Sources and methods to reconstruct past masting patterns in European oak species

Original language description

The irregular occurrence of good seed years in forest trees is known in many parts of the world. Mast year frequency in the past few decades can be examined through field observational studies; however, masting patterns in the more distant past are equally important in gaining a better understanding of long-term forest ecology. Past masting patterns can be studied through the examination of historical written sources. This paper provides a critical overview of the types of archival written sources thatare available for the reconstruction of past masting patterns for European oak species and proposes a method to unify and evaluate different types of data. The optimal solution for creating databases for past masting data is a three-point scale. When larger amounts of data are available in a unified three-point scale database, they can be used to test hypotheses about past masting frequencies, the driving forces of masting or regional masting patterns.
