Pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.) is considered the main commercial tree species in conditions of floodplain forests of central Europe. In the Czech Republic clear-cutting silvicultural system represents a prevailing regeneration method of oak stands in floodplain forest. The natural regeneration is limited only in stands and years with sufficient acorn production. We analysed an acorn crop periodicity and an influence of canopy opening to the acorn production in South Moravian floodplain…

Lower North Atlantic Oscillation index (i.e. higher temperatures in the vegetation season and lower during winter, “NAO” hereinafter) was more suitable for Apodemus flavicollis, while higher values of the wNAO (winter NAO index) had a positive impact on Apidemus spp.

A positive correlation between visual scores of seeding intensity and seed yield estimates proved highly unreliable and therefore inaccurate, and the results showed high variability of seed yields within and between the populations.
The impact of seed predation and browsing on natural sessile oak regeneration under different light conditions in an over-aged coppice stand

This study conducted in three oak-dominated over-aged coppice stands in different stages of conversion into coppices-with-standards found that saplings were capable of surviving several years under unfavorable light conditions, but require a minimum of 20% ISF to achieve sustainable height increment.

Alternate bearing, predator satiation and seedling recruitment in Quercus robur L.

It is concluded that the relationship between seed production and seedling recruitment in Quercus robur is variable from site to site: oak recruitment is seed-limited in open sites where vertebrate herbivores are scarce, microsite-limited beneath a dense forest canopy, but herbivore- limited in other sites, especially those where rabbits are abundant.

To define a critical groundwater table which would permit successful regeneration, planted and naturally grown seedlings were compared in two forests differing in the degree of decline and physiological weakness of adult pedunculate oak trees.

The need for a supra-annual cue to synchronize flowering and fruiting as well as the larger seed size found in many tropical oak species should contribute to the evolution of masting to a greater extent than seen among temperate oaks.

It is proposed that trees that died may have been hydraulically underbuilt for dry conditions, which predisposes them to severe hydraulic constraints and subsequent mortality, and probable that pedunculate oak trees will experience greater future mortality if climate changes cause more severe droughts than the trees have experienced previously.
