Shaping future forests: how can ecophysiology support climate‐smart forest management?

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2778-2813, June 2026.
Summary Climate change, particularly the associated increase in extreme events and disturbances, threatens the numerous environmental, social, and economic benefits that forests provide, both locally and globally. Heat and drought pose significant risks to forest ecosystems; the anticipated future climate is expected to exacerbate this trend ...

A Review of Propagation and Restoration Techniques for American Beech and Their Current and Future Application in Mitigation of Beech Bark Disease

Sustainability, 2023
The American beech (Fagus grandifolia Ehrh.) has been impacted by the beech bark disease (BBD) complex throughout the northeastern United States for over 100 years, but the disease has been present in the Great Lakes region only for around 20 years, requiring acknowledgement of the evolving context surrounding F. grandifolia.

Neofusicoccum and Phytophthora Species: An Emerging Threat to Fig Trees (Ficus carica) in Italy, With the Description of Phytophthora messapica sp. nov.

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
The work helped clarify the complex aetiology of common fig decline in Italy as the result of a simultaneous attack by canopy pathogens (Ascomycetes, family Botryosphaeriaceae) and root pathogens (oomycetes of the genus Phytophthora) and led to the discovery of several new host–pathogen associations and a new Phytophthora species.

So close yet so far: Movement patterns of livestock guarding dogs in a shared landscape in Romania

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April–June 2026.
We used GPS collars to track 36 livestock guarding dogs (LGDs) from 11 sheep flocks in the Romanian Carpathians to assess how closely they remained with their sheep and how often they roamed in a landscape shared with people and large carnivores. Overall, LGDs were attentive, typically staying within 100 m of sheep at night and 200 m during the day ...

Does single-tree selection work? Observations from 56 years of measurements at Parkside Gully, Algonquin Park, Ontario

The Forestry Chronicle
Parkside Gully was established in 1967, with an unharvested side added in 1974 in response to growing interest in single-tree selection silviculture in Ontario. The site was last operationally harvested in the early 1930s.

Partial harvest to reduce occurrence of American beech affected by beech bark disease: 10 year results [PDF]

Forestry: An International Journal of Forest Research, 2017
Beech bark disease stunts American beech (Fagus grandifolia Ehrh.) to unmerchantable size, and promotes heavy sprouting that outcompetes more desirable sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.) and yellow birch (Betula alleghaniensis Britt.). We investigated whether selection harvest targeting removal of large beech can promote maple and birch regeneration ...

Phage Display Derived Antibodies Against Antimicrobial Peptide FsPDF2 Reveal Stress Response in European Beech

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 1950-1965, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Plant defensins (PDFs) are cysteine‐rich antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) that are important components of plant immunity. They occur constitutively in various plant tissues but are also upregulated upon stress. Therefore, these molecules are of great interest as markers for the diagnosis of early forest stress response in plants at the molecular

Legacies from early‐season hot drought: how growth cessation alters tree water dynamics and modifies stress responses in Scots pine

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 610-621, April 2026.
Early‐season hot drought in Scots pine limits growth and productivity but improves resilience to late‐season drought through reduced water use. Abstract Tree responses to drought are well studied, but the interacting effects of drought timing on growth, water use, and stress legacy are less understood.
