Unapparent trees: escaping enemies in time by being discreet, unpredictable and inaccessible

Oikos, Volume 2025, Issue 9, September 2025.
For half a century, biologists considered trees as particularly apparent to their enemies. But why then do some trees escape herbivorous enemies by bursting buds either too early or too late, leading to phenological mismatch? We hypothesize that such mismatches occur on trees that are unapparent in time – those that burst buds ‘discreetly' (slowly) and

Management of service crops for the provision of ecosystem services in vineyards: A review [PDF]

, 2018
Service crops are crops grown with the aim of providing non-marketed ecosystem services, i.e. differing from food, fiber and fuel production. Vineyard soils face various agronomic issues such as poor organic carbon levels, erosion, fertility losses, and ...

A Global Short Rotation Coppice (SRC) Willow Dataset for the Bioeconomy: Implications for the Yield in the United Kingdom

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2025.
While research to date has focused on single genotypes of coppice willow grown in monoculture, industry standards have been characterised for growing mixtures of 6–8 genotypes for decades. We collected a dataset with several genotype by environment interactions to bridge the gap between industry and academia thanks to its versatility.

Cold hardening and dehardening in Salix [PDF]

, 2003
The variation in cold hardiness in Salix in the autumn was investigated using clones of different geographic origins. In late growing season, the variation was small and inversely related to a phenotypic variation in potential growth rate.

Provenance Variation in Functional Traits of European Forest Trees: Meta‐Analysis Reveals Effects of Taxa and Age Despite Critical Research Gaps

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
This meta‐analysis on intraspecific variation in European trees studied the frequency of provenance variation, provenance–environment interaction, clinal variation along the climate of origin or transfer distance. While identifying trait group specific patterns of variation, research gaps have been identified in terms of age and geographical ...

Gene Regulatory Changes Associated With Phenological Transitions in an Ecologically Significant Tree Species

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2025.
Climate change is driving earlier spring leaf‐out across temperate regions, but the genetic mechanisms and environmental interactions underlying this variability are poorly understood. We conducted a controlled growth chamber experiment using excised northern red oak (Quercus rubra) branches, testing the influence of temperature and photoperiod on leaf

Post‐budburst hand finishing of winter spur pruning can delay technological ripening without altering phenolic maturity of Merlot berries

, 2020
Background and Aims Global warming can lead to technological ripening occurring in advance of phenolic maturity for red wine cultivars. This study evaluated the effect of post‐budburst winter pruning on the phenology, yield components, berry composition

PhenoVision: A framework for automating and delivering research‐ready plant phenology data from field images

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, Page 1763-1780, August 2025.
Abstract Plant phenology plays a fundamental role in shaping ecosystems, and global change‐induced shifts in phenology have cascading impacts on species interactions and ecosystem structure and function. Detailed, high‐quality observations of when plants undergo seasonal transitions such as leaf‐out, flowering and fruiting are critical for tracking ...
