“…The range of soil types in the studied Q. robur stands indicates a fairly wide edaphic niche, as is typical in its range (Jones, 1959). The large amount of variation in the vegetation data set explained by soil factors indicates that, to a large degree, edaphic conditions in the Q. robur stands formed a template for determining the species that could establish in the understory.…”

“…Although these offer little shelter, they do provide alternative food resources when mast is scarce. Oak and beech produce seed crops which vary greatly from year to year (Newbold & Goldsmith, 1981;Worrel & Nixon, 1991), the frequency of seeding decreasing with increasing latitude, elevation and oceanity, and therefore fluctuations in mast availability can be complex (Jones, 1959;Matthews, 1963). Generally good years for oak occur every two to four years and for beech once every five to 10 years (Newbold & Goldsmith, 1981).…”

The feasibility of reintroducing Wild Boar Sus scrofa to Scotland was investigated using the predictions of a Geographical information System (GIS) and a Population Viability Analysis (PVA). In the first stage of this study we summarized information from published literature on the biology, habitat requirements, home range use and population densities of Wild Boar, and using a GIS we identified four suitable sites of significant size, all located in Highlands. In the second stage we used a Population Viability Analysis (RAMAS/age), parameterized with published information on survival and fecundity of European Wild Boar populations, to calculate the number of animals required in a 'release population' if it were to survive on average 50 years. At the two largest sites that we considered, a release population of 50 animals would be likely to produce a viable population. The study concluded that biologically, the reintroduction of the Wild Boar is possible. However, a complementary study examining both the environmental and the potential wider ecological and socio-economic impacts of Wild Boar will be required before reintroduction is seriously considered.

“…Frost damage can appear in three forms: early frost (autumn), winter frost (winter) and late frost (spring) (Chaar & Colin, 1999). In common oak species, the impact of late frost is more common than winter frost (Jones, 1959). By increasing global warming and weather instability, the risk of the late frost increased (Walter et al, 2013).…”

Abstract:The relationship between tree-ring growth and climate in Quercus brantii, a widespread and dominant tree species in Zagros-Anti-Taurus Mountains, was investigated by both age-dependent and independent approaches. A total number of 118 trees were sampled in a region where severe Mediterranean climate prevailed. An overall chronology plus three age-dependent chronologies of <80, 80 to 160 and >160 years old were constructed to study growth-climate relationships based on an integrated approach of principle component stepwise regression followed by complementary response function analysis. High age heterogeneity of overall chronology diminished its climatic signals and growth priority was significantly presented in the models. Biennial and triennial precipitation variations were highly related with annual tree ring growth of young and old oaks, respectively. However, hot growing season negatively affected all age-dependent chronology indices. By increasing tree ages the negative effects of warm autumn prior to growth decreased and late winter fall became a limiting climatic factor in old trees. Results of response function analysis also revealed that all oak trees from each age classes were sensitive to increasing April temperature. It's anticipated that, regarding the trends of late frost, this species will face with many challenges in this region and similar areas.
