Are novel and co‐xenic associations common in alien fungal and fungus‐like plant pathogens?
Possible scenarios for plant–pathogen associations during invasion. An introduced plant may occur in a new area without its pathogen (enemy release) or together with its pathogen (co‐introduction). The presence of the alien plant (in red) and its co‐introduced pathogen (in dark red) can result in pathogen spillover to co‐occurring plants. Host jumps to

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

Tree Species Composition and Harvest Intensity Affect Herbivore Density and Leaf Damage on Beech, Fagus sylvatica, in Different Landscape Contexts [PDF]
Most forests are exposed to anthropogenic management activities that affect tree species composition and natural ecosystem processes. Changes in ecosystem processes such as herbivory depend on management intensity, and on regional environmental ...

Increasing Respiration Weakens the Carbon Sink Over Two Decades in a Temperate Deciduous Forest
Using a 20‐year eddy covariance record from a temperate deciduous forest, we show that net carbon uptake declined over two decades. Both the trend and interannual variability in net carbon exchange were respiration driven, with warming winters and increasing late‐summer diffuse light driving the trend in respiration.

Abstract In the last decades, forest in the Netherlands have been exposed to high levels nitrogen (N) deposition, which allows to assess the fate and impacts of N and evaluate the concept of N saturation in this large scale “experiment” and related soil acidification.

A single clonal lineage has driven Cape beech canker for nearly two decades. However, the fungus was also found in healthy trees, suggesting that this emerging disease may have a more complex origin than a simple pathogen introduction. ABSTRACT Immersiporthe knoxdaviesiana (Cryphonectriaceae) causes an aggressive canker disease on native Myrsine ...

Temporally resolved intra-annual wood density variations in European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) as affected by climate and aspect [PDF]
We investigated the temporal variability of intra-annual wood density variations in European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) in a valley in southwestern Germany. Samples were collected from 11 beech trees growing at north-west (NW) and south-west (SW) exposed

ABSTRACT Genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) aim to identify loci associated with different traits, which could be evaluated in subsequent studies and later be prioritized in individual and seed stand selection. In trees, traits are measured at maturity or are only available after a long time, and juvenile‐mature correlations are often unknown ...

Abstract Introduction Understanding how herbivores influence plant communities is critical for managing biodiversity and ecosystem functions, particularly in conservation areas undergoing restoration or rewilding, where free‐ranging large herbivores impact the vegetation development.
