Ten Strategies to Promote Climate Resilience and Sustainability of Global Forests

WIREs Climate Change, Volume 17, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Ten integrated strategies show how forests worldwide can withstand climate threats, protect biodiversity, and sustain human livelihoods through smarter conservation, diverse planting, community‐led action, adaptive management, and innovative governance, securing our future in a rapidly changing climate.

Negative Feedbacks on Bark Beetle Outbreaks: Widespread and Severe Spruce Beetle Infestation Restricts Subsequent Infestation

PLOS ONE, 2015
Understanding disturbance interactions and their ecological consequences remains a major challenge for research on the response of forests to a changing climate. When, where, and how one disturbance may alter the severity, extent, or occurrence probability of a subsequent disturbance is encapsulated by the concept of linked disturbances.

Data for: Tree defenses, host choice, and reproductive success of a native bark beetle under novel outbreak conditions, 2011-2013 & 2022-2023, Beltrami Island State Forest, MN

Data consists of four different CSV files. One contains raw field data regarding tree characteristics and year of beetle colonization. One contains raw and calculated field data regarding beetle reproductive success based on tree.

Impact evaluation shows that hunting without quotas has contrasting effects on deer harvest across management levels

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
Hunting without quotas increased the total and female harvest density in state forests, but actually decreased female harvest across the state. Thus, such hunting could result in source–sink dynamics that make actual reductions of roe deer densities in state forests challenging.

Forest-Landscape Structure Mediates Effects of a Spruce Bark Beetle (Dendroctonus rufipennis) Outbreak on Subsequent Likelihood of Burning in Alaskan Boreal Forest

, 2016
Characterizing how variation in forest landscape structure shapes patterns of natural disturbances and mediates interactions between multiple disturbances is critical for anticipating ecological consequences of climate change in high-latitude forest ...

ULISSE: Parameter-efficient adaptation of earth vision models to monitor forest disturbance in sentinel-2 time series

Ecological Informatics
Europe is one of the most forest-rich regions in the world, with forestry mainly based on the management of coniferous trees. However, the spruce forest ecosystem is vulnerable to several disturbance agents. In particular, bark beetle outbreaks have been

Plant and soil elemental coupling in response to experimentally altered precipitation and root herbivory in an Australian grassland

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 5, May 2026.
This work provides novel experimental evidence on how chemical elements in plants and soils respond to changes in precipitation regimes and shifts in plant–animal interactions (root herbivory), moving the focus from changes in plant and soil elements to the way in which such elements are coordinated.

Do fuel reduction treatments in Alaska affect tree health?

Environmental Research: Ecology
Increasing wildfire risk in Alaska has prompted the adoption of fuel reduction treatments, including hand-thinning and mechanical mastication, to mitigate fire behavior and improve firefighter safety.
