Bioclimatology of beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) in the Eastern Alps: spatial and altitudinal climatic signals identified through a tree‐ring network (2007, background): “…autoecology and biogeography of European beech, it is reasonable to expect higher exposure to drought stress toward the southern limit of beech geographic range (Becker, 1981), and an increased importance of temperature moving northward and upward (Dittmar & Elling, 2005; Fang & Lechowicz, 2006).”
Evolution and Ecology of Species Range Limits (2009, background): “Range boundary disequilibria with environmental niches is often attributed to dispersal limitation, where populations cannot expand as quickly as the environment becomes favorable (e.g., recolonizing formerly glaciated areas; Fang & Lechowicz 2006).”
Communities of wood‐inhabiting bryophytes and fungi on dead beech logs in Europe – reflecting substrate quality or shaped by climate and forest conditions? (2014, background): “Beech species (Fagus spp.) are widespread and typical trees of temperate deciduous forests throughout the Northern Hemisphere (Fang & Lechowicz, 2006; Bradshaw et al., 2010).”
Biological relativity to water–energy dynamics (2006, background): “With the onset of the interglacial, those that did survive (and others) could return, or are still in the midst of (re-)colonization (e.g. Fagus sylvatica, Fang & Lechnowicz, 2006).”
Patterns of Land-use Abandonment Control Tree-recruitment and Forest Dynamics in Mediterranean Mountains (2007, background): “…with reduced precipitation and a rise in drought frequency during the growing season (Pal and others 2004) could alter this future scenario of increasing fir and beech abundance, due to their sensitivity to sustained dry conditions (Aussenac 2002; Ciais and others 2005; Fang and Lechowicz 2006).”
Modelling geographic distribution and detecting conservation gaps in Italy for the threatened beetle Rosalia alpina (2013, background): “…of precipitation n May and November, contributing both ca. 11%, may likewise be xplained in terms of climatic requirements of beech forest (Fang Lechovicz 2006) since they may prevent late spring water stress, specially in lower elevation forest stands, and favour radial growth e.g. Piovesan…”
Mapping the Global Potential Geographical Distribution of Black Locust (Robinia Pseudoacacia L.) Using Herbarium Data and a Maximum Entropy Model (2014, background): “Fang and Lechowicz [43] also found that heat-related climatic factors were the limiting factors of the geographical distribution of Fagus spp. around the world, especially the heat conditions during the growing season.”
Future of Beech in Southeast Europe from the Perspective of Evolutionary Ecology (2010, background): “…literature data on xeric limits of beech occurrence (Czúcz et al. 2010) Source Temperature limit (○C) Precipitation limit (mm) EQ index limit (○C/mm) Fang and Lechowicz 2006 ann. mean < 13.5, July mean < 23.0 ann. mean > 900 29.0 Kölling 2007, cool-dry limit ann. mean < 9.5 ann. mean > 500 –…”
