On behalf of the Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN), the Swiss College for Agriculture established the basis to foster oak species in Switzerland. For this, the growth areas of three oak species, common oak (Quercus robur), sessile oak (Q. petraea) and pubescent oak (Q. pubescens) were assessed throughout the entire country. The assessment was based on their physiological potential, their natural growth area and on the appearance of the middle spotted woodpecker. In addition, the older mixed oak stands were surveyed. These fundamental data were collected with a geographical information system and analyzed for each canton. Altogether, approximately one-fourth of the Swiss forest area is suitable for oak. The natural oak growth area covers however 38 500 ha only. About 19 000 ha of forest are populated by the middle spotted woodpecker and extended older mixed oak forests are found on approximately 24 500 ha. According to the applied evaluation matrix, the greatest potential for fostering oak species lies in eight cantons: Aargau, Zürich, Solothurn, Thurgau, Vaud, BaselLandschaft, Ticino and Schaffhausen.

The most widely distributed oak species in Serbia are Q. petrea (sessile oak), Q. cerris (Turkey oak) and Q. frainetto (Hungarian oak) and Quercus robur (common oak), and lignicolous fungi are the major agents of wood decay in natural and coppice oak forests. In this research, 33 species of fungi were identified. Eleven species were described, among which the most significant are: Armillaria mellea, Fomes fomentarius, Hypoxylon deustum Laetiporus sulphureus, Lenzites quercina and Phellinus robustus. This paper presents the morphological characteristics of the most significant identified fungi, their distribution, host plants and significance.

Oribatid mites (Acari, Oribatida) of bushy patches in steppe vegetation of cape Tarkhankut in Crimea (Ukraine)The density, species number, and age structure of oribatid mites were investigated in bushy patches (elm, hawthorn, hawthorn with rose) in steppe vegetation of cape Tarkhankut (Crimea). In these patches, the density of mites in shrub litter, herbs and moss was higher, but species number was similar like in open steppe vegetation. Hawthorn increased the density distinctly more than hawthorn with rose or bushy elms. In bushy patches, the samples of moss were richer in mites than samples of shrub litter alone or with herbs. Among oribatid mites,Chamobatesc.f.spinosusandTrhypochthonius tectorumwere most abundant, but relatively abundant and common were alsoTectocepheus velatus, Oribatulasp. 1,Achipteria nitens, andBrachychthonius berlesei. In oribatid mite communities, adults dominated, but the age structure of populations greatly depended on vegetation type.
