Potential lasting effect of opportunistic parasitic fungi on coarse wood decomposition
Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 12, Page 3586-3595, December 2025.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Deadwood is a crucial component of the global carbon budget, storing a substantial amount of carbon in forests. Understanding factors influencing deadwood turnover is therefore vital for predicting carbon cycling under climate change.

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2542-2583, December 2025.ABSTRACT Biological invasions are one of the major drivers of biodiversity decline and have been shown to have far‐reaching consequences for society and the economy. Preventing the introduction and spread of alien species represents the most effective solution to reducing their impacts on nature and human well‐being.

Plant Pathology, Volume 74, Issue 9, Page 2697-2714, December 2025.Novel plant diebacks are emerging in association with reoccurring droughts in California. Field isolations and greenhouse trials show that latent pathogens and drought together, and not drought alone, cause the most severe diebacks. ABSTRACT The detection of emergent biotic and abiotic threats to plant health is challenging in an interconnected world ...

International Biological Flora: Tsuga canadensis*
Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 10, Page 3037-3080, October 2025.Eastern Hemlock is a long‐lived forest tree of eastern North America known for its deep shade and home given to many organisms. Despite surviving large‐scale clearing for agriculture when Europeans arrived, it returned to dominate when the land was abandoned in the mid 1800s.

Microfungi in the soil beneath common oak and their effect on Armillaria occurrence
Acta Mycologica, 2014 Microfungal assemblages in a soil beneath 30- and 50·year-old oaks and their 2-year-old stumps were studied using the soil dilution plate method. A total of 98 culturable microfungi were isolated.

Aerial sketchmapping for monitoring forest conditions in Southern Brazil. [PDF]
, 2015 Aerial sketchmapping is a simple, low cost remote sensing method used for detection and mapping of forest damage caused by biotic agents (insects, pathogens and other pests) and abiotic agents (wind, fire, storms, hurricane, ice storms) in North America.

Patterns and drivers of biotic disturbance hotspots in western United States coniferous forests
Ecography, Volume 2025, Issue 9, September 2025.Globally, forest disturbances caused by herbivorous insects and plant pathogens (i.e. biotic disturbances) have increased since the 1990s, a trend linked in part to climate warming. With increases in biotic disturbance activity, an emerging ecological phenomenon has been documented: biotic disturbance ‘hotspots', or areas where two or more biotic ...
