We revealed high phenotypic variation of the species within- as well as between populations. For the species a gender dimorphism of vegetative organs has been proved for the first time. Studied populations showed no clear geographical differentiation. This may be a consequence of repeatedly occurring colonisation-retreat scenarios and suggests the existence of several small refugial populations. Results will be an important base for conservation management of a rare and marginal species.

Presented is a decision support model for classifying wood products according to their influence on the environment in their whole life cycle, including wood characteristics, such as the use of natural and renewable material and storing of carbon in wood. The model uses a multicriteria approach -AHP methodology. The aggregation of parameters is carried out by utility functions on the basis of 52 experts’ findings which were gathered with Delphi method. The results show that the most problematic are preservatives, coating systems and glues.

In this study, we tested the hypothesis that tree species coexist through gap size partitioning in an old-growth Beech-Fir forest in BiH. We found no relationship between regeneration density and gap size. Likewise, there was no evidence of gap size partitioning for shade tolerant beech and fir, but less tolerant maple only recruited to taller life stages in large gaps. The study suggests that coexistence of shade tolerant species is more likely related to their differential ability to tolerate shaded understory conditions rather than gap-size partitioning.

: A model is presented to predict sanitary felling of Norway spruce due to Ips typographus and Pityogenes chalcographus according to different climate change scenarios over a period until 2100, in 10-year intervals. It was developed using the M5 model tree with the basic spatial unit of 1 km2, and the time resolution is 1 year. The results of the model support the hypothesis that bark beetles provoke greater damage to Norway spruce planted out of its native range in Slovenia.

Manuscript is a part of peer reviewed monography, published by reputable publisher. It is systematically covering wild ungulate species from all European countries, including Slovenia and is written especially for experts and researchers. We report past and present status of all autochthonous and alochthonous wild ungulate species in Slovenia, management practices, monitoring methods used for management, intensity and principles of supplemental feeding, ungulate damage monitoring methods, means of damage reduction and success of ungulate management in the country are also described.
