Open AccessEffects of the cascading translocations of larch (Larix decidua Mill.) on canker disease due to Lachnellula willkommii (R. Hartig) Dennis
Appropriate silvicultural practices combined with the use of resistant Central European provenances can reduce the prevalence of larch canker caused by Lachnellula willkommii (R. Hartig) Dennis, a major disease a...

Impact of early insect herbivory on the invasive oak lace bug (Corythucha arcuata Say, 1832) in different oak species
Insect herbivores co-occurring on the same host plant interact in various ways. In particular, early-season insect herbivory triggers a wide range of plant responses that can determine the performance of herbi...

Effects of tree mixture on forest productivity: tree species addition versus substitution
The effects of tree mixture on stand productivity are usually examined using a substitutive approach whereby productivity in mixed stands is compared to productivity in monocultures, at comparable tree density...

Trees and Insects Have Microbiomes: Consequences for Forest Health and Management
Forest research has shown for a long time that microorganisms influence tree-insect interactions, but the complexity of microbial communities, as well as the holobiont nature of both trees and insect herbivore...

Open AccessUsing forest gap models and experimental data to explore long-term effects of tree diversity on the productivity of mixed planted forests
In this exploratory study, we show how combining the strength of tree diversity experiment with the long-term perspective offered by forest gap models allows testing the mixture yielding behavi...

Article
Associational resistance to a pest insect fades with time
Tree diversity is one of the drivers of forest resistance to herbivores. Most of the current understanding of the diversity resistance relationship comes primarily from short-term studies. Knowing whether tree...

Open AccessContrasting effects of tree species and genetic diversity on the leaf-miner communities associated with silver birch
Both species and genetic diversity of plant communities can affect insect herbivores, but a few studies have compared the effects of both diversity levels within the same experimental context. We compared the ...

Article
Plant neighbour identity and invasive pathogen infection affect associational resistance to an invasive gall wasp
Theory predicts that mixed forests are more resistant to native pests than pure forests (i.e. associational resistance) because of reduced host accessibility and increased top-down control by natural enemies. ...

A million and more trees for science
TreeDivNet is the largest network of biodiversity experiments worldwide, but needs to expand. We encourage colleagues to establish new experiments on the relation between tree species diversity and forest ecos...

Article
Open AccessDrought and plant neighbourhood interactively determine herbivore consumption and performance
Both plant neighbourhood composition and drought have well-known independent effects on insect herbivore performance, but their interactive effects remain elusive. In this study we performed a laboratory exper...

Open AccessCan linear transportation infrastructure verges constitute a habitat and/or a corridor for insects in temperate landscapes? A systematic review
The role of linear transportation infrastructures (roads, railways, oil and gas pipelines, power lines, rivers and canals) in fragmenting natural habitats is fully acknowledged. Up to now, the potential of lin...

Belowground–Aboveground Interactions Between Pathogens and Herbivores
Plants are attacked by pathogens and herbivores with a wide range of lifestyles, both belowground and aboveground. These pathogens and herbivores often co-occur on the same host plant, even though one of them ...

Forest biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and the provision of ecosystem services
Forests are critical habitats for biodiversity and they are also essential for the provision of a wide range of ecosystem services that are important to human well-being. There is increasing evidence that biod...

Tree Diversity Drives Forest Stand Resistance to Natural Disturbances
Forests are frequently exposed to natural disturbances, which are likely to increase with global change, and may jeopardize the delivery of ecosystem services. Mixed-species forests have often been shown to be...

Article
Host range expansion is density dependent
The realized host range of herbivores is expected to increase with herbivore population density. Theory also predicts that trait similarity and phylogenetic relatedness between native and exotic plants is expe...

Open AccessJack-of-all-trades effects drive biodiversity–ecosystem multifunctionality relationships in European forests
There is considerable evidence that biodiversity promotes multiple ecosystem functions (multifunctionality), thus ensuring the delivery of ecosystem services important for human well-being. However, the mechan...

Open AccessContributions of a global network of tree diversity experiments to sustainable forest plantations
The area of forest plantations is increasing worldwide hel** to meet timber demand and protect natural forests. However, with global change, monospecific plantations are increasingly vulnerable to abiotic a...

Insect – Tree Interactions in Thaumetopoea pityocampa
The pine processionary moth is, by far, the most important insect defoliator of pine forests in Southern Europe and North Africa, both in terms of its temporal occurrence, geographic range and socioeconomic im...
