De‐Coupled Water and Nitrogen Translocation From Subsoil to Canopy of Temperate Forest Trees

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Water and nitrogen (N) transport from soil to canopy play a central role in tree functioning, yet direct evidence for their timing and coupling in mature forests remains scarce. We report results from a paired dual‐isotope (2H, 15N) tracer experiment in a temperate forest, comparing water and nitrate uptake patterns across tree species ...

Water Availability and Hydraulic Strategies Control Leaf Thermoregulation and Damage During Heat Stress and Recovery in Temperate Tree Species

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
Abstract Heatwaves are intensifying worldwide, often coinciding with high vapour pressure deficit (VPD) and soil drought. Yet, how temperate tree species tolerate these combined stresses remains elusive. Using single‐tree gas‐exchange chambers, we examined the response of leaf gas exchange and thermoregulation of three broadleaved tree species to a ...

Comparing the Water-holding Characteristics of Broadleaved, Coniferous, and Mixed Forest Litter Layers in a Karst Region

Mountain Research and Development, 2018
Karst forests are often located in mountainous regions, and because of various geological factors both soil and water loss are major conservation concerns.

Production, decomposition and nutrient contents of litter in subtropical broadleaved forest surpass those in coniferous forest, Meghalaya

, 2020
Litter plays a crucial role in forest ecosystem functioning as its production and decomposition govern the pools and fluxes of forest nutrient cycling.

Ecological niches and biogeography of nitrogen‐fixing plants in Europe

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Despite sharing N fixation as a common trait, European legume and actinorhizal plant lineages occupy strikingly divergent ecological niches shaped by their evolutionary histories and physiological adaptations. Advanced symbiont control allows IRLC legumes to expand into northern, mesic regions, while non‐IRLC legumes are more common in Mediterranean ...

Autecology of broadleaved species

, 2013
Anyone involved in timber production needs some knowledge of autecology. With the renewed interest in hardwoods in the last 20 years, they are increasingly being introduced by planting or encouraged in natural stands. The results in terms of growth have not always met foresters’ expectations, due to technical problems and especially because the species

Revegetation seeding provides broad‐scale efficacy to inhibit the growth of Rhamnus cathartica seedlings across Minnesota, United States

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Removal of Common buckthorn (Rhanmus cathartica) can leave legacies that promote rapid reestablishment of managed populations. By sowing native plant seeds into management areas, managed communities can exert greater biotic resistance against reestablishing invasive plants.

Variation in Tree Species Ability to Capture and Retain Airborne Fine Particulate Matter (PM2.5)

Scientific Reports, 2017
Human health risks caused by PM2.5 raise awareness to the role of trees as bio-filters of urban air pollution, but not all species are equally capable of filtering the air. The objectives of this current study were: (1) to determine the foliar traits for

Optimal Input Features for Tree Species Classification in Central Europe Based on Multi-Temporal Sentinel-2 Data

Remote Sensing, 2019
Detailed knowledge about tree species composition is of great importance for forest management. The two identical European Space Agency (ESA) Sentinel-2 (S2) satellites provide data with unprecedented spectral, spatial and temporal resolution.
