tree species. The paper presents the characteristics of Slovenian beech forests regarding their natural
distribution range, diversity of beech forest types and site conditions, sustainable co-nature-based
management and gene pool conservation. New information about observed beech injuries and future
perspectives of beech forests in the territory of Slovenia according to predicted climate changes are
included. The mesic beech-forest vegetation may be adversely affected by changing environmental
conditions predicted by the existing climate-change scenarios, and the area of prevailing beech forests
is likely to decrease in the future.Read More
