Conspecific negative density dependence in American beech [PDF]

Forest Ecosystems, 2017
Background One of the most important drivers of forest biodiversity is conspecific negative density dependence (CNDD), a reduction in performance when conspecific densities are high.

Fagus grandifolia: American Beech

EDIS, 2014
This massive tree will slowly reach a height and spread of 50 or more feet. Forest grown trees reach up to 120 feet. The tree is naturally low-branched with attractive glossy green leaves providing deep, inviting shade.

Examining the Effect of Beech Bark Disease on Radial Growth in American Beech

Forests, 2023
Beech bark disease (BBD) is a significant threat to forests of North America and the impact of BBD on radial growth in the American beech is substantial. We developed a novel hierarchical Bayesian (HB) model to simultaneously model disease dynamics, tree

Enemy release from beech bark disease coincides with upslope shift of American beech

Canadian Journal of Forest Research, 2022
Upslope shifts in plant distributions are often attributed to warming climate and lengthening of the growing season; however, biotic interactions may also contribute.

Physiological impacts of beech leaf disease across a gradient of symptom severity among understory American beech

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023
Beech leaf disease (BLD) damage is associated with the parasitic nematode Litylenchus crenatae ssp. mccannii. Foliar symptoms manifest as darkened or chlorotic galls in the interveinal portions in the leaf, which become leathery and crinkled under high ...

American beech mortality in stands recently infected by beech bark disease: implications for partial cutting

Canadian Journal of Forest Research
Beech bark disease is a major concern for northern hardwood forest management that affects most of the American beech range in North America. In infected stands, mitigating effects of the disease and promoting more resistant beech populations for natural

Comparisons of protein profiles of beech bark disease resistant and susceptible American beech (Fagus grandifolia). [PDF]

Proteome Sci, 2013
Abstract Background Beech bark disease is an insect-fungus complex that damages and often kills American beech trees and has major ecological and economic impacts on forests of the northeastern United States and southeastern Canadian forests. The disease begins when exotic beech scale insects feed on the bark of trees,

Beech Bark Disease in an Unmanaged Temperate Forest: Patterns, Predictors, and Impacts on Ecosystem Function

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022
Beech Bark Disease (BBD) is a devastating threat to American beech (Fagus grandifolia), spreading through eastern mixed deciduous forests of North America at unprecedented rates.

Balsam Fir and American Beech Influence Soil Respiration Rates in Opposite Directions in a Sugar Maple Forest Near Its Northern Range Limit

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2021
Conifers and deciduous trees greatly differ in regard to their phylogenetics and physiology as well as their influence on soil microclimate and chemical properties.
