A multi‐scale assessment of interior Douglas‐fir tree mortality for hazard and risk assessments

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 1, January 2026.
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.

Aerial sketchmapping for monitoring forest conditions in Southern Brazil. [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

Endophytes vs tree pathogens and pests: can they be used as biological control agents to improve tree health? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Like all other plants, trees are vulnerable to attack by a multitude of pests and pathogens. Current control measures for many of these diseases are limited and relatively ineffective.

The nexus of decay and birth: Ecological and evolutionary significance of wood‐decaying fungi in green Calypsoinae orchid germination

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 12, Page 3659-3671, December 2025.
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

open access: yesFunctional 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.
