No evidence that coring affects tree growth or mortality in three common European temperate forest tree species
Tree cores are a highly valuable scientific resource. Annual growth ring data can, for example, improve our understanding of climate change impacts...

A climate-induced tree species bottleneck for forest management in Europe
Large pulses of tree mortality have ushered in a major reorganization of Europe’s forest ecosystems. To initiate a robust next generation of trees,...

Forest top canopy bacterial communities are influenced by elevation and host tree traits
BackgroundThe phyllosphere microbiome is crucial for plant health and ecosystem functioning. While host species play a determining role in sha**...

Effects of linear edges on tree communities and soil properties in a moist semi-deciduous forest in Ghana
Edge disturbance can affect forest vegetation and soil properties, causing shifts in plant community structure. We investigated how linear forest...

Effects of tree crown height on the flow hydrodynamics and tsunami energy reduction around the coastal forest
Coastal forest acts as a natural solution against floods and tsunami events; however, the difference in the management techniques can significantly...

Current status of tree species diversity at Abu Gadaf Natural Forest Reserve, Blue Nile Region – Sudan
Tree species diversity and distribution in forests, agroforests and other land uses have been continuously providing food and food-associated...

Enhancing forest insect outbreak detection by integrating tree-ring and climate variables
Annual tree rings are widely recognized as valuable tools for quantifying and reconstructing historical forest disturbances. However, the influence...

Tree hydrological niche acclimation through ontogeny in a seasonal Amazon forest
How tropical plants cope with water availability has important implications for forest resilience, as severe drought events are expected to increase...

Tree diversity and community characteristics of a tropical moist deciduous forest of Assam, India
The plant species composition, diversity and regeneration are critical in affecting forest health and are important for the conservation of forest...

Effects of thinning and tree enrichment on carbon stocks and tree species diversity in a secondary semi-evergreen tropical forest in Yucatan Peninsula
Management of secondary forest can contribute to climate change mitigation through carbon storage. In the Yucatan Peninsula, forest owners practise...

Tree mycorrhizal types and the interaction between tree and shrub species richness shape soil fungal communities in a subtropical forest in China
PurposeElucidating the interactions of above- and below-ground communities in forest ecosystems is of great importance for comprehending biodiversity...

Genomic selection: a revolutionary approach for forest tree improvement in the wake of climate change
Forest tree breeding is new and more difficult, time-consuming, and expensive than crop breeding. Forest trees breed every 20–40 years. Genomic and...

Scaling up tree growth to assess forest resilience under increasing aridity: the case of Iberian dry-edge pine forests
ContextMediterranean managed dry-edge pine forests maintain biodiversity and supply key ecosystem services but are threatened by climate change and...

Variability in forest tree species composition and diversity in different aged cocoa agroforests of Ghana
Cocoa agroforestry system is a form of permanent agriculture where cocoa grows in association with different tree species. This study assessed forest...

Nested plot designs used in forest inventory do not accurately capture tree species richness in Southwestern European forests
Key messageNested plot designs with concentric plots with increasing radii and size threshold underestimate tree species richness with respect to...

Leaf turgor loss point varies among tree species, habitats, and seasons in a bottomland hardwood forest
Key messageTree species in a temperate floodplain forest had leaf turgor loss point values similar to those of upland forest trees, suggesting...

Forest fragmentation and its associated edge-effects reduce tree species diversity, size, and structural diversity in Madagascar’s transitional forests
Tropical forests are being cleared at an accelerating rate, despite being one of the most important habitats for global biodiversity. Many remaining...

Drivers of intra-individual spatial variability in methane emissions from tree trunks in upland forest
Key messageIn upland forests, trunk CH 4 emissions exhibit significant intra-individual spatial variability, which was explained by variations in...

Proximity to an old-growth forest edge and ectomycorrhizal tree islands enhance ectomycorrhizal fungal colonization of Betula lenta L. (black birch) seedlings in secondary forest soils
AimsThe few remaining old-growth forests in the northeastern United States are often comprised of ectomycorrhizal (EM) tree-dominated patches...
