Unearthing Forest History: Integrating Soil Charcoal Macrofossils and Pollen Reveals Delayed Forest Responses to Holocene Climatic Transitions in Boreal-Temperate Ecotone. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study reconstructs long‐term vegetation dynamics at the boreal–temperate forest ecotone in eastern Canada using soil charcoal, pollen records, and forest inventories. Results reveal a delayed expansion of thermophilous tree species and a late borealization of the landscape in relation to climate change, alongside recent stand‐scale shifts driven ...

Shared mycorrhizae but distinct communities of other root-associated microbes on co-occurring native and invasive maples [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Background Biological invasions are major drivers of environmental change that can significantly alter ecosystem function and diversity. In plants, soil microbes play an important role in plant establishment and growth; however, relatively little is ...

Chlorophyll content monitoring in sugar maple (Acer saccharum) [PDF]
Tree Physiology, 2003 We conducted two experiments to determine the usefulness of a chlorophyll content meter (CCM) for the measurement of foliar chlorophyll concentration in sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.) in the fall color period. In Experiment 1, four sugar maple trees were visually assigned to each of four fall foliage color categories in October 1998. On four dates

Comparative Analysis of Four Maple Species for Syrup Production in South-Central Appalachia
Journal of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Community Development, 2020 Sugar maple (Acer saccharum L.) is a key cultural and economic resource from eastern Canada to south-central Appalachia. Environmental uncertainties could create problems for this iconic species, in particular affecting the southern extent of its range ...

Nitrogen resorption in Acer platanoides and Acer saccharum: influence of light exposure and leaf pigmentation [PDF]
Acta Physiologiae Plantarum, 2014 We investigated the effects of leaf color change in the fall on photosynthetic production and nitrogen resorption. Seedlings of Acer platanoides L. and A. saccharum Marsh. were grown in a shade house for 5 months in either 21 % (intermediate light, M) or 4.9 % (low light, L) of incident irradiance.
