A multi‐scale assessment of interior Douglas‐fir tree mortality for hazard and risk assessments
Abstract Land managers use hazard (susceptibility) and risk rating systems to guide the application of forest management treatments that aim to reduce future damages to forests. Rating systems are typically designed for individual damage agents, but tree mortality often results from multiple agents without a clear proximate cause.

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract A key feature of Orchidaceae is the production of dust‐like seeds that depend on fungal carbon during early development. Although protocorms and mature green orchids typically associate with rhizoctonia fungi, many non‐photosynthetic orchids and some photosynthetic ...

Potential lasting effect of opportunistic parasitic fungi on coarse wood decomposition
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.
