Colonisation potential of the bark beetle (Taphrorychus bicolor) on beech logs and logging residues: ecological context and implications for pest management in forests

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 6628-6637, July 2026.
Beech residues left in shaded or semi‐shaded conditions pose a substantial risk of local Taphrorychus bicolor population outbreaks. The rapid removal or placement of residues in sun‐exposed locations can help mitigate this risk. Abstract BACKGROUND The bark beetle Taphrorychus bicolor has been traditionally classified as a secondary pest of European ...

Day and night respiration of three tree species in a temperate forest of northeastern China

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2015
Leaf day respiration is one of the most fundamental plant physiological processes and plays a vital role in the plant carbon cycle. However, day respiration is inherently complex and difficult to measure.

Wallace's pARCs—Making Climate, Climate Change and Biodiversity Data Available to Protected Area Managers and Conservation Planners With an Example From Biebrza National Park, Poland

Climate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 1, June 2026.
A spatial representation of the potential ‘adaptation effort’ that might be needed to maintain at least 75% of the species modelled in Biebrza National Park, Poland (white outline), at 1.5°C. The darker the green shading, the less adaptation would be needed.

Wood Decomposition in European Rivers Increases With Temperature but Decreases With Human Population Density

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
We investigated wood decomposition in rivers across seven catchments and 72 river locations in Europe and found that temperature was the main driver of decomposition rate, with a predicted 4.3% increase per 1°C rise in mean annual temperature. However, climate‐change induced increases in mean annual precipitation and an increased human population ...

Whole System Ecohydrological Change Following Natural Flood Management and a Five‐Year Beaver Reintroduction Trial

Ecohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 4, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Once‐common beavers have been absent from the British landscape for centuries, but wild beaver populations have returned in recent years as part of reintroduction schemes, including releases into monitored enclosures. In North Yorkshire, such a release of Eurasian beavers took place in 2019.

The role of tree traits in explaining throughfall variability in US forests

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Throughfall, precipitation that passes through the plant canopy or drips from canopy surfaces, represents the dominant input of water to most forests and is extremely spatially and temporally variable. Many plant traits can influence throughfall, but because measuring throughfall and a wide variety of plant traits is labor intensive, most ...
