizvajalca. S spremljanjem debelinske rasti z ročnimi dendrometri želimo ugotoviti vpliv okoljskih in podnebnih dejavnikov na rast dreves med dvema petletnima inventurama. Tako dobimo bistveno boljše podatke o stanju priraščanja dreves kot s petletnimi inventurami, kjer ekstremni dogodki izginejo v povprečju. V letu 2022 smo dodatno na vse ploskve namestili tudi elektronske dendrometre z visoko frekvenco spremljanja spreminjanja debelinskega prirastka na ploskvah intenzivnega monitoringa v Sloveniji. Z njimi želimo ugotoviti vplive okoljskih in podnebnih dejavnikov na znotraj sezonsko dinamiko debelinskega priraščanja. To je ključno za razumevanje vpliva negativnih podnebnih dejavnikov na debelinsko priraščanje dreves.
