Fagus grandifolia growth and mortality a decade after the emergence of Beech leaf disease

Trees, Forests and People
Beech leaf disease (BLD) is poised to cause major declines in American beech (Fagus grandifolia) across the eastern United States and parts of Canada. Given the dominance of this tree, quantifying impacts of this emerging disease is critical.

Patterns of Landscape‐Level Spread by Beech Leaf Disease in North America

Forest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Beech leaf disease (BLD) was first detected in North America in Lake County, Ohio in 2012. The disease is detrimental to beech (Fagus spp.) trees and is caused by Litylenchus crenatae ssp. mccannii, a species of nematode that is likely native to Japan.

Acorn Availability Reduces Agricultural Damage by Ungulates. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Human–wildlife conflicts caused by ungulate damage to agricultural crops represent a major ecological and economic challenge. Using a 19‐year national dataset from Poland, we show that oak mast seeding substantially reduces crop damage—by approximately 30%—likely due to a dietary shift of ungulates toward forest resources, whereas beech seed production

Long term variation of leaf abundance in a northern hardwood forest

Ecological Indicators, 2022
Leaf abundance of trees plays a dominant role in energy, water and nutrient flux of forest ecosystems, in defining the habitat structure of entrained biota and in mediating interspecific competition among tree species.

Tree regeneration trends in forests of the northeastern USA and their implications for resilience and restoration. [PDF]

Ecol Appl
Abstract Tree regeneration is vital to shaping characteristics of future forests, including vulnerability to climate change; resilience to pests, pathogens and disturbance; and departure from historical species composition. We used data from nationwide forest inventory plots to investigate trends in sapling abundance and recruitment as well as tree ...

Fungicidal Efficacy of Leaf Extracts From Khaya senegalensis (Desr.) A. Juss. Irrigated With Agricultural Drainage Water and Treated With Some Fertilizer Types. [PDF]

Chem Biodivers
The extraction and analysis of K. senegalensis compounds for wood preservation. Air‐dried leaves are milled, soaked in ethanol, filtered, and concentrated into dried extracts. These extracts undergo HPLC for chemical profiling. The concentrated extract is applied to wood samples to test its antifungal activity, demonstrating its potential as a natural ...

European beech dieback after premature leaf senescence during the 2018 drought in northern Switzerland. [PDF]

, 2022
During the particularly severe hot summer drought in 2018, widespread premature leaf senescence was observed in several broadleaved tree species in Central Europe, particularly in European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.).
