Seduced by the dark side: integrating molecular and ecological perspectives on the influence of light on plant defence against pests and pathogens. [PDF]

, 2006
Plants frequently suffer attack from herbivores and microbial pathogens, and have evolved a complex array of defence mechanisms to resist defoliation and disease.

Hyperspectral imaging has a limited ability to remotely sense the onset of beech bark disease

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation
Insect and pathogen outbreaks have a major impact on northern forest ecosystems. Even for pathogens that have been present in a region for decades, such as beech bark disease (BBD), new waves of tree mortality are expected.

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.

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 ...

Novel threats and response to Acadia National Park forests: Simulating the resist–accept–direct management framework

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract How future pathogens will interact with climate change to affect forests is unknown. While specific predictions of complex interactions may be unreliable, exploring a gradient of disturbance severity and management can be informative. We simulated forests in Acadia National Park (ANP) in Maine, USA, under climate change.

Narrating Entanglement Without Dehumanisation in Contemporary Eco‐Fiction

Future Humanities, Volume 4, Issue 1, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This essay presents a comparative analysis of two contemporary works of eco‐fiction, Richard Powers's The Overstory (2018) and Eleanor Catton's Birnam Wood (2023). Both novels use multiperspective narration in the service of entanglement narratives, forms of storytelling that emphasise the interconnection of human and nonhuman life.

Living by the lake: Plant food diversity in a prehistoric lake‐dwelling community in the Republic of North Macedonia

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue S2, Page S47-S68, May 2026.
Abstract This paper explores the relationship between wetland ecosystems and prehistoric lakeshore settlements within the Lake Ohrid basin (a biodiversity hotspot) by considering plant food systems at Ploča Mičov Grad, North Macedonia. The mid‐fifth millennium (c.4555–4373 to 4437–4241 cal BCE) waterlogged assemblage contained a diverse spectrum of ...
