Assessing the Role of Mixed Tree Species in Mitigating Ash Dieback: Insights From Greenhouse Experiments

Forest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Since its introduction, ash dieback has been a disease affecting ash (Fraxinus excelsior) stands across nearly their entire range. As the disease cannot be contained, various options for mitigating its severity have been explored in numerous studies.

Marker-Trait Associations for Tolerance to Ash Dieback in Common Ash (Fraxinus excelsior L.) [PDF]

, 2020
Common ash (Fraxinus excelsior L.) is a tree species of significant ecological and economic importance that has suffered a devastating decline since the 1990s in Europe.

Vulnerable Juniper Populations Show Adaptive Potential in the Face of a Highly Damaging Invasive Tree Pathogen

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Invasive tree pathogens pose a significant and increasing threat to natural ecosystems. The outcome of these novel host‐pathogen interactions depends largely on the presence and nature of resistance in host populations, which will govern the host's potential to respond through natural selection and adaptation to the new threat.

Spider Webs as Efficient Passive Samplers for Airborne Fungal eDNA in Forests: A Case Study With Hymenoscyphus fraxineus

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
Spider webs (orb and sheet) are more efficient than filter paper (exposed for 1 day or 1 week) for passive collection of eDNA in a forest environment. Spider webs are scalable and low‐cost tools suitable for targeted surveillance of plant pathogens. Created in https://BioRender.com.

Tracking Water Dynamics of a Temperate Forest Under Drought and Non‐Drought Conditions Using Active and Passive Microwave and Optical Remote Sensing

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Water status, water dynamics, and ecohydrological resilience of a protected German beech forest during the 2018–2020 multi‐year drought are assessed using over six years of multi‐frequency remote sensing data, integrating active, passive, and optical sensors with varying canopy penetration depths, highlighting the importance of monitoring ...

Evaluating the Potential of WorldView-2 Data to Classify Tree Species and Different Levels of Ash Mortality

Remote Sensing, 2014
Forest disturbances in central Europe caused by fungal pests may result in widespread tree mortality. To assess the state of health and to detect disturbances of entire forest ecosystems, up-to-date knowledge of the tree species diversity is essential ...

Deer activity limits tree recruitment in woodland creation sites

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
Deer activity and browsing damage in woodland creation sites can be reduced through targeted management of structural attributes. Small, dense, structurally heterogeneous woodlands with low basal area are most vulnerable to deer impacts. To ensure continuous tree recruitment, localised deer activity should be minimised, while avoiding complete ...

Identification of ash-associated understorey diversity—a lesson from historical vegetation records

Annals of Forest Science
Key message Forest communities historically dominated by common ash (Fraxinus excelsior L.) were characterized by particularly high species richness in the understorey and included a distinct set of vascular plant species statistically associated with ...

Symptoms, prevalence and harmfulness of Fraxinus excelsior L. tuberculosis (pathogen - Pseudomonas syringae pv. savastanoi (Smith 1908) Young et al.)

Наукові праці Лісівничої академії наук України, 2021
It should be noted that in recent years there has been observed a epiphytic dieback of many species of forest woody plants in Ukraine as well as in other countries, which is of dynamic nature and tends to grow.

Demographic and Structural Variability Modulate Growth Dynamics in European Beech Primary Forests

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 5, May 2026.
Climate change is increasing drought and heat stress on European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), causing widespread tree vitality losses and growth declines across Europe. Using a large tree ring network from montane primary beech forests, we found that trees of various ages and sizes respond differently to climate warming, leading to contrasting within ...
