The role of nutritional impairment in carbon-water balance of silver fir drought-induced dieback. [PDF]
Glob Chang Biol, 2022 Declining silver fir trees show lower foliar concentrations of essential nutrients such as P, K, Cu and Ni than non‐declining trees. This nutritional impairment exacerbates and amplifies the negative effects of drought on tree functioning and growth, considering the relationship of tree nutritional status with water‐use efficiency and growth resilience

Communities of endophytic fungi in a Puerto Rican rainforest vary along a gradient of disturbance due to Hurricane Maria. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2022 Even more than a year after the catastrophic passage of Hurricane Maria, communities of endophytic symbionts in a Puerto Rican rainforest bear a signature of forest disturbance. Abstract Increases in the frequency and intensity of hurricanes influence the structure, function, and resilience of Caribbean forests.

Patterns of leaf trait variation underlie ecological differences among sympatric tree species of Damburneya in a tropical rainforest. [PDF]
Am J Bot, 2022 Abstract Premise Although ecological differentiation driven by altitude and soil is hypothesized to promote coexistence of sympatric tree species of Damburneya (Lauraceae), the mechanistic role of leaf functional variation on ecological differentiation among co‐occurring species remains unexplored.

Foliar spectral signatures reveal adaptive divergence in live oaks (Quercus section Virentes) across species and environmental niches. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Genomic tools have advanced our understanding of species and population structure, but distinguishing neutral from adaptive evolution remains challenging due to limited methods for measuring a broad spectrum of phenotypic traits. We used spectroscopic data from preserved leaves to test for adaptive divergence among populations of live oaks ...

Pest categorisation of <i>Neoscytalidium dimidiatum</i>. [PDF]
EFSA J, 2023 Abstract The EFSA Plant Health Panel performed a pest categorisation of Neoscytalidium dimidiatum, a clearly defined plant pathogenic fungus of the family Botryosphaeriaceae. The pathogen affects a wide range of woody perennial crops and ornamental plants causing symptoms such as leaf spot, shoot blight, branch dieback, canker, pre‐ and post‐harvest ...

Histologic, metabolomic, and transcriptomic differences in fir trees from a peri-urban forest under chronic ozone exposure. [PDF]
Ecol EvolUrbanization alters ecosystems and evolutionary processes. Processes like air pollution by tropospheric ozone contribute to the decline of urban and peri‐urban ecosystems, such as Abies religiosa forests in the peripheral mountains southwest of Mexico City.

Efecto nutricional foliar de silicio para el cultivo de banano (Musa spp.) en Ecuador
Agronomía Costarricense, 2023 Introducción. El silicio en banano (Musa spp.) y su nivel crítico al ser aplicado de forma foliar es poco conocido. Por ello, en la presente investigación se propuso como hipótesis que la aplicación foliar de dosis frecuente de ácido monosilicico (SiOH4)
