Ecology and silviculture of silver fir (Abies alba Mill.): a review (2017, background): “In the Carpathians, silver fir forests were affected by sheep and cattle grazing, litter raking, charcoal production in charcoal pits and patch cutting of individual trees (Vrška et al. 2009).”
Canopy gaps in an old-growth fir-beech forest remnant of Western Carpathians (2010, background): “The impact of ungulates and the expansion of beech are considered also by Vrška et al. (2009) to be the most important factors that currently limit the fir regeneration in forest reserves of the Carpathians.”
Long-term changes of structure and tree species composition in Dinaric uneven-aged forests: are red deer an important factor? (2010, background): “Simak 1951; Rabotnov 1992; Korpel 1995), yet our data suggest that this alternation is more a result of anthropogenic influences rather than a natural endogenous process; similar was found in the research in fir-beech forests of the Carpathians (Vrska et al. 2009).”
Vegetation of the Czech Republic: diversity, ecology, history and dynamics (2012, background): “These changes led to a decline in the abundance of fir early in the 19th century, which may have been accelerated by air pollution in the 20th century (Málek 1983, Vrška et al. 2009).”
Developmental phases in a temperate natural spruce-fir-beech forest: determination by a supervised classification method (2010, background): “This model is broadly accepted mainly in central Europe (e.g. Jaworski et al. 2002; Saniga and Schutz 2002; Rademacher et al. 2004; Podlaski 2006, 2008; Paluch 2007; Šamonil and Vrška 2007; Vrška et al. 2009) and is also adopted in this paper.”
The effects of edge-interior and understorey-canopy gradients on the distribution of saproxylic beetles in a temperate lowland forest (2013, background): “In reserves, cesation of the traditional managements has lead to full canopy closure, diminution or absence of sunny forest habitats, and exclusion of disturbance dependent, often keystone trees such as oak and fir (Vera, 2000; Vrska et al., 2009).”
